Experimental sliced sans serif. My goal here was to make a design which would result in an extremely compact and durable physical stencil. Almost all of the sharp points and acute angles are within the negative space, so it should be easy and very safe to make, handle and work with this stencil.

1.2 - added uppercase, changed name to "Aegris Stencil".
1.1 - edited for more readability at small size. Glyphs with enclosed loops were altered so that the "movement" of the segments always runs clockwise.

A stencil design in which diagonal cuts are used to imply angles and curves. It does not quite obey the rules of a segmented display, but it tries its best!
This is inspired by some text I put on the side of the Sheepslayer Mk.2, a flying dragon car piloted by Lyll "Hatch" Soretti in my game Seven Candles.

Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Hokuto no Ken - Shin Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu" (aka "Hokuto No Ken II", 1989) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
The game was released in the west as "Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero", but without the original "Fist of the North Star" license, and with many gameplay aspects (most notably, character names and the level of gore) changed.
Note that this version only includes the punctuation marks used in the original Japanese game. For the western release, a different set was used.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. Some of the core katakana characters were missing, so I added them from similar more complete fonts. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned next to their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
With the exception of the handful of extra katakana glyphs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
The font from Sonic Mania! Created as a default font for my own personal use as there's not many good Sonic fonts out there for a default font but I've released this publically as well! Credit goes to SEGA.
Eliminated various differences between the original. Fixed some length issues.
Globalspaced
HUD suitable for Sonic 1, 2, 3, 3&K and CD.
Lowercase ported from Sonic CD 0.02
Apologies about the terrible monospace mastering before! Spacing is reduced and is made to look better than the original. Unfortunately, the long letters (“M” and “W”) will stick to the letter next to it.
This is a clone of Sonic HUD Globalspaced 1.1Want to see a magic trick? This font quickly loses readability when it is shrunk or enlarged from its original size! It's like an anti-font, judging you for wanting to use it.
I think this makes excellent placeholder text at small sizes, though to the uninitiated it might just look like blurry Braille.
This is a clone of CelLCDA 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
