Just an idea I jotted down quickly in the editor...

Font with a "light rays"/stained-glass effect.

Version 0.5

*

A font made for a Terraria mod. It gets its name because parts of it remind me of halberd, partisan, and/or axe heads. I designed this to have the vaguely authoritation look of a Didone as well as a borderline-gaudy look that prevents this from being taken as seriously as other Didones. These changes lent some much-needed character to the prototypical Didone from which this design evolved. The uppercase letters are more heavily ornamented, as if to suggest that they are letters from an illuminated manuscript.

The main texture is a diamond pattern inspired by vent holes in medieval armor. These were often made with a square punch, and help the font look more handmade.

Notes

The wider letters are incised, which seems to lessen their perceived wideness by breaking up the shapes. For me this effect lent a more natural flow to the reading.

The ornamentation rules are complicated and factor in lettershapes, English letter frequency, and the existing design parameters. One thing I can concisely explain is that glyphs which normally look fairly plain are ornamented to such an extent that they make others look plain instead (CGJLT1 among others).

A semi-hollow pattern fill version of Graphene. Made for a friend.

An experimental pattern-fill design. Check it out at 2x Pixel size!

Supports Dutch, English, and German at present.

A more patterned version of Jungle High. This will be used for the title screen text.

It also gives me a bit of a "casino" feeling with its diamond pattern and ornate appearance.

Font for the second remake of Jungle High, which was one of my first games. Originally for RPG Maker 2000, the game was later ported to Game Maker Studio for inclusion in Seven Candles Trilogy and is now being remade for the second time as a standalone game in a custom engine. This font was inspired by the original game's art (which I created) and will be used in the second remake.

This font makes me think of leaves and cabochon gems, both of which figure prominently in the games. Its slightly plantlike appearance makes it a good companion font for Goud, Junglira, or even Sahuagin.

A design based on waffles and cheap lawnchairs - you know, the ones with woven plastic stretched over a tubular frame. "Awful Waffle" is a colloquial nickname for Waffle House.

Like many of my fonts, I'm just doodling and publishing this one to get the idea down. Maybe I'll continue it later.

A multiline pattern-fill design that looks like fish scales. It is a very functional multifont, especially at smaller sizes.

The spurs, stems, and line motion add subtle detail to help identify each letter. Additionally, some custom bricks are experimentally combined with the macaroni bricks to preserve the pattern while also forming the curves.

A Quartzthrone variant that looks like fancy upholstered furniture (or cactus heartwood).

Just a doodle. Work in progress.

An inverted alternate version of Spiderling that's glitch-free... for now, at least!

I think this doesn't look nearly as spider-like as the original... your mileage may vary...

A sunburst pattern was converted to negative space, resulting in little spiders!

A polygonal font which uses an optical illusion to appear round!

Version 1.1

A fusion of art deco- and Navajo-style design. Well, many civilizations used a square zigzag pattern such as this, but "Navajo" always comes first to mind when I look at this design.

Halftone patterns on a square grid. Gives me a "crime lab" feeling for some reason. Maybe it's the resemblance to frosted glass...

Embellished/pattern-filled Technokratz:

"A futuristic attempt at 'insular' English. The main design rule was 'make it bend where it shouldn't'. This could symbolize some cyber-dystopia-lord-dude's desire to stop at nothing, or something."

This design inserts a dot into every empty grid square. Off-grid empty squares don't count - there must be an utterly empty space of 1 square's size ON the grid. The dotting further imparts a unique identity to every letter.

Shall I continue this one? Let me know. :D

DANGER: ENTERING DIAGONAL ZONE! Unless you're a glyph. Then you only get to use 90-degree angles!

(Use _ for empty space.)

Another experiment. I made a grid out of the pinwheel shapes, then started drawing on it. Not sure why the bugged glyph count... hope nothing goes wrong...

Try viewing at 2x Pixel size to see how it is intended to look!

Type one of `|\^[] then a letter to texture the background as well!

Type _ to create the blank pattern between letters.

Original size: 51pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Design Rules:

1. Alphabetic glyphs must fill the pinwheel grid space as much as possible.

2. The pinwheels must not touch any letter's perimeter line. Nor must they deviate from their formation, except when being deleted to make room for the perimeter lines.

3. 90-degree angles only.
