A 7x7 outline design which is made to form solid-looking masses from the glyphs while still allowing the outer perimeters of words to take on some unique shapes.

I started with an omega symbol, then bent and twisted it many times. This is the result. Is Weirdo English my new calling?

Letters sorta behind bars. I had to use a serif style so that each letter had something to protrude down from the bars to help identify it.

Something barcode inspired...

A 7x7 design inspired by bows, arrows, targets, and murder slits.

It seems slightly Art Nouveau to me, although pixel art is not really capable of those same kinds of curves and arches at this scale...

Portable Vengeance in negative. A few glyphs (such as "Q") were truncated for the grid.

Rather than spacing this so the blocks form a continuous reel, as I usually do, I decided to let things be a bit spaced out. This makes the font much better at attracting attention. And, since this is made to show system messages in games and consoles, it works out!

A pirate font, spreading misery and ruin over the face of the webbernet.

Experimental 37-segment display. Space pirates met crystalline aliens, their children made a segmented display, and this is it.

Now with lowercase!

Runic alphabet of the Ormumi, a race of orange-skinned cyclopean humanoids native to several planets in several of my own video games.

A design for Perler bead and other fused bead artists.

These letters are designed to use a small(ish) amount of of beads while still being sturdy enough to make into charms, keychains and such. The letters are on a 7x7 grid and require an average of about 44 beads to make.

I recommend filling in the negative spaces with more beads, but if you fuse both sides, these designs should work fine on their own. I'll test some myself and post images eventually...

My 200th Fontstruction! :^)

This font, especially the "M", has been kicking around in my mind for years. I wanted a design that looked "kinda like a Metroid". Then, I tried to Fontstruct it. That brings us to the present.

(This font has nothing to do with the "Gods Will Be Watching" video game. I just think the name Xenolifer has the right ring to it.)

A design inspired by mineshafts and the wood scaffolds which are built to shore up tunnels in order to prevent them from collapsing.

Lawgivers' font. Vertical members are doubled, horizontal members are not - except when needed to complete vertical members. Overhangs and bends help to make glyphs more distinctive.

Feeling dazzled?

The original logotype font used for Endless Sea of Stars/ESOS, a massive simulation. Designed by me circa 2010.

Since this uses only right angles and has no lone pixels, it's pixel perfect at any size. That's why it's in two collections.

Designed by request.

A blade sliced down through every 4th column of pixels. Only a few glyphs were lucky (or narrow!) enough to escape.

"Guillotine Blade" is also an anagram for "Liable Longitude".

From my game Trap Farmer Brer Brah.

The 21 symbols of the written language used by "Eshira" - terrestrial zooid colonies amalgamated from bacterial, viral, fungal, plant, and animal components. Eshira use this language by secreting an enzyme at the top of their rocky, stromatolite-like structures, dissolving the material to reveal white glyphs. These glyphs are extremely shallow engravings, and material is removed much slower than it is added through metabolism.

Each glyph represents an entire concept, question, plea, or rebuke. The glyph that appears depends on the eshira's environmental conditions and treatment. Intelligent creatures on Planet Fyromr read these glyphs to determine whether the fishing is good, what the weather will be like, and so on.

An eshira only etches one glyph at a time, so these symbols are only ever meant to appear one at a time. All the eshira in a particular place tend to produce the same glyph at low tide.

Font built on a dotted grid. The sort of font you might create with a geoboard.

Just a doodle. Reminds me of typesetter's forms.

Every pixel of the negative space is trying to approach the letters in the positive space. But, they are repelled from the letters by a 1px border. This leads to a look that is not quite filled, not quite grunge, and not quite maze-like. The filled voids seem obviously anomalous, but can only reinforce the forms they attempt to engulf.

"Tacit Affront" is an anagram for "Artifact Font".

Inspired by the symbol ☈. I always thought this was the Retrograde symbol since it appears near the astrological signs in Unicode. So this font was going to be inspired by planetary orbits as well. Once I found out ☈ was in fact the thunderstorm symbol, I decided to stick with the jagged look!

- NOTES -

Use lower case to get Modern Gryzildan and UPPER CASE for Royal Gryzildan. Hold Shift while typing numerals/symbols to get the Royal ones.

These scripts do not canonically appear together on any in-universe writing. Gryzil writing is always written entirely in one script or the other. But, feel free to use this as you wish.

- DESCRIPTION -

This font contains two scripts of the Gryzil, Brer Brah's people, who are from various video games and stories of mine. Gryzil are a sapient bear-people that live on/near beaches in the continent of Skina on planet Fyromr. They have dull greenish fur, can speak, read, write and use tools, walk bipedally, and have beer fermentation chambers for stomachs. They appear in ESOS, Trap Farmer Brer Brah, and Anime Girls vs. The Cavemen.

To a Gryzil, to write something is like roaring it mightily. If it's worth writing it's worth roaring, and if it's worth carving into something, it's worth roaring out over the horizons for ALL TIME. This is true even of writing in the sand. Therefore we can consider the "." as a "!". In fact . and its counterpart > are the only punctuation symbols.

The written language of these creatures is designed to be without subtlety. Most of the subtlety of Gryzil communication is gestural. For instance, quotations do not exist in Gryzil writing. There can be a record that someone said something, but only when a Gryzil who heard it firsthand speaks of it is there understood to be a quotation - the rest is simply hearsay.

Royal Gryzildan has been in use for at least 8,000 Fyromr years. Modern Gryzildan, the last major reformation, is about 1,100 Fyromr years old.

This font is made as an attempt to anglicize the Gryzildan language - not to write it natively. Hence, it has some resemblance to Latin. But in fact these symbols all represent different gestures as well as different rasping, stamping, growling, and ingressive sounds which are unknown within Earth humans' formalized language studies. Nonetheless, you can write authentic Gryzildan with this. Read the Chalcedony-Bound Manual found in any of the games in which Gryzildan is used. In time perhaps I'll make a guide for posting here as well.

I made a blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...

A font which appears in "Defender/Joust" (1995) on Game Boy. This font is complete within the ROM, so only the original characters are included.

This font is used for Defender's menus and gameplay.

The placement of glyphs within the individual 8x8 tiles suggests that this font is meant to be monospaced. I've squinted at this one long enough... it looks right to me! :D

Recreation of a font from "Proxima", a 2000 public-domain homebrew SHMUP game by Alan Obee for Game Boy Color. This font is used on the title screen and high-score screens (though the highscore version is built of tiles and looks much more detailed).

.#$!? are inventions - not present in the original font, but useful nonetheless.
