      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=685d50fc&id=1174221&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p>A font no one asked for, with no discernible use case, Refraktury (inspired by Volker Busse's F25 Blackletter Typewriter font) is a monospaced black letter font, suitable for typesetting math the hard way, illegible code listings, and oddly kerned newspaper marquees. It's a simplified mix of several different styles, mostly Fraktur and Schwabacher. It covers the ISO Latin-1 block, because why in the world would you care if it covers anything else?!</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[“Carthage Sans LKE” by csyde]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=6a0e830d&id=1177148&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p>Carthage Sans LKE is an expanded version of my Carthage Sans font, which in itself is a reimagining of Apple's Espy Sans 12 bitmap font. It aims to cover as much as possible of the Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek blocks of the Unicode standard (thus the initials -- "Latina, Kirilitsa, Elleniki"). I'm open to expanding it to any of the other scripts Unicode covers, but I have little to no personal experience with most other alphabets; if you'd like to contribute, I'd particularly be interested in Arabic, Devanagari, Katakana, Hiragana, Armenian, and Hangul. (I would like to add Hebrew as well, but it's hard to get the diacritics right in what's essentially a pixel font. We'll see.) The current status as of 10/28/2015 (the date of initial publication):</p>

<p>-Latin: all of Latin-1, Latin Extended-A, and "Even More Latin"; Latin Extended-B is missing some characters that seem to be mostly either phonetic notation or obsolete.</p>

<p>-Greek: All Greek characters supported by FontStruct. If you need some of the ancient dialect characters like Pamphylian digamma, they're now in the GitHub version; polytonic will appear there as well, if anyone asks for it.&nbsp;Basic Coptic support is there, although I tried to fit it into the Espy Sans aesthetic rather than trying to duplicate the Byzantine-Egyptian traditional style.</p>

<p>-Cyrillic: Still a work in progress, but all Slavic languages using Cyrillic characters should be covered. The main holdup is Abkhazian, which is spoken by just over 110,000 people in the world and also has one of the longest alphabets in the world; I have no idea how many of them would be interested in this, so it hasn't been a huge priority. (Besides, the PT family from Russia's Paratype is excellent and far better than I could do with most Cyrillized languages.) I've emphasized support for several languages, the most important being Vietnamese (75 million speakers deserve some support no matter how tedious it is to do so).</p>

<p>I've also added characters for Old Irish, Old Church Slavonic, and Icelandic. There's a number of characters used in pan-African linguistics I am not sure if I need or not; they'll get filled in eventually alongside the Cyrillic, but how fast I have no idea.</p>

<p>I am deeply indebted to Keith Martin (@thatkeith on Twitter), formerly of the UK MacUser magazine, and his Espy Sans Revived project for a reference for the original letter bitmaps; Carthage is entirely my work but it's hard to find Espy Sans specimens in the wild, and his work is probably the best.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[“Carthage Sans Bold” by csyde]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=68377e80&id=1173012&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/>The boldface companion to the Carthage Sans font, based on Apple's Espy Sans Bold 12 bitmap font. This is probably more of an ultrabold than a regular boldface, so there will probably be a demibold at some point in the future to fill in the gap. Note that unlike the regular form, the bold version lacks f-ligatures so they don't look like blobs.

      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=6a25bd6d&id=1172663&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/>Carthage Sans is a reimagining of Apple's Espy Sans 12 bitmap font. It is *not* a copy of Martin Pfeiffer's Nu Sans font, although it is inspired by it. It probably looks better at smaller point sizes, as some of the jaggier bits required to make it look like the bitmap font are a little too obvious when enlarged. 

This release covers the ISO Latin-1 character set plus a couple of minor characters outside of it (particularly the long ƒ, for those of you who still use that convention for your folders). There will be a bold version and possibly a separate "LKE" version (Latina, Kirilitsa, Elleniki) with Cyrillic, Greek, and possibly Hebrew characters. I've not yet decided on doing a Carthage Serif, but it's possible, if I don't get distracted with other projects. 

The name is a complicated pun on "Newton" and is probably not worth trying to explain, but it has to do with the Punic name for Carthage (Qart Hadasht) meaning "new city". (I could perhaps just as easily called it Naples or Novgorod. If this paragraph shows up on r/iamverysmart... I won't be too surprised.)

This will be an ongoing project, so check back, since I may have added more emoji since you last downloaded.
