A medium-res pixel font I designed in 2017 for printing the text of "The Story of Book" (TSoB), a tale which began life as an imaginary joke story and then was actually committed to paper.

TSoB is woven from my and my friends' whims, flights of fancy, in-jokes, and intentional idiocy, as well as contributions from several AIs. The resulting story changes tone, style, mood, and context at seeming random, and is subversive toward its media and reader beyond insufferability. All this was done just to make Trap Farmer Brer Brah slightly more interesting to the very few people who will ever bother to get and read The Story of Book in-game. So this font is based on an Easter egg.

Experimental mosaic... or maybe a new mineral species?

This one started as a doodle. I began placing circles to see what kinds of complex shapes I could make, and this was the result.

It achieves a new visual effect at almost every size up to the original. Also try slowly moving the zoom slider for some interesting animations!

*

This font is now nearly 1MB in size! I guess it has to do with the intrinsic complexity of circles.

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.

*

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

An experiment in subtle asymmetry (it's most evident in the upper case).

*

Version 1.7 (14Sep2018) - ExtL-A added, GFB completed, Greek started

Version 1.6 (18Aug2018) - Changed name from "RC Badwolf" to "Badwolf"

Version 1.5 (15Aug2018) - altered 2357,ð

Version 1.4 (14Aug2018) - altered space width and mw

A fusion between Roman-style text and pixel art - the sort of font that might have existed in old 80s font software. It's fairly wide and verbose and is something of a colossus among pixel fonts.

*

Original size: 13pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A 7x7 outline design which is made to form solid-looking masses from the glyphs while still allowing the outer perimeters of words to take on some unique shapes.

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

A 117-segment display made to have a more "mosaic" look. Try using this one at odd sizes, especially with antialiasing off! The resulting distortions occur in a consistent way which leads to many new uses for the font.

Original size: 38pt

Version 1.5

*

Experimental slab-serif. The added height from the serifs is quantized so that the serifs, rather than the normal lines, determine a glyph's geometry.

It reminds me of the Wild West and the old cartoon "The Jetsons" at the same time. It uses two kinds of serifs: normal slabs and "hangover" serifs. The hangovers are the ones that look like overhangs. Is there another name for them? I don't know.

This font is set to appear in several games at once! I'm not the developer of any of them! WOO

Despite what you may have heard, a "hoedown" is just a party.

Bookish pixel font designed for general reading. Made for use in my own future web designs.

Version 1.5

*

3x3 slab serif. This is based on Wallerton, Anachronistic Gunslinger, an IRC-based "TV show" which I used to write and produce. All the characters in the show were my AIs pretending they were cowboys.

Well, I managed to successfully produce a lowercase for this one!

Recommended: Use with kerning.

A fan request. This is Minecraft's in-game text font, truncated to fit into a smaller grid and then edited for consistency.

Feel free to use this for your fan games / mods / whatever! :D

*

Original size: 6pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

An experiment to see how good of a hex grid I could make with just the hex brick. Answer: Pretty good!

(Use _ for the blank grid.)

This is capable of some pretty convincing "TV static" type effects, too!

Version 14

My attempt at a small-form polygonal sans-serif. This is based partly on the 16-segment circle I used to make "Circlets" and "Misplaced Baubles".

*

This has proven to be my most popular font around the web, at least in terms of favorites. If you'd like to see support for your language added, post a comment and let me know which letters are missing.

Pixellated Proxima Punch. It's art deco for your ancient compy box! New smaller grid, same great taste.

Original size: 6pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. However, this one has been noted to look great at almost every smaller size. Try 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, etc. for slight variations on the look!

A semi-bold Diabolicious. It is the same width and size as the original!

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

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

Pixel gothic somethingorother. Diabolical + Malicious = Diabolicious.

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

Recommended: Use with kerning turned ON!

My attempt at a headliner font. This is made to look very regular, even "generic", but also very clearly readable - the sort of font you might expect to see in advertising agencies, publishing houses, hospitals, and government buildings.

Uppercase only.

Use with kerning turned ON!

Lowercase only!

This font used to be the lowercase for Spacekapitan. I cloned Spacekapitan so I could keep this, then reworked Spacekapitan into what it is now. Then I continued working on this font to make it the best it could be, and here we see the result. It has almost nothing but 90-degree angles.

This is mostly built around a 5x5 square which makes its way into most glyphs in some way or another.

I think this would make a good companion font for "Your Quota".

Stylized 5x5 pixel font. Tiny but power-packed!

I designed it to have a slightly balloon-esque, oldschool arcade look. Feel free to use it in your games.

*

Original size: 7.5pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

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...

*

Original size: 7px (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A chimera (fusion) which combines inline-versus-outline, maze, Gemscript, and other techniques to produce a timeless look.

*

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

Design Rules:

1. Square bricks only.

2. A 1px soft border of negative space must exist between lines whenever possible.

3. Glyphs must fill the 9x9 grid to the greatest extent possible given the rounded style.

4. The set of glyphs shall be a heterogeneous mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical forms.

5. Negative space will replace positive in any situation wherein the small grid size or the geometry of a letterform would be detrimental to the chosen style. This includes all situations where any shape lacks at least a soft 1px border of negative space around it.

Fontstruct's first vacuum tube font!

This is a design inspired by Nixie tubes. Since these "tubes" are iconographic, they could theoretically represent 12AX7s, 6L6s, KT88s, or whatever tube/valve you wanted. Feel free to clone and build on this concept.

Just runes, here.  For letters with numerals, puncuation and Futhark ruins, see my "Modern Futhark" font.

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!

Blacked-out, outlineless version of Hipixel. A bit of spacing was added for readability.

I attempted a blackletter style without any knowledge or references. The result reminds me of a vampire's writing!

The name "Dethzmezenger / Death's Messenger" comes from one of many old joke bands which I created.

Original size: 17.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A multi-line design which is slightly reminescent of mazes/fingerprints. It's not designed to create functional mazes, but it is somewhat capable!

"Absinthelyric Print" is an anagram for "Labyrinthine Script".

*

Original size: 11.25pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. (If you use antialiasing, it will look perfect at most any size.)

*

Design rules:

1. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

2. Alphabetic glyphs must have open terminals; numerals and symbols must have closed terminals. Letters which do not terminate (D,O, etc.) must be broken so that they terminate.

3. Glyphs must fill the 15x15 grid.

4. Ligatures and combinatorial glyphs must fit into one letter's space.

5. Draw from the outside in.

Marengi Serif. It's like Marengi, but with serifs!

The serifs give this a wider, more open/airy feeling. Slightly less readable than original Marengi, but slightly more pleasing to look at.

------------------------------------------------------------------

MIV: 7.85

Original size: 11pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

------------------------------------------------------------------

Trying a Courier style. The lowercase has a slightly bottom-heavy design, while the uppercase keeps it consistent. Serifs everywhere!

It fits into typewriter/detective type aesthetics as well as rustic and western ones.

This one is made for a friend. We'll see if they ever end up using it. :v

EDIT: It seems as if said friend is never going to make their webzine... so, feel free to do with this one as you wish.

Balloon/block style pixel text.

Original size: 18.5pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Version 1.3: Added Polish.

* $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ 

Another simple experiment with composites, this time trying to make a font which can easily accomplish a "diamond encrusted" or "disco floor" style effect within my graphics software.

SPOILER: I succeeded. :D

* $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ * $ * £ * ¢ * ¥ 

Made on a whim as a result of rediscovering an old design (see sample).

It's pixel perfect at 12pt, 24pt, 36pt, etc. :^)

Since the inspiration image had only uppercase in it, I took some style liberties with the lowercase. The result is mildly comical!
