This font displays each character as a seven segment representation of the binary value of the character according to the GSM 7-bit alphabet. The commercial at (@) has been swapped with the space as I don't know how I could have a blank character that isn't space. I put the escape character in place of the reverse solidus (\), and I put the carriage return and line feed characters in the place of the left and right square brackets respectively, as these characters are not represented in fonts.
This is a cloneBase ASCII plane from the character generator ROM of the ST7036 LCD controller, built as a fixed pitch font. This is missing the characters mapped on 0x00 through 0x1f, the first half of which could be user-defined characters loaded in RAM at run time, and hence really difficult to define in a font. I've also left off the katakana characters mapped from 0x80 to 0xFF, as I don't need them for my current requirement.
All charcters are 5x7 dots in a 6x8 dot character cell. All 6x8 dots are implemented on the panel, and the panels typically provide blank columns and rows between character cells, so I'm not entierly sure why the standard ROM image doesn't ever use the 6th column or 8th row. To mark the cell boundaries, I've included tick marks in each corner where that pixel is blank. If no extra leading or tracking is applied, those ticks will abut.
I've defined all of the obvious space characters to be blank, and also defined the Unicode NOT SIGN (U+00AC) as a blank to make it easier to draw screen images.
I was making some new bricks to add to Brick Basket when the idea of a segmented display made from composites occurred to me. The result is this experimental 25-segment display.
This achieves some interesting "double line"/"folded line" effects. It also gets some pecuilar distortions at smaller sizes.

Experimental 49-segment display.
In making and studying other segmented displays, I noticed they tended to have strong-looking right angled lines but weak-looking diagonals. This is my attempt to make a design where both styles of lines look more appealing and join together more solidly.
Experimental 37-segment display. Space pirates met crystalline aliens, their children made a segmented display, and this is it.
Now with lowercase!

Pixelated demake of Nirvanite Fossil. It introduces more size variation than its predecessors, and proves even harder to read. The size variation was necessary to prevent these sprites from being too large and to make them more unique from the glyphs in Nirvanite Fossil.
Original size: 25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
ELEKTRON AR-LCD 2_5×8 - Re-creation of the 6×6 dot matrix font that is used in the "Winstar WG12232A" 122×32 graphic LCD display module on the "Analog Rytm" drum machine by Elektron
====================================================
I used filters to mimic the original module's dot size and dot pitch:
Horizontal brick size:0,89
Vertical brick size: 0,91
Horizontal grid scale:0,8
Vertical grid scale:0,94
====================================================
This is just one of the fonts that is used in the "Analog Rytm", there is number of different font size and designs used throughout the device's OS. Used together to create clear hierarchy and structure in the individual components.
The other fonts:
ELEKTRON AR-LCD 1_6×6
ELEKTRON AR-LCD 3_6×6
Enjoy
