A font where the only restriction is that any glyph can take up only 6 blocks (3 tall, 2 wide) of space in appearance. This means that composites and nudging something into that area from outside are fair game. I think it came out pretty well, aside from things like @ and &. I always seem to have trouble with the ampersand... Of course, the limited size, when combined with the limited bank of blocks, means that there are some problems, like the 8 having a bulge in the middle, the K looks silly, and 2... just look at it. Ugh. Second published font!
This is a cloneA variant of the Tronic font lineup.
This is a clone of Tronic: UprisingAs seen in Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers. Also seen in Space Quest XII: Vohaul's Revenge II and Space Quest X: The Latex Babes of Estros.
Notes:
This font does not contain the roman numeral, Sierra logo, or special keyboard characters. This font is best used at multiples of 6pt sizes.

This font is one of several which originates from ASCII art.
How it Works: Chat users send my chatbot (Voluspa) messages to be displayed in-channel, and Voluspa renders their messages in one of several fonts. This one, Voluspa 3, is the default font for display. It uses the block characters ▀, ▄, and █ to render 6 lines of "pixels" within only 3 lines of text - a hybrid of ASCII and pixel art.
The use of only 3 lines helps keep the messages from obscuring too much of the chat, while also preventing the bot from being kicked for flooding.
This font began life as ASCII art, which was itself rendered in monospaced fonts such as Fixedsys, Lucida Console, and Unifont. Now the art is its own font and the font-ASCII art circle is complete! :D
(Voluspa's display fonts are case-insensitive, and always produce uppercase output, no matter what is fed into them.)
I made a blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...

24-segment display. This one belongs to a small family called Calculatrix.
Like Calculatrix 12, this one is spaced so that every segment appears in its proper place, as if the text were being rendered on one giant display. (If using this in your own software, you will want to check the line spacing as it can vary depending on the software.)
I suppose this font could be used for weaving or embroidery work, as well... it has that look about it...
TIP: Try zooming out while already at Pixel size!
