This is an enhanced version of the retro font you see on old games. Still WIP. The squares are just placeholders and will be removed shortly. I hope to make this have more characters than any other fonts in the future (this might take a while). This font can be used in retro-style games, computer graphics, or anything else you can imagine. This font is pixelated, meaning it is lightweight and easy to port to many devices.
This is a clone of Ndless Default FontJust in case anybody wanted a small, serifed, pixel-sharp font with personality and figure (old-style) numerals, I whipped this up... then overachieved, perhaps. It has full Latin-1 and Latin Extended-A support, extended punctuation, most Greek, and as much Cyrillic as I could justify working on. It also has some Roman numerals, many arrows, and a few other random things.
If anyone out there actually wishes to use this for setting anything with Greek or Cyrillic alphabets, please let me know if I've made any terrible errors or if more characters are desired. I know better than to trust my typographical sense for alphabets I don't use in an actual language context!
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.
LEOPOLD PRO (Serif-Regular) — Modern geometric condensed slab-serif
════════════════════════════════════
This font is the second style instance for the newly launched "Leopold Pro" typeface family, and is kicking off this new family of fonts.
The first one came as a minimalist, geometric sans serif style, this second font adds a serif style variation to the family. Both the "sans-regular" and "serif-regular" styles have identical visual properties for size and weight to allow seamless combination of the two, and as the name already suggests, represent the "Regular" style for the family.
Motivation for this was to craft a slab-serif style for the original geometric letterforms that has strong antique mechanistic qualities to add somewhat of a typewriter characteristic.
The relaxed optical proportion, short unbracketed serifs and open spacing results in clean and pleasant to look at text. Largely thanks to these properties it is still relatively legible in terms of a slab-serif style.
The other style can be found here:
LEOPOLD PRO (Sans-Regular)
Two additional extra "Light" and "Bold" weight classess are also currently in development, both remain works in progress for now, but are expected to be included in the future.
I hope y'all like it so far,
Cheers

This is a cloneXATURATE - Heavy weight Egyptian slab
══════════════════════════════════════
Here is another throwback of my original older works, now refurbished and expanded into a complete font that includes multilingual support.
As part of the recent endeavours into my older FontStruct works, digging for the forgotten and lost potential gems, I stumbled upon this Egyptian style Slab-Serif, called 'XATURATE'.
This classic looking heavy weight Slab-Serif design was left rather inconsistent and pretty incomplete. I don't remember why I abandoned
this back then, since this letterforms had great potential. They just needed a healthy fresh perspective and a little bit of extra love to make them shine after all.
──────────────────────────────────────
• polished shape and form
• Rebalenced full character set
• Added multilingual support
• Included many symbols & punctuations
• Overhauled entire metrics
• Partial kerning (WIP)
──────────────────────────────────────
I couldn't be more happy with the final result,
Let me know what you think...
Cheers
MODERN TYPEWRITER - Typewriter style Slab-Serif
============================================
The idea was do a simple, clean and solid looking design that mimics the looks of a classic typewriter style typeface used for form fill writing style.
The rectangular shaped concept was carefully chosen to provide this nice mechanical looking forms, and to further enhance the technical style concept of this design.
UNION WEST (Text) ― Classic Wood Type inspired slab serif
═══════════════════════════════════
This is the 'Text'(light weight) version for the "Union West" typeface family
═══════════════════════════════════
[About the "Union West" typeface]
The idea was to craft a typeface that resembles a vintage wood block lettering style. The design is a sturdy looking geometric form with small Wedged slab serifs, straight beak terminals. It comes with two weight versions, 'Display' and 'Text'. The Display version is a bold style that has medium weight contrast and aims for headline use, the Text version is a thin style with only mild weight contrast that is heavily condensed and aims for body copy use.

➥ More characters will be added within the following days.

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.
