₫€®¡$¤r¥:©¤₦₡€₧:¤₣:℗®¤_¤₣ I meant : 1. it's not a font because of the number of duplicates; 2. internet search engines believe the contrary (we deserve smarter crawlers); 3. it's an unfinished work (I felt lazy for not designing the filters beforehand - 2x2 grid combinations); 4. I'm unsure about the final license, esp. when I have released a sub-pixel '''''font''''' with the same method.
Sketchy is a pixel/bitmap font with an optimum size of... 44 pixels (if I counted right). I finally finished off the Basic Latin letterset, plus there are a few other marks are included.

All credit to Buro Destruct for their original bitmap design. Except for the &, that one’s mine.
I originally released this in 2008 as an exploration of the optical effect possible using different modules in a simple, gridded bitmap design. Buro Destruct iconic design was an inviting point of departure.
I have recreated/republished this at the request of four who took the inspiration and ran with it.
This is a clone of Med Splode(Work in Progress)
This is a larger variation of my smaller 8-bit Nostalgia series, and assumes 16pt rendering. It's inspired in large part by the computers from my past: the Commodore 64, Atari, and IBM PC. In many ways, this font is closer to the font used for VGA text -- this font is on an 8x16 grid, while the VGA used a 9x16 grid. However, the VGA font has more letters with serifs, while this font avoids that whenever possible (aside from the typical I/i, L/l, J/j). Only a few other glyphs get serifs when they wouldn't otherwise need it to appear reasonably well-kerned.
This font uses an 8x16 pixel grid. The top three rows are reserved for ascenders and diacritics. The bottom four rows are reserved for descenders. This leaves nine rows for the capital forms, and seven rows for the lowercase forms.
Notable glyphs:
- The "A" and "V" is angled a bit more than usual in a font of this type.
- The "B" has a narrower top half in order to offset the fact that the top and bottom are equal height.
- "J" more closely resembles its lowercase form.
- "g" is a double-story form.
- "3", "4", "5", "6", "9" numerals are fairly unique forms
Ethoma is a simple, low-resolution pixel bitmap font, intended to share the industrial, squared visual style seen in Tahoma and MS Sans Serif.
Originally known as Elt. Sistema, Ethoma was designed by Daniel Philip Fox and initially released in May 2017, as a font for personal use which gave the robust results of MS Sans Serif, but avoiding licensing and distribution issues and refining some glyphs for better legibility and crispness. Over time, the font gained incremental changes, for example increasing the roundness of certain glyphs such as the lowercase 'n', eventually forming the present-day version of Ethoma, a highly legible and pixel-optimised bitmap font optimised for any length of body text, without sacrificing the delicious classic look.
Font from the ingame marquee display of Barcade Brawl, a 2015 game by yours truly. This was made to look similar to the system fonts from old arcade boards, PC microsystems, etc. You've probably seen the fonts I'm talking about; they're everywhere and many people refer to them singularly as "the arcade font" or "the NES font".
This is 7x7 with no wasted matrix, but it looks better without monospacing since not every glyph is the same width. It also makes a decent terminal & chat font, at least for those who don't care about the case of the messages they read and write.
Feel free to use this in your games, etc.!

This project has changed my view of type by being patient and to really think about how the typeface will be protrayed in a product. My typeface reminds me of an "old-school" videogame. I had alot of fun with this project because I got familier with the tools in this program very quickly. I hope you enjoy my font, Funky Pixels!

Presenting... Ari-W9500 - a complete pixel font family with multiple weights & styles.
This is basically pixelated Arial. Nothing interesting, really. The font is heavily inspired by the pixelated font used in Microsoft's Windows 95. The project was originally meant to be an improved and revamped version of the popular W95FA pixel font.
With more than 1600 glyphs, the font can support a wide range of languages (primarily supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic).
The alternative glyphs of all the font styles included in the family are stored in the "Braille Patterns" Unicode block.
=================================
Extra context:
For those who are wondering, Ari-W9500 began under construction BEFORE Roguewas even planned. After done publishing Rogue, I just wanted to finish this project up and move on.
=================================
The entirety of the Ari-W9500 font family (6 styles):
• Ari-W9500 Display (Extra-bold)
=================================
Future plans:
Looking forward to adding Hebrew support soon.
Due to technical difficulties, I WILL NOT be making italic versions for the styles.
=================================
If you see any glyphs in the font that's incorrectly designed, please tell me by commenting.
Feel free to clone the project and add additional language support (e.g.: CJK, Thai, Arabic, Devanagari) as you wish.
=================================
Thanks for enjoying this moment with me.
