Based on a pattern from _The Priscilla filet crochet book; a collection of beautiful designs in filet crochet, equally adapted to cross-stitch, beads and canvas, with working directions_ by Robinson, Belle; Priscilla Publishing Co (1911) p42. This version adds minuscule letters and basic symbols, and much simplified to emphasize the "holes" from the inspiration, removing side flourishes and flowers(?) that were the main elements of that design.

A remake of the font from the GBC production "Mental Respirator" from the Phantasy demo group. (A few of the characters I interpolated for the full Basic Latin Charset)
All design credits for the original characters go to Exocet of Phantasy
A minimalist fraktur, broken down to the bare minimum of penstrokes. Based on the later more rounded typefaces with fewer distinct pen movements. Made for practicing calligraphy rather than æsthetics, especially w.r.t. lowercase letters. This schematic breakdown makes for easier learning of stroke-order and movements.
I needed a pixel font that was optimized in space but still comfortably readable, so I created Simpixel.
As three by five (3x5) seemed a reasonable size for capital letters and numbers (cf. A, B, E, S; 2, 3, 8 etc.), I tried my best. This didn't always work, as particular letters naturally need more horizontal space (cf. M, W; N, Q), such that some ended up four or five pixels wide (Though I have created a monospaced version - Simpixel Mono - where I managed to also condense those letters to 3x5).
I then worked on the small letters and eventually the rest of the Latin and even the Greek letters, just for fun. Of course, the less basic letters tend to be larger in size. Emoticons, pictograms and miscellaneous symbols fall into that category too (cf. ½, ⅓, ⅔, ¼, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞, ⅟, etc).
With all that being said, thanks for checking this out!

The main font used by MARENGI Omnisystems in my video game series, "Endless Sea Of Stars". These letterforms can be found engraved into or projected onto practically every piece of MO technology. This script was designed in 2011 to be suitable for printing, logo design, art, and many other purposes. It lacks the constant height which most of my other pixel fonts have, but makes up for it with its bookish appearance.
Unfortunately, replicating the exact design of the antialiased version of this font is impossible, not only on FontStruct, but on all software other than ESOSVM. This is because ESOSVM uses a custom renderer which makes use of proprietary techniques. Marengi HD comes close, but not very.

Another variant on Derpberd, this time with the alphabets condensed to a 3x5 grid while maintaining the constant height. This is made to allow a great density of text in a small space while still being readable and somewhat stylish. Useful for webcomic authors, pixel artists, etc.
This is a clone of DerpberdA little pixel font made with zero experience in less than 15 minutes. Enjoy.
If you think it could help you, I tried to put it under the most liberal license so you can freely use it or edit it for your personal and commercial projects. Don't feel the need to credit me.
Also see my "pixel joy" for a better but slightly bigger pixel font.
