Updates:
Added Kana Extended and Kanbun
Recreation of the pixel font from the japanese release of Nintendo's "Zelda no Densetsu: Yume o Miru Shima" (aka "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening", 1993) on the Game Boy.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Note that in the original, the "?" and "!" feature very subtle antialiasing. This has been "flattened" for this recreation.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
A simple remake of my original Brixel, but made to be monospace and 8x8
(-Currently being extended-)
a pixelated unicode font that can be read at small sizes.
14 sept '22, 17:47:11 hkt / massive update. added coptic, spacing modifier letters and improved readability.
Some time after I decided to unleash Pixelbabania VI Deluxe onto the world, I deemed it appropriate to also create a light version to go alongside it. Had a good bit of fun making sure things looked right with this font, which also explains why I decided to fix its sister font while I was at it.
Here it is, at last. And just in time for the start of a new season, wherever in the world you all are.
4/12/2023 : Fixed up a few more glyphs of Box Drawing to make them work proper with their fellow glyphs.
Hello everyone! This is a font based off of the Casio fx-ES Series Calculator text. I also included Hiragana and Katakana, though they're difficult. Cyrillic is slightly harder, but easy. Alternates are in Private Use Area!
Recreation of the pixel font from Data East's bizarre "Trio the Punch - Never Forget Me..." (1990). Includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana. Only the character present in the game's tile set have been included.

This is a clone of Predator NESInspired by DOS fonts. Conforms to an 8x14 monospace. Contains box drawing characters along with a lot of other random characters. I will continue to add more over time. Feel free to request a block if you really need it. If you find any errors or have suggestions, let me know those as well!
I took a look at the very first font I published and looking back at it now, I couldn't help but think I could have done better and gone much further with it. Having learned a few things along the way when I was working on the light version of Pixelbabania, I decided to invest some time into working on a much improved version of Pixelbabania VI, while once again following a self-imposed limitation. This time, I decided to go with 6x9 (with some exceptions) to allow a bit more wriggle room and to make characters with accents much nicer, and even decided to change up some of the characters to improve their look. Not only this, I decided I'd try and see if it was possible to add more characters from other sets and thus far, it had gone quite nicely.
After so much time on and off, now I share with you the fruits of my labor and love.
Note: I have done what I could to get N'ko and to a lesser extent Adlam to play nice; unfortunately I could not get the tone marks to actually just go above or below the characters properly, therefore they will take residence right next to the character, taking up another space. Apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who type in those languages.
04/12/23 : Fixed up a few more glyphs in Box Drawing to make them look and work proper with the others.
Recreation of the pixel font from Capcom's "Willow" (1989) on the NES.
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.
There was no glyphs latin on Patrick H. Lauke Redux's font so go check it out: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1644314/akumajo-densetsu-nes
I used to clone them, so I can help Patrick Lauke to complete this font with letters on it.
This is a clone of Akumajō Densetsu (NES)Presenting to you... BANDAI JAPANESE! Home of the font branch!
The font includes a complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. Even though I managed to see Famicom Jump by NBABABAFONTNES, and I created this one even more super duper better! Since I don't have time to make Hiragana Fonts and Katakana fonts! Here are the similarities to this font: Dragonball 3: Gokuuden, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu, Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsu Hen, Devilman, Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu and Dragon Ball: Shenlong no Nazo (or in Translated: Dragon Ball: Mystery of Shenlong), and Famicom Jump: Eiyuu Retsuden, (except Devilman for Namco).
I'd like to say I branching on the video game font because all of the bandai games are japanese, so I did like to recommed this font to all of you for the best luck, similar to MMRock9.
The "Bandai Japanese" Font was created on Thursday, 19 January, and finished on Monday, February 13.
Download this font so you can see this wonderful font typing!
Constructed script for a conlang (5x5 version). Katakana keyboard setting required to use.
人工文字は人工言語を為(5x5バージョン)。カタカナキーボード設定は所要に使う。
Pretty much abandoned currently. Do with whatever you will.
Just please give credit, lest the effort go in vein.
Recreation of the primary pixel font from Konami's "Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun" (1990) on the Nintendo Famicom. It includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters.
Note that in the game, the dakuten and handakuten are rendered as a character on the preceding line, while this recreation includes characters with these diacritics in the correct position in the correct character codepoints themselves - for this reason, the characters themselves are taller than 8 pixels.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font found in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 BIOS with a Super CD-ROM². It appears to be unused, but includes an almost complete set of katakana and hiragana characters. Only the characters found in the BIOS/ROM have been included.
Recreation of the italic pixel font from Capcom's "Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara" (1996). This font is very sparingly used in the game - apparently, just for the character names, SP/HP counters, and (partially at least) the inventory ring interface.
This font includes a near complete set of hiragana and katakana characters, as well as a wide range of special characters (such as a full set of zodiac symbols).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Data East's "Silent Debuggers" (1991) on the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.
This font contains an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, and positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Enix's "Dragon Quest" (1986) on the NES, later released in North America as "Dragon Warrior" (1989) (but with a different main font, obviously).
In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten for the hiragana and katakana are separate tiles (with one exception), and positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Apart from these changes, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the japanese release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Compared to the european/north american release, the alphanumeric and punctuation characters are all shifted by one pixel to the left, and one pixel down. The "U" is also different, and the font lacks a lowercase.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Shining Force (Small)Recreation of the pixel font from Compile/Irem's "The Guardian Legend" (aka "Guardic Gaiden", 1988) on the Nintendo Famicom / NES. It combines the characters from the North American/European release and the original Japanese one.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Similarly, in the password entry screen the game includes various characters with an umlaut/diaeresis, which are rendered as a separate tile in the preceding line. In this recreation, these have also been pre-combined. The game itself also uses some non-standard combinations (such as a "k" with an umlaut) - these have not been included, as they don't map to any standard unicode character. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the numeral "0" in the password entry screen uses a slash. This has been mapped to the "Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke" character (U+00D8).
Beyond this, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
