Font from the ingame marquee display of Barcade Brawl, a 2015 game by yours truly. This was made to look similar to the system fonts from old arcade boards, PC microsystems, etc. You've probably seen the fonts I'm talking about; they're everywhere and many people refer to them singularly as "the arcade font" or "the NES font".

This is 7x7 with no wasted matrix, but it looks better without monospacing since not every glyph is the same width. It also makes a decent terminal & chat font, at least for those who don't care about the case of the messages they read and write.

Feel free to use this in your games, etc.!

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

Just a doodle... Inspired by @, of course!

This makes me think of icons/dingbats and ASCII roguelikes.

Original size: 6.75pt

A stemless and spurless Eviolite. It has a "utilitarian" look which I enjoy.

An alternate, more asymmetrical & stylized Madmouse.

This could be considered an avantgarde spurless or mixed-spur design. Some letters have spurs and some don't. This is entirely dependent on the diagonal lines, which were placed so that they would slant up and to the right. "s27" are obvious exceptions.

An even smaller and more stylized take on Madcat/Madkitten. It isn't really a Decolike anymore, but it is readable at smaller sizes than almost all my other designs!

This uses some compression/truncation tricks to fit glyphs into a smaller grid. Those tricks are usually used in pixel designs (such as Chlorophyte) but I think they worked out well here, too!

Experimental filled version of Pzydeco. The counter of "e" and all variations of it remains broken, so that the eye interprets it as "e" instead of "c".

Hello I am Primus and these are my modrons

This font dwells at several borderlines: Effect, Pseudo3D, and at times IVO. It is not really any of these, but with the right presentation, it looks like it is.

Asymmetrical alien techno stencil.

This uses some experimental techniques, of course, but I'm not sure how to concisely explain those. Let's just say that each type of line bend and line connection has a rule associated with it. These get naturally modified by the structural asymmetry the font has so that simple rules appear in many forms and variations.

Paradoxy Effect, now with more dots.

Linestrider's two-lined little brother.

Probably won't update this one again, because it uses a lot of brickswapping and so it is likely to get corrupted by additional editing/saving.

Font made for a friend's band. "Refollte" is Skalmish for "banana spider".

A design that combines decolike asymmetry with a double line concept. It also incorporates some experimental methods to unify the wider glyphs (mw@#™, etc.) with the others, by allowing the middle sections of these letters to have both the single and double lines. This results in a look that is at times architectural and at other times almost like loopy cursive.

V0.2.6: Finished Cyrillic.

*

A small scale faux-bezier design with a cutout-esque look. It offers different advantages at different sizes. Most glyphs are legible down to 4pt.

As this design evolves, it gives me an increasing "board games" feeling. This design seems very well-suited for board game parts, especially cards and smaller plastic pieces.

*

This has a few notable design features:

- Asymmetry helps keep letters like bdpq from being confused for one another

- Serifs and flags accomplish the same thing for groups of similar letters such as ce and ftſ

- Semiserif style helps reduce the need for kerning to almost zero

- Simplified polygons and counter shapes help pixel optimization

That's the name of the font.

A quirky Pseudostencil design with a central horizontal slot going through it. The "slot" is 1 brick tall for lowercase and 2 for uppercase, and becomes a vertical slot for numerals and certain symbols.

This is named for the cowboy and lasagna emojis. These were repeatedly added to then removed from several popular chat clients and websites. Changing emoji standardization or government conspiracy? YOU DECIDE.

Version 1.2: Added Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.

Experimental spurs and counters.

A hollow/unfilled Laconica! :D

This was about five times as work-intensive as the original Laconica, even after accounting for the fact that I didn't add Greek to this one.

INGREDIENTS: Triangles, Distilled Water, Orange Juice, Citric Acid, Powdered Unicorn Horn, Metaphlogiston Clef-21 (to preserve optical clarity), Waifu Tears.

A flat-topped Decolike. This was a difficult style to work with!

Version 1.3: Added Polish and started on Cyrillic.

*

Experimental polygonal superthick decolike.

The final Laconica?

This idea emerged while making Laconica Skeleton, so I decided to carry it out. The design reminds me of blueprints and floor plans, thus the name.

The new Eyeball Kids™ from Pixel Kitchen® are the best way to get your child interested in experimenting with eyeballs. Color 'em! Italicize 'em! Throw 'em into oncoming traffic! Abuse 'em all you want because EYEBALL KIDS ARE ETERNAL.*

An alternate take on Eyeball Kids which has more expressive eyes.

Making this has given me an idea for an ASCII Roguelike tileset wherein lowercase letters represent juvenile creatures and uppercase letters represent adult ones. 

Here we have a filled-counter pseudoserif pseudostencil that is also a borderline IVO design at the same time! It also has a bit of a "double font" look going on if you look at the negative space.

*

Design Rules:

1. Internal negative spaces of glyphs will be filled such that a 0.5-brick-wide void exists between the filled space and the glyphs themselves.

2. When a glyph's horizontal line intersects with the filled space created by Rule 1, both the filled space and the line will be broken.

3. Vertical lines will only connect by two tapering curves or by the implied connections created by filled negative space.

4. Filled negative spaces may only join with the outer perimeters of glyphs.

I finally made a folded-/ribbon-style design. This one contains a number of experimental techniques. Most notably, the swept parts of glyphs are allowed to extend beyond the letterwidths and sometimes even the baselines. This enhances the sense of movement, creates some interesting linkages, and reduces the need for kerning.

All of these shapes can be constructed with paper or ribbon, although lots of clever folding tricks, doubling, and pinning down/securing with glue would be required.

Alternate tilde on "±".

Chamadarya is an Integral Artifice (synthetic universe) I created for the ESOSVM simulation in 2013. It's a place dominated by vast stretches of open sky punctuated by extremely tall mesas and plateaus. Most of the buildings and temples there are made from chrysoberyl, which is extensively engraved, often with a lettering style that looks much like this. Of course, that language is non-Latin so it looks nothing like this design.

Semiserif semispur minimalism.

*

This design uses a few novel glyph-shapes and techniques to achieve its look. Most notable of these is the serifed a which lets the serif protrude to the right. I avoid this feature in almost all designs, especially pixel fonts, because it adds an unnecessary 1px of spacing - but for this font, the feature can be included without changing anything for the worse. Many other glyphs have this same sort of protruding serif/spur, and the slanted geometry of the serifs/spurs affords them a look that "retreats" from neighboring glyphs, rather than seeming to protrude into them.

Version 0.3

A small-grid font with character.

- No angles.

- Asymmetry should be present wherever feasible.
