Binary... it holds the world together. Literally. Without it none of our computers or mobile phones would even work!! This font uses 8-bit binary technology, but takes all those pesky 1's and 0's and turns that long string of numbers in to one symbol! Now you can send messages to all your friends without anyone else (or sometimes even them) knowing what you're talking about!
And if you're really, really boring, and have a some knowledge of 8-bit ASCII binary, why not give a go at understanding how I did it?
My email address is:

I'll be interested to hear from anyone who cracks it (or at least manages to understand how it works).

This is my first font, I made it because I got tired of going back and forth copying and pasteing from a binary converter. Every letter is accurate, if you find one that is not please leave a comment.

Just a simple font based on standard 8b binary codes for each character

8-bit ASCII arranged like peas in a pod, read top->bottom rather than left->right. I made sure each character is accurate to its unique ASCII code.
I know it's not practical, but I thought it would be a neat project! I welcome suggestions for my fonts!

This font is based on a 2 column, 3 row binary group. The circle means 0, the square means 1. The top left is least significat, bottom right is most significant. All the previous circles must be squares before the next one becomes a square. When that next one becomes a square, all previous ones go back to being a circle.

Simple font showing each character as a collection of eight dots that can be on or off, separated by a vertical bar to reduce ambiguity. Scales down to a 6x8 block. The numbers are based on the ASCII character set.

Clone of Braille (Basic). I swapped the hollow circles for small dots.
Special characters: There are no capital letters in Braille. Instead, there is a symbol for "capital letter follows," which I have placed in the "at" (@) symbol. The "number follows" symbol is usually placed in the space for the "number" symbol (#), so I've followed that convention. In addition, I have copied the symbol for each letter into both the upper and lower case spaces, to make it easier to type something up (or select an existing text file) and switch the font to Braille (Basic) Alternate.

The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821.
Mew Wins' Morse Code Alphabet (International) inspired me to make a Braille FontStruction. I have only drawn the basic, or Grade 1, version of the Braille alphabet here. (There is a contracted version of Braille, known as Grade 2, and another version which uses an 8 dot grid. In addition, there are special Braille characters for accented letters, but they are not all standardized, so for now I have stayed away from them.)
