Size: 5x5

Making a pixel font series.

Things that don't look good: (x, 1/4, 1/2)

Oh look I made another one!

This one's inspired by the Hyperdimension Neptunia series: A recreation of the blocky font used in the game.

It's not a perfect recreation, but it's close enough to the font in HDN

A design that looks like a top-down view of ziggurats!

I composited the diacritics so they'd fit into place, but this means that anything non-English needs to be pretty large to be unambiguously read...

universally usable square script of a maximum of six lines, developed as a curve-less blind-handwriting (universell nutzbare Quadratschrift aus maximal sechs Linien, entwickelt als kurvenlose Blinden-Schreibschrift), by Alexander Fakoó www.fakoo.de/quadoo

By request: A squareish serif. 5x7 with no wasted matrix.

It makes a decent companion font to Gumshoe.

Actaeon has eaten its vitamins, said its prayers, and now it's all grown up and become a big strong sans-serif.

Pandora's Blocks is a new kind of box. A better  box. A box that contains things unheard of in the world of humans, a box that dissolves problems and anxieties before casting them unto the four winds, a box that turns the words you say and the thoughts you think into ambrosia. Do the right thing and don't not not de-un-open the box. There are bad things living in there.

You must repost this message on Facebook within 30 seconds. If you don't warn at least 12 people about the dangers of pixel fonts by tomorrow, your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandma will rise from the dead and raid your kitchen. She was a master Sandwichologist employed by Sir Francis Bacon himself. Repeat, DO NOT OPEN THE BOX.

Experimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!

The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.

"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

Design Rules:

1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.

2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.

3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

A doodle made with Brick Basket.

This has many uses! It works as a pixel font or a high-res one, and can generate a surprising range of visual effects.

Another free 5x5 pixel font for game developers.

This one has a vaguely authoritarian quality thanks to the hard 90° angles.

Looks like a Game Boy font to me!

Feel free to use it in your games.

A clinical font, an attempt at trying to work curves in a non-curved setting. I believe this works stronger as a text font, and I've given it the usual Euro specials, as well as Google font support if you are such way inclined.

Also added some Russian support because why not? It looks like it'd fit. Also Greek, too.

I spent WAY too much time this weekend trying and failing to speedrun Sonic 3. Hence the name.

Lawgivers' font. Vertical members are doubled, horizontal members are not - except when needed to complete vertical members. Overhangs and bends help to make glyphs more distinctive.

Pixelated version

5x5 can be such a fun size to design with. :^)

Every glyph fits within the 5x5 grid so gamedevs can easily use this one in tiles, etc.
