A quirky Pseudostencil design with a central horizontal slot going through it. The "slot" is 1 brick tall for lowercase and 2 for uppercase, and becomes a vertical slot for numerals and certain symbols.
This is named for the cowboy and lasagna emojis. These were repeatedly added to then removed from several popular chat clients and websites. Changing emoji standardization or government conspiracy? YOU DECIDE.
By request, a semimodular font which looks like a casual interpretation of "General Failure". This is also more condensed and more Pixel Optimized than its predecessor. It makes me think "fire station in a cartoon".
It uses a technique which folds some slabs in, which prevents slabs from altering the heights of letters - but slabs are still allowed to alter width to some extent. The slabs which do this are incorporated into glyphs' structures to such an extent that they are integral parts of the linework.
This could be kerned more closely, but like me, the requestor uses software which doesn't support kerning. Consider the spacing as part of the desired quirkiness.
A vaguely Courierlike OSD (Onscreen Display) font which tries its best to be casual. The name is inspired by the old computer joke: "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?"
No filters or faux-beziers, just stock bricks and a bit of stacking/nudging!

More about the design:
It started as a doodle and an attempt to make a smooth, low-resolution, low-poly font, and then it became a Courierlike. I have other fonts that tried to do polygonal round shapes before this (such as Cartoon Riot) but this design is my first real success in this area.
Initially, I made the angled glyphs before the round ones. I didn't want to change the angled ones, so glyphs like C, O, and Q became a bit wider than they are tall. I'm quite fond of this, because in most designs these glyphs tend to have a tall and narrow character. I think the mildly squat look of this font makes it cuter and gives it more personality.
A lot of glyphs were altered in specific ways to look more like metal type, especially anything with diacritics which touch the letters themselves. Other glyphs were altered specifically to be interpretable at small size. I also use angled contours and actual round bricks alongside each other within the same glyphs, another technique which is geared toward style and interpretability at small size.
This font came with many new challenges and an array of new techniques had to be designed. Loops were an insurmountable challenge because of the low resolution and heavy line weight, so I drew rounded areas to suggest them. You can see it on letters like Greek γ, ζ, and ξ.

Version 1.5
*
3x3 slab serif. This is based on Wallerton, Anachronistic Gunslinger, an IRC-based "TV show" which I used to write and produce. All the characters in the show were my AIs pretending they were cowboys.
Well, I managed to successfully produce a lowercase for this one!
Recommended: Use with kerning.
Version 1.5
*
Experimental slab-serif. The added height from the serifs is quantized so that the serifs, rather than the normal lines, determine a glyph's geometry.
It reminds me of the Wild West and the old cartoon "The Jetsons" at the same time. It uses two kinds of serifs: normal slabs and "hangover" serifs. The hangovers are the ones that look like overhangs. Is there another name for them? I don't know.
This font is set to appear in several games at once! I'm not the developer of any of them! WOO
Despite what you may have heard, a "hoedown" is just a party.
Stormy was inspired by a font used often by the Sioux Falls Storm (working on it's Tenth National Indoor Football League Championship). This one is not based on their logo, but the font and numbers used on some of the jerseys the team wears.

I started off trying to do my own geometric font in the same sort of style as United Sans, and before I knew it, it had gone all futuristic. Or, 'what 80s Japan thought now would be like', at least. Still, I liked the direction it was going, so I ran with it.
It's a fair bit larger than my other fonts. Maybe it'll now display decently in my Photoshop.
