A very simple, somewhat abstract typeface in which every single character is only 3x3 pixels at most (excluding commas and semicolons). I know 3x3 fonts have been done before, like with "Tiny Pixel" and "Illegibility," but I did my hardest to refine this font to being as legible as possible.
Rotate 90° clockwise then mirror horizontally for proper orientation.
Use 1234567890-= to space the glyphs.
./, for start/end of word, {/} for start/end of phrase, | for divider.
Capitals have trimmed arches to allow for ligation.
g variants on p and q (and G on P, Q, R, and S).
Basically a light version of zephram’s Madufaros Mini. Not really faithful—some glyphs easily stray from their Madufaros’ ancestors.
Support for Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, General Punctuation, Greek, Cyrillic, Runic, Ogham and partially IPA.
I will probably revisit this once in a while, since I’m still not satisfied with some characters.
This is a clone of Madufaros MiniThe main language seen in the videogame Stray, used by the robots as communication. However it's more of a cipher than a proper language. Therefore it can be transformed into a font/typeface for people to use.

Original typeface credit given to developers of the game Stray, I only take credit for the portions added onto the already existing typeface.
This is something I've doodled on for a while. I'd like to incorporate shapes other than triangles and rectangles into this but I'm just too busy with other projects. Feel free to continue it, make it better, or whatever.
I had help from BWM for suggestions to improve a lot of the glyphs. Thanks, man!
Font with a particular feel. The shapes are modified & filled versions of glyphs from my Tangereen series.
This is made to be a logotype for my band, Gongitar, so it's developed as far as it needs to for the time being. Uppercase, numerals, more refinements, etc. might come in future.
The Unicode bitmap font from Minecraft, also known as GNU Unifont. The game has a font priority system called "providers" that looks for bitmap data for a specific character in the non-Latin European character set first, then in the accented Latin character set, then in the game's low-res default font, then finally here, in the high-res Unicode character set. You can override this priority system by going into Options... > Language..., then setting "Force Unicode Font" to ON.
The game stores this font in images containing 16 rows and 16 columns of characters. Each character is 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels tall, totalling 256 characters per image. Each image represents one Unicode codepage, and there are 256 pages, which covers characters U+0000 to U+FFFF. Control characters and most CJK characters are omitted here, because FontStruct doesn't officially support them.
The font is not monospace, however, so the effective widths of each character are stored in a separate file called glyph_sizes.bin. Information for each character is stored in one byte, and the upper and lower 4 bits of this byte represent the start column and end column with a number ranging from 0 to 15, where 0 is the leftmost column of the character's allotted 16x16 space, and 15 is the rightmost column, respectively.
Knowing all of this allowed me to automate most of the steps involved in creating this recreation. I did not use the FontStructor to make this, I instead used a program to directly interact with FontStruct's API. It is possible to add unsupported characters to a font with this method, but I chose to stay within the limits of what is officially supported.
