I took photos of the display to use as reference since I don't know where to find a firmware of this type of phone. Also started to sample the font

Senpai: Ah, a fair new fontstruction has arrived in fontstruct.com!

Senpai: We shall use this font for the pixelated UI!

Boyfriend: Beep bo bop

Senpai: logo ;)

WRONG LED!!!

{ and } seem to be switched around…

nope nah not anymore

@BWM I'll try doing those two blocks next

@Eric I just had my Plane 0 font open and copy pasted each invidual glyph into this one.  I don't think it breaks anything since it's not technically the same font.

cool

This font is still a work in progress

@Florian Hardwig Thank you for that, much appreciated!

Did you open the phone up and dump the firmware ROM or something, or did you recreate it by eye? Either way this looks incredible!

The original name is Bessellen. It was issued by VGC (Visual Graphics Corporation) between their 1972 and 1973 catalogs. I’ve compiled some info about Bessellen on Fonts In Use, and uploaded a scan of the full glyph set to Flickr.

Maybe Gothic and those symbols you've seen on retro computers (1FB00-1FBFF) next when you have time…

The "N" glyph reminds me of the 1975 NBC logo.

Published 26 Oct 2021, with U14 Latin xF and xG

CCC: 89

Surprise! - it's the end of the week apparently because I got stuff done early (for once).  The Plane 1 font is now up with U14 Latin xF and xG added, and font descriptions will be changed to reflect this addition shortly.

@WinNebusa The fixedsys font is monospaced…

Wow, cool idea, I like it

I believe it's "System" aka "fixedsys". I've used it a few time for HyperCan 2 style watermarks and works like a charm.

why tho

This all works (thanks again Mr. Meek!) so Latin xF and xG should exist in a separate plane 1 font by the end of the week hopefully.

Ah perfect!  Thank you very much!

Credited. Thanks Font In Use ❤️.

@Greenstar967 that glitch should be fixed now. You may need to make a small change to your design and save it, to clear the cache, before you download.

I'm sorry but your hiragana like ぎ and ぜ that have the characters connected to the accent look strange

They will likely be duplicated over to a plane 1 font shortly, but I won't delete them from here until the download glitch that affects SMP characters is fixed.

Now that FontStruct supports Unicode 14, could the Latin Extended-F and G letters go into their respective blocks?

aabr

How did you get the Devanagari to work?

@Rob Meek (meek): Thanks, now it works

Should be fixed in a couple of minutes.

I noticed this on my fonts, as well as other fonts too, but at least the astral planes appear correctly…

@Florian Hardwig: I feel very honored. Thank you very much for your interest in this unpretentious work.

very nice!

What happened to the numbers other than zero in the preview window? I cannot write them, they are not displayed. I hope this is temporary.

Hi Antonio, Jay (99melloja) had pointed me to your Zarzaparrilla – excellent work, congrats! I had added your FontStruction to the database of Fonts In Use the other day. Thanks for disclosing your source of inspiration. As you probably know, that’s a

Hi, I must say that you have great fonts that are underrated. This one is especially cool for me. But in many you have a rather strange Cyrillic alphabet, where did you learn to do it like that? It is similar to the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet (only in it ю also

@ 99melloja: Wow! Thank you very much for clarifying the authentic origin of this font! Now that I know, I would like to record that it is inspired by "Pionner" (1969), the work of designer
