Inspired by raster scanning & horizontal synchronization for image & video display.

Squared fat retro sci-fi display typeface

Confidento is a typeface based and styled on the word Confident, aiming to produce a type which uses features that are strong and bold. One of the main characteristics I have aimed to encorporate throughout this process is the use of a balanced type design, enabling the design to not become too heavy. I achieved this through the means of having large variation in width across different aspects of the text. 

Loosely based on Modern Vision and Ryo Fukui's Scenery album cover.

A display typeface that revisits the classic Randstad alphabet originally designed by Ben Bos in 1969 working at Total Design. Some changes have been made to a number of characters and letter spacing in order to improve the overal ballance and legibility. In other words, more a semi-recap rahter than a exact replica.

Recap of a retro computer type lettering that appeared throughout the 70's and 80's as the word "data" on various brochures, envelopes and memo's by Dutch multinational human resource consulting firm Randstad.  Most of which I guess were designed by Ben Bos.

Original font made by Qimplef at https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/465125/rct2.
I simply added more characters.

Experimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!

The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.

"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

Design Rules:

1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.

2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.

3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "LED Storm" (1988) on the Amiga (and Atari ST).

Gameplay-wise, this is a port of "LED Storm Rally 2011", rather than the more common "LED Storm" (aka "Mad Gear", 1988) arcade machine.

Only the characters used in the game have been included.

Has latin with accents

Kubasta is a monospaced pixel font based on a 5 × 7 grid. It was designed with readability in mind, the glyphs are easily distinguishable from one another and legible even in small sizes. It’s perfectly applicable for retro style interfaces and games.

An earlier version was created with BitFontMaker2 in 2014 and published on GitHub.

Kubasta was used in Beat Cop by Pixel Crow.

A pixel rendition of Bolton Sans by designer Paul Lloyd. For a game concept of mine.

This is a redone version, as the original had issues that I couldn't seem to fix. But hey, this time it has more characters!

If you want to use this commercially, I guess I'd suggest getting permission from both of us?

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.

Versioning:

2.6 (19Aug2018) - "bdďđ" were perfected. Space width reduced.

2.5 (20Jul2018) - "IÌÍÎÏø" were perfected and massive kerning work began.

2.4 (15Jul2018) - "J" was perfected and several letterwidths were altered.

2.3 (18May2018) - "hnru34679ÀÁÂÃÅÈÉÊÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕØÙÚÛÝÞßàáâãåæçèéêìíîïñòóôõøùúûý" were perfected.

2.2 (17May2018) - ":;gjty%/\ÂÆÊÎÔÛâæêîôû¼½¾" were edited for more consistency and readability.

Enjoy!

My second font.

I will make more requested letters or writting systems :)

-sorry about spacing

Retrofuturism, no sharp corners (except in the percent sign because of the smaller zeroes). Should probably better differentiate S/5... Also first try at Cyrillic.

Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Dizzy III - Fantasy World Dizzy" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum. Note the egg character, mapped to "black circle" (U+25CF). Only the characters present in the game's tile map have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font used in the Sinclair ZX80 (1980). Note that some of the block element characters don't have a modern unicode equivalent, and have therefore been remapped (with the medium shade lower half block at U+2581 and the medium shade upper half block at U+2594). Only the characters present in the computer's character set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font used in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1982). Note the block element characters, set to their equivalent unicode points (U+2596 through to U+259F). Only the characters present in the computer's character set have been included. 

Here's a font that'll stir up memories for every amateur graphic designer around during the mid 1980s:  The main font from Broderbund's Print Shop application.  As typical of my retro-based fonts, with a few exceptions (the curly quotes and inverted question and exclamation marks), this is a straightforward glyph dump taken from the Apple IIgs version (which can be played with on Archive.org here:  <https://archive.org/details/a2gs_Print_Shop_1987_Broderbund>).

Recreation of the pixel font from Imagineering/Arc Developments' "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants" (1991) on 16bit systems (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga, Atari, MS-DOS).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

A very blocky font. I can't see this being used widely, but if you use this, just give attribution to me, and link back to my fontstruct page.
