This font uses the idea of destruction to break up the individual letters. The effect of the destruction comes from a bullet going through each of the letters and not stopping, which is why the line is at the same level for each letter. The line is clean to show the speed in which the bullet would be travelling.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Darius" (1987), also reused in "Darius II" (1989).
In the tile set for "Darius", the "$" was missing a few pixels - this was addressed in "Darius II", and this recreation contains the dollar sign from the latter version.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Taito's "Syvalion" (1988).
The original has an additional subtle 1px border around all characters, which acts as basic antialiasing. In this recreation, this border has been removed.
Note the "black circle" (U+25CF), "medium shade" (U+2592), and the round "target" character that has been mapped to "currency symbol" (U+00A4)
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from Atari's "Super Bug" (1977) and "Fire Truck" (aka "Smokey Joe", 1978).
In the games, the font is incomplete. Both lack a "Q", "V" and "W", which I made from scratch for this recreation, trying to approximate the overall style/feel. The "J" is present in "Super Bug", but not "Fire Truck". Conversely, the "K" is present in "Fire Truck" only.
With the exception of the added letters, only the characters present in the games' tilesets have been included.
Recreation of the large pixel font from IGS' "Demon Front" (2002) - its hommage to/ripoff of "Metal Slug" (1996).
This variant is used primarily in the highscore screen.
Only the character present in the game's tile set have been included.
