Miiverse stamps from NES Remix 1&2.
Since miiverse shut down, I thought it would be nice to be able to use these stamps in some other way and this is the only one I could think of. Some have been altered from the original pixel art (like Wario) and mirrored versions of some characters and the speech/thought bubbles. And yes, this took a LONG time. All rights belong to Nintendo.

I had a sheet of Shinobi's font, nobody had done it yet, now it's here! All characters are what appeared on the sheet - no custom glyphs (yet). I may get around to adding a question mark. Get your black ninja gear on and download now.

Ashlander Pixel is a pixelated version of "Goudy Medieval". Born out of a deep love for Bethesdas "The Elder Scrolls"-series and typography this font not only supports the latin, greek and cyrillic alphabet, but also contains a variety of special symbols related to The Elder Scrolls.
I suggest using the ttf-format for now as the spacing in the otf-format is for some reason totally off. I optimized this font using InDesign, therefore the kerning in some other programs might not work as intended.
I am happy to hear feedback on this font and any issues you might encounter.
May the Nine be with you.
Recreation of the pixel font from The Game Kitchen/Team17's "Blasphemous II" (2023).

Recreation of the pixel font from Jon Wells/Atlantis Software/Psytronik's "Sceptre of Bagdad" (1987) on the ZX Spectrum.
The font was kept for the 1993 conversion on the Commodore 64. This recreation also includes a few of the additional characters (like the copyright symbol) from that version. Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's original tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Mastertronic Added Dimension's "Ninja" (1987) on the Amstrad CPC.
This recreation includes the weird (buggy?) character used in some of the late game room names (like the "green room"), mapped to the "_" underscore.

Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Tir Na Nog" (1984) on the ZX Spectrum.
Note on the Spectrum and C64 version, the font defined in the game includes uppercase letters (not used in the game), as well as special characters and punctuation. In the Amstrad CPC version, only the lowercase alphabet is present, and any other characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
The same font was reused in the prequel to this game, "Dun Darach" (1985).
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Gargoyle Games' "Marsport" (1985) on the ZX Spectrum.
Note that the font defined in the game only sets custom latin alphabet characters (a-z). For any other characters, it reuses the standard ZX Spectrum font. The same is true for the Amstrad CPC version, where any characters (numbers, punctuation, etc) are pulled from the standard Amstrad system font.
This recreation includes the handful of (Spectrum) characters (numbers and punctuation) that are used in the game. Beyond that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the "futuristic" pixel font from Dinamic Software's "After the War" (1989) on the ZX Spectrum.
This font is used in the second part of the game. This recreation corrects the awkwardly inconsistent line height between the alphanumeric characters and the punctuation characters. Note that the Amstrad CPC version uses a different, much blockier font for this part of the game.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Striker in the Crypts of Trogan" (aka "Stryker in the Crypts of Trogan", 1992) on the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
