While recreating/revising one of my very first fontstructions – April 2008’s Asgard (second to last one) – I realized it was going to take something more drastic still than switching to 2x2 filter settings to realize my dream of a harmonized U&lc set.
The original’s lowercase had several compelling and unique features (at the time), the uppercase worked well enough in all caps display settings...but they very rarely sat comfortably together. The answer couldn’t have been more simple: since the caps (which surprisingly came first...or does this just reveal my noobishness at the time?) are rather narrow, the lowercase itself needed to follow a more logically elongated model.
Here the flexibility of 2x2 filters kicks into high gear as the original design’s lc is tweaked by half a brick extra height to bring about a more righteously rockin’ family.
(Asgard 1.x plateaued at 829 characters, so – as always – more to come...)
This is a slightly edited version of JWBstur42's Chozo Sleek ,
with updated Basic Latin symbols based on Twitter user @TorvusBolt's
research of the Chozo Alphabet from Metroid Dread, along with some
minor customization to the Roman Numerals and symbols.
This is a clone of Chozo SleekRecreation of the pixel font from Ancient's "Beyond Oasis" (aka "The Story of Thor", 1994) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Beyond Oasis (Sega Mega Drive)This font makes use of the most ancient forms of each of our capital English letters. Glyphs that would have been repeated because of shared origins have been given alternate forms of the original glyph to enable differentiation. The question and exclamation mark originate with Latin, written with two letters vertically, and in this version are written the same way but with the original forms of the letters. The rest of the punctuation comes from Greek origins or is made to look similar. The following website can act as a key for the meaning of each letter: http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/3_al.html
Recreation of the small pixel font from Quintet/Ancient/Enix's "Slapstick" (1994) on the SNES.
Note that the western release, "Robotrek", uses a different (and much blander/classic 8 bit) font.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
