Simple mostly 4x5 pixel font created from scratch for use in my Dot Matrix Circuit, a Pebble watch watchface posted here
I may tweak/add onto this if needed for personal reference.
Any suggestions, comments?

Collection of text characters, 1976-1981 Fairchild
5x5 / 4x5 / 3x5 US-ASCII valid fonts, 2018-04 dpla
Fairchild derived from the old 7-segment numerics.
Breakthroughs of this 2nd-gen video game console:
. first artificial intelligence (AI) in game,
. first programmable game cartridges (27),
. '8 colors' (in 102x58 out of 128x64 px),
. hold button menu, joystick/paddle controllers.
Today's young home players cannot understand this.

An improved version of Derpberd which remains true to the original style.
It's still very casual-looking and very well suited to comics and pixel art, but it's also more regular and readable than before.
This is a clone of DerpberdReconstruction of a font designed by @kirai_s.
This is the font used in my Scratch projects that use SSEGA OS, SSEGA OS 92, and SSEGA OS CD (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/938150503/ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/938615942/ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/939136020/). It has a lot of characters in a 4x5 bounding box.
By request, a chat/comics font which combines features of "Micro Machina" and "Chlorophyte". I took some other liberties with it as well in order to make it more distinctive (see MSVWacegjmtyz).
This turned out extremely well! It's more open and airy than many of my larger designs, and is pleasant and easy to read even at the original size.
Supports Dutch and English.
A variant of Micro Machina which is made to be more open, more consistent, and simpler in geometry than the original.
Having become accustomed to reading the original Micro Machina, I'm not sure if this version is actually more readable or not. Some might prefer it...

"4x5 numerics with 7 weights and 1 italic a.k.a. WI71"
Not inspired by any other design,
e.g. Abneurone's minimalist pixel experiments
(my very dotted 4x5 version may look like the 7x7
"Deep Low 2" font he made on 2014 and 2017
- which includes a lot of duplicates
but is not limited to the numerics).
