Welcome to 3x3, a simple and funny font made with the 3x3 grid limit!

Version 2

Mini Font

Recreation of the 3Text, designed by Connor Halford for PICO-8.

a mini version of roundun.

A 3x3 font that looks similar to most other 3x3 fonts on this website.

My smallest cursive font.

A font limited to a 3x3 grid. It can be read with some practice. Cool for semi-readable runes in pixel-style games. Each alphabet character maps to another alphabet character when rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

WIP

All caps geometric gothic sans-serif project. Its a semi bold display design that looks a little like those early grotesque types.

The uppercase O has a distinctive circular shape and has a unusual 3x3 grid square dimension. A number of glyphs still need modifications to achieve better solutions. Also is the character set far from complete yet.

I hope you like it so far

nostalgia

basic latin

upper, numbers 3x4 (N, Q 4x4)

lower 3x3 (q 3x_4)

no symbols exceed 4x4 except for {  |  }

all letters appear caps

credit is appreciated ♥

An alternate, more asymmetrical & stylized Madmouse.

This could be considered an avantgarde spurless or mixed-spur design. Some letters have spurs and some don't. This is entirely dependent on the diagonal lines, which were placed so that they would slant up and to the right. "s27" are obvious exceptions.

An even smaller and more stylized take on Madcat/Madkitten. It isn't really a Decolike anymore, but it is readable at smaller sizes than almost all my other designs!

This uses some compression/truncation tricks to fit glyphs into a smaller grid. Those tricks are usually used in pixel designs (such as Chlorophyte) but I think they worked out well here, too!

Fyromrese style pseudorunic Latin.

tried to make a 3x3 pixel font. used triangles for some characters to make them clearer.

Version 1.2: Made "1" look cooler.

By request, avantgarde Roman text in 3x3. Made for a friend's musical project!

someday i'm going to play a minecraft but using this font for my signs and stuff (the in-game font is probably gonna be bigger and therefore better than this)

the dots are inside the shapes because c o m p a c t n e s s

i used dotted 1st-grids (and also the thing after z) for the numbers because that seems to be the least controversial option

i also went ahead and added the rest of basic latin (barely) because that seemed like a reasonable idea

the uppercase letters have a different bit chipped away which sometimes leads to large spacing so don't use those ok

btw look it says no u in the preview haha

naq (never asked questions)

Q: why did you do this thing that way

A: because 3x3

Trying this style out. The name comes from a monster in the game NetHack.

Another of my many doodles. Fun to make!

Finally, a design where all the diacritics blend in and look natural!

A 3x3 design with leaf-shaped glyphs. Kinda looks like a weirder, high-res version of "Portable Vengeance" at small sizes.

An attempt to make the cleanest-looking headliner possible in 3x3.

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

MOS 2018

MOS 2018 /moʊz twɛntɪ eɪtin/ is a minimalistic, designy font aiming to simplify English lowercase letterforms as much as possible while keeping them recognizable to some degree, using a 3x3 grid.

Version 1.5

*

3x3 slab serif. This is based on Wallerton, Anachronistic Gunslinger, an IRC-based "TV show" which I used to write and produce. All the characters in the show were my AIs pretending they were cowboys.

Well, I managed to successfully produce a lowercase for this one!

Recommended: Use with kerning.

3x3 cipher, based on version 0.3 of "Micromaze". It uses its own form of binary notation for the numerals, wherein the upper-right 4 pixels play the role of the 1, 2, 4, and 8.

This is the smallest font in which I was able to give a unique symbol to every glyph (excluding the lower/upper case, which look the same). It reads sort of like Pigpen Cipher, but is more densely written.

Since MMC is obscure and of constant width/height, it serves many "gibberish" and "placeholder text" purposes in addition to being a modestly strong cipher.

Original size: 2pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

An uncircled version of Misplaced Baubles.

Most characters have the same height so that they can be used alongside Misplaced Baubles and other fonts of mine.

A 3x3 microfont from the Virtual Gremlin, an old game of mine. This is designed to look tiny and indistinct. Useful when writing jargon, placeholder text, or technobabble (the kind of meaningless information you'd write when drawing a newspaper or computer terminal).

VERSION HISTORY:

08 Feb 2018 - v1.0 declared finished.

While creating this font, I had 2 tasks:
1. The font must be a minimum size
2. The font should be visually understandable

In the end, I came to the conclusion that 3x3 pixels is what I need.
Unlike some other fonts, I have a true size of 3x3, not a pseudo, sacrificing the classical appearance of some letters and numbers.

In some programs ("Notepad" for example) there is no possibility to adjust the line spacing, so you will have to skip the line so that it does not merge with the previous one...

I hope you will enjoy ;)

Size: 3x3 (square)

Making a pixel font series. I tried to make the smallest font posible and it looks ok, especially when viewed at smallest size.

Things that don't look good: (G, 8, @, ß, €, #, %)

- G (upper + lower case) looks like a weird C

- 8, @ are just black squares

- ß, €, #, % just don't resemble (Hey! At least I tried!)
