This is a larger variation of my smaller 8-bit Nostalgia series, and assumes 16pt rendering. It's inspired in large part by the computers from my past: the Commodore 64, Atari, and IBM PC. In many ways, this font is closer to the font used for VGA text -- this font is on an 8x16 grid, while the VGA used a 9x16 grid. However, the VGA font has more letters with serifs, while this font avoids that whenever possible (aside from the typical I/i, L/l, J/j). Only a few other glyphs get serifs when they wouldn't otherwise need it to appear reasonably well-kerned.
This font uses an 8x16 pixel grid. The top three rows are reserved for ascenders and diacritics. The bottom four rows are reserved for descenders. This leaves nine rows for the capital forms, and seven rows for the lowercase forms.
Notable glyphs:
- The "A" and "V" is angled a bit more than usual in a font of this type.
- The "B" has a narrower top half in order to offset the fact that the top and bottom are equal height.
- "J" more closely resembles its lowercase form.
- "g" is a double-story form.
- "3", "4", "5", "6", "9" numerals are fairly unique forms
Planned and started a long time ago as a birthday present for my nephew. I finished it in time for his 13th :) and downloaded a copy to a USB stick. I'll also send him a Spreadshirt item using this font. Thanks to FontStruct I can offer such amazing novel gifts :)
Made using djnippa's All Composites Tool.
Feel free to add suggestions here.

If you are thinking "Why are there downloads if it is an ARR Licence?" Those were by me. And the large # of downloads on y other fonts were NOT me, they were my friends downloading it. Trust me, I sometimes download 1 copy (not like 500 million) of the finished update of a font after saving.
