Is it Ironic that I spent a lot of time making a minimalistic font? Maybe not...
In any case, this is a font I made with a challenge of keeping every character within a 5x5 block size (4x4 blocks for the lowercase letters)
The only character NOT within a 5x5 square is the @ character. It somehow ended up a little wide.
Small 3 pixel font which is probably the smallest you can ever make a font and still be readable (barely). Some of the characters such as S and Z almost look lokercase while one of the characters N is lowercase to differentiate from H and M.
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!)
OK, so I started this back in 2008 (then called "test1") with 4 letters, then forgot this site existed until tonight in 2023. I worked on it some more for a couple of hours and here it is. Missing a few glyphs but I will save those for a later improvement. :) Very beginner-y, because I was just playing around when I started it. But I kind of like it. It's quite readable at tiny sizes and makes me think of some old 1990s Wired Magazine fonts or early blog fonts.
