This is a recreation of a raster font from a real Pac-Man machine with modified symbols. Currently, it has American and some European characters. This is good enough for a retro feel, useful for gaming and might be used for personal or commercial purposes. Translated to an LED display font!
This is a clone of Namco Arcade RasterThis is an enhanced version of the retro font you see on old games. Still WIP. The squares are just placeholders and will be removed shortly. I hope to make this have more characters than any other fonts in the future (this might take a while). This font can be used in retro-style games, computer graphics, or anything else you can imagine. This font is pixelated, meaning it is lightweight and easy to port to many devices.
This is a clone of Ndless Default FontTypeface based on the on-screen elements of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. The capitals and numerals were created by exactly copying the pixels of sprites from the game. All other glyphs were designed by me.
This is a cloneFont 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.!

A 8x8 monospaced Pixel Font with double-wide horizontal Pixels to fit in a C64 Koala Painter Image with only 160x200 Resolution in Multicolor Mode. You can paint a 320x200 image, draw the text on it and convert it to C64 Koala Format using Project One without distortions (hint: use font size 8px and Height: 85% in Photoshop).
It was very hard to make the chars with so few pixels that some characters didn't make sense to create. The font fits perfectly in the 8x8 color matrix of the C64, too.

A tall thin stroked Art Deco typeface experiment.
I tried to create pretty simple but ellegant geometric letterforms. It is inspired by the later 70's Art Deco Streamline period.
The character set is far from complete for now, kerning done only for a few pairs and overall balance therefor is still quite poor.
--------- UPDATE v2.0 ---------
I completed much of the basic latin with mix-caps alternative glyphs and a lot more, along the way the whole project also kind of turned into a attempt to construct very thin (1/8th grid unit) sloping strokes and asymmetric curves.
I also decided to make this clonable for educational purpose to everyone interrested in making asymmetric curves with very little compromise to allignment of the constructed curving strokes. It's not a tool, but rather a little insight into how I did this. So the custom brick pallet is messy. Another important thing is, To fully understand what is going on under the hood of this fontstruction some knowledge about resizing bricks by way of composites is required. Because the location of the brick inside of the composite bricks grid can be very important upon rotation and nudging!!!
filter for brick size should remain at 2:2 in order to make propper allignement of the bricks.
Once more,
Enjoy!

This is a clone of MS Micro~IshSort of a revival of the geometric letters seen on a 1916 Dutch litho to paper poster for Wm H. Müller & Co.'s Batavier-lijn passenger service Rotterdam-London. The Batavier Line was the oldest steam shipping line in the Netherlands. The line existed from 1830-1960.
The litho design was originally done by Bart van der Leck (1876 - 1958).
The fontstruction is a Faux Bezier approach, so the design grid was huge. Making it a lot of work and hard to ballance with the editors kerning feature.
I made a couple of small changes as compared to the original, most significant is the upscaled Ampersand.
I completed the alphabet plus numerals and some punctuations.
There are still a small number of spacing issues that needs to be solved.
More characters will follow soon.
Sort of revival of the retro sci-fi letters used by the Atlantic Toy Company for their "Galaxy Serie". A science fiction themed toy line that was manifactured from 1978 to the early 1980s.
I had to make a couple of compromises on some glyphs due to FS limitations, so the fontstruction isn't 100% accurate, but i'd say still very recognizable.
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.

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!
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.
