A font based on the date stamps superimposed on photos taken with an old Sony Cybershot digital camera, exact model unknown, circa 2000.

IMPORTANT: This is NOT a 100 percent accurate recreation of Sony's original font!  I do not have access to the original camera itself, only the photos taken with it.  Only the characters which appear in said photos are direct copies: digits 0-9, and letters A-G, J, L-P, R-V, and Y.  The process of reconstructing these characters was one of trial and error, as I had to contend with both the non-integer scaling of the pixels and the loss of detail caused by JPG compression.  However, I am quite confident that my recreations of the aforementioned characters are correct.

The rest of the characters, by contrast, are new fabrications, not directly copied from the original font—  if, indeed, "the original font" existed in the first place.  (A few design inconsistencies, such as E and F having their crossbars at different heights, suggest to me that they weren't all designed by the same person at the same time.)  This meant I had to make a number of editorial decisions when designing them, especially given the limited 8x13 resolution.  Some of them were done more-or-less from scratch, like H and I.  Others were modifications of existing letters, like Q from O and X from Y.  Others still, like W, took inspiration from other Sony fonts of a similar vintage, including SonyCam Original, Xane123's excellent recreation of the Sony Handycam font.

While the images I worked from only included letters and numbers, I went ahead and designed characters to fill out the Basic Latin character set.  These too took inspiration from the above-mentioned sources.  In fact, the asterisk character was taken directly from SonyCam Original—  when cropped to content, it was exactly 8 pixels wide, and I hadn't been able to get the design working myself!  I'm not exactly happy with all of them, but at some point I perfect becomes the enemy of good.  If you have access to a Sony Cybershot camera with characters matching the authentic ones (0-9, A-G, J, L-P, R-V, Y), please leave a comment below!  I would love to improve the authenticity of this font, if possible.
