This is a Sans Serif display font that is based on the game "EarthBound" for Super NES. It has Latin, and soon Asian characters for overseas font lovers. And it's wonderful to use it as a GUI! If you are an RPG fan, it's worth a shot!
[2025.02.10] Added the "00 cents" symbol, mapped to the Infinity symbol (∞). Added some more glyphs in More Latin.
[2025.01.24] Added Extended Latin A and Japanese Hiragana & Katakana character sets, adjusted accents and spacing, updated description and name, and other small fixes and improvements.

Extremely accurate and faithful recreation of the dialogue font from the SNES game EarthBound (SFC: Mother 2) with proper design and spacing.
Recreation of the main monospaced pixel font from Ape Inc./Hal Laboratory's "Mother 2: Gīgu no Gyakushū" ("MOTHER2ギーグの逆襲", 1994) on the Super Famicom/SNES.
This is notably different from the proportional font used in the western release, EarthBound.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters.
Note the superscript double zeroes have been mapped to the em dash (U+2015).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the main proportional pixel font from Ape Inc./Hal Laboratory's "EarthBound" (1994) on the SNES.
Note the superscript double zeroes have been mapped to "horizontal ellipsis" (U+2026).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is an expansion of the GUI/Menu font used in the 16-bit Earthbound games (Earthbound; Mother 3). This is usually referred to as the Apple Kid font, according to EarthBound Central.
The expansion is based off of Noto Sans by Google, as the font contains a majority of the Unicode glyphs, some of which are shown as □ in the FontStructor and many other fonts; that means that there are glyphs hiding in those □'s!
4/30/2024: EMOJI IS NOW IN BETA! I am now a FontStruct Patron, so I can add color to my font. While the main font is monochrome, I will be adding some EarthBound-themed emojis (limited to 8 colors)! Stay tuned!
6/16/2024: Emoji is now on hiatus until the newer more-supported color font system rolls out to all Patrons. SVG Fonts don't work on Windows 10 unfortunately and don't have much support outside of Adobe, Sketch and some browsers.
Color font can be experimented with: https://stickychannel-92.com/files/fonts/mother-of-onett.svg.ttf.
1:1 pixel size is 11 or 12 size font.
The majority of all Unicode glyphs will be added soon.
Here are some things I may need help with:
1. Arabic. Normally, characters are joined like connected lines, and this font does not do that. If someone can give advice on replicating that, let me know!
Currently a work in progress. Expect some changes here and there occasionally.
I used Tile Molester (I didn't name it that way!) and extracted the Earthbound and Mother 2 font (English ROM and Japanese ROM) that was used in the game's menu and tried to combine and insert them here myself. (I used the Earthbound's Latin instead of Mother 2's bolder one, because most recognize it that way)
I've added a few hundred more glyphs to it, hoping this may come in handy for some fans out there. ^^ I'll add more languages (maybe use all the glyphs available) if you request it, otherwise, I'll only leave it at 878 glyphs. ;D
This font includes:
- Basic Latin
- More Latin
- Extended Latin A
- Extended Latin B
- Katakana
- Hiragana
- Greek and Coptic
To reference the game a little more... Katakana Middle Dot, More Latin's Middle Dot, and More Latin's Bullet are actually the middle dots that you see in the Japanese and English character naming screen, respectively. ^^
I don't have status conditions and the battle font in here, because it's pretty much its own font and I honestly can't find it in the game's file for some reason... (no clue what settings to use see those)
