The 5x5 pixel font used for the Virtual Gremlin, an old emulator/game I wrote. The standard font for ingame text.
This font was also designed to work well with IRC clients and ASCII games (see sample).
Breaking the 5x5 grid was unfortunate but necessary in order to make legible characters in non-Latin languages.
This font is completely free to use in any project.
The aesthetic of this font is part inspired by my own handwriting, and part just wanting to make the smallest font I could. Standard height is 8p.
Unicode Tables: Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended A (mostly), Greek & Coptic, General Punctuation, Superscripts & Subscripts (mostly), Currency Symbols (mostly), Mathematical Operators (mostly), Block Elements, Geometric Shapes, Katakana, and Fullwidth Forms.

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.!

A monospaced version of Barcade Brawl that has been modified to work well as a roguelike font. Not every glyph is centered yet, but all the Basic Latin and More Latin ones are.
A few glyphs (such as #) are modified to break the matrix so that they link together. This is because these glyphs are used to form continuous walls and other structures.
Note also that this design uses a 7x7px matrix which is monospaced at 8px to create 8x7 tiles. I have placed a stray pixel on an unused glyph to make 1px of extra line spacing occur so that the final tiles are 8x8. The preview here onsite adds another px, so it looks slightly out of square. The sample below does too, because it was made before this fix was implemented.
I was working on another spinoff of this that was high-resolution rather than pixel, but since this font has the same LC and UC, I might transplant those glyphs to this font as well to make it as multifunctional as possible. That will more than double the work of making an already big font, though, so it will depend on whether this font gets used by others. A few game developers already use the original "Barcade Brawl" so there is a possibility...

This is a clone of Barcade BrawlA retro-styled font inspired by Art Deco and classic computer fonts. Looks like something you'd see in a video game from the 1980's that's set in the 1920's. Includes over 1000 glyphs from Latin and non-Latin alphabets. Best for decoration and titles.
Credit appreciated but not required.
If this reaches OVER 9000 glyphs, Someone will make Artistic Alphabet with this font, this font has 64+ block elements for every glyph and Christian Munk will surprise me with that font better than 7x12 Serif! [IT TAKES ME WEEKS?, HAS SUPPORT FOR KANBUN CHINESE SYMBOLS AND JAPANESE KANA?, DOESN'T MAKE FS LAG?, BEATS OFF 7X12 SERIF?]
⌠Feel free to request new or fixed glyphs!⌡

Clone of 9x9 Strict. This font was originally made on my alternate account (winty5alt), but I don't plan on using that account anymore unless I have a problem logging on to this one.
Anyway, this font is a 9x9 strict pan-unicode font, great for LCD displays & stuff. Hope you enjoy! :)
