DOTTITI EXTRA LIGHT REVERSE : Having - like many designers - looked out for decent 3x3 typefaces, I decided to try my own as each existing version had some flaws or didn't completely follow the rules. The slight difference here is that circles are used, giving more readability to some characters. I completely restricted the design to the 3x3 grid meaning some characters are pretty abstract, BUT they follow the rule! #dottiti #zissdesign

This is a cloneSize: 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!)
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.
This is a clone of MadmouseAn 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!
This is a cloneAnother of my many doodles. Fun to make!
Finally, a design where all the diacritics blend in and look natural!
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.
An attempt to make the cleanest-looking headliner possible in 3x3.
Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

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.

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).
