SUPER MA(RE-)O BROS.

A bitmap typeface family that recaps the classic fonts that were used for 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System game "Super Mario Bros."

-- It's a large piece that covers a bit of everything. And two seporate typefaces will be published the following days to accompany this one seemlessly.

both more less finished as well, but changes were made in this one that requires the other two to be fixed again in order to seemlessly work together before getting published, So stay tuned!

About this fist part:

It combines not just the two (title screen and ingame regular text)fonts used for this game, but also includes dingbats related to the game, and combines it all into one single typeface!

The sample will only display correctly at exact pixel size or double the value of this due to dither gradients that otherwise not show as a solid surfaces.

Basic and Extended Latin - letters seen at title screen

Superscripts and Subscripts -  regular text font (only partial alphabet, as according to the unicode standard for this block)

 Miscellaneous Symbols - miscellaneous dingbats related to the game such as emoji's and blocks to make seemless ornamental features like seen ingame

Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms - regular text font but with full suport for both uppercase & lowercase, as well as numerals and basic punctuation.

Enjoy!

Recreation of the main pixel font from LJN/Software Creation's "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage" (1994) on the SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Technōs' "Double Dragon II: The Revenge" (1990) on the NES. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

My attempt at making a Unown font where all the letters are consistent in size. This is original pixel art made using a high-res reference. It's made to be a nice-looking design, not to be 100% accurate to the games. Upper case is fully kerned.

"We Dunno" is an anagram for "Unowned".

Original size: 6.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

Recreation of the pixel font from Compile/Tonkin House/ASCII Corporation's "Gun-Nac" (1990) on the NES. Note the diamond character, used for menu/shop item selection, mapped to U+25C6. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" (1993) on the Game Boy.

This recreation includes the special/accented characters from the french and german releases of the game. In game, the characters with a diaeresis use an additional tile above them - in this recreation, the characters have been combined properly (and as a result, the height of the font overall is greater than 8px).

As an aside, this font was also used for the fan translation of "For frog the bell tolls" (aka "カエルの為に鐘は鳴る" / "Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru", 1992/2011).

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the large pixel font from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" (1991). This is the extended version, which includes additional accented/extended versions of characters (based on the different european releases of the game).

Recreation of the large pixel font from Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" (1991). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font used for the end credits in Konami's "Castlevania" (1986) on the NES. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

One of the many fonts used in "Hammerin' Harry: Ghost Building Company" by Irem for the Game Boy. This one can be seen on the title screen.

None of the fonts used in the game seem to have been completed. Analysis with VBA's Tile Viewer reveals only the glyphs needed to spell out what little text exists. In particular this font has only the glyphs "BCDEILMNORSTY139©". Thus, I took it upon myself to make the font more complete.

I did not add lowercase, since it's impossible to tell what style it would have been drawn in. EVERY font in the game is in uppercase... though some of the others do have small caps for "lowercase".

A pixel rendition of Bolton Sans by designer Paul Lloyd. For a game concept of mine.

This is a redone version, as the original had issues that I couldn't seem to fix. But hey, this time it has more characters!

If you want to use this commercially, I guess I'd suggest getting permission from both of us?

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)

font inspired by SNES RPGs

The font used in Super Mario 64 when speaking to people or reading signs. These characters are mostly derived from the game and used to recreate the font. Glyphs such as the asterisk and curly bracket are made with modified or existing characters used in-game (star instead of asterisk, curly bracket made from parenthesis, etc.)

Recreation of the main pixel font from Rare/Tradewest's "R.C. Pro-Am II" (1992) on the NES. Note that the "$" sign originally spans two characters, incorporating a 4 pixel spacing on either side - for this recreation, the character was normalized to a regular single character width. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

scenarioSource based on the mysterious writing of the sheikah people 

about the game The Legend Of Zelda Breath The wild, the same source is used in all the writings scattered around the same scenario.

Ps: Only the numbers 0 to 10, all the letters in high box and space and end point because they are only those that exist in the game

Recreation of the pixel font from Rare/Nintendo's "Cobra Triangle" (1988) on the NES. Fairly standard, but with some interesting details in the "Q", "S", "Y", "5" and "9". Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the bold variant pixel font from Arc System Works/Capcom's "Code Name: Viper" (aka "Ningen Heiki Dead Fox", 1990) on the NES. Includes the punctuation/special characters from the regular (non-bold) dialog version. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from LJN's much reviled "The Uncanny X-Men" (1989) on the NES. Note the alternative "A" and "V" characters, mapped to upper- and lowercase. This font also includes basic box-drawin elements.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

For reasons...

Includes a few minor invented characters to fill it out a bit.
