A squared-off Chisato Pixel. This loses a bit of style, but has much simpler geometry and is much easier to read. A few glyphs are identical as well, so this is now a Mixed Case design.
Despite its seeming simplicity, I enjoy this design very much. I've added it to ESOSVM under the name "ChiP".
This is a clone of Chisato PixelA variant of Radio Grave which took many hours to produce. I think the effort was worth it! This is a functional Multi-font and can produce a broad range of effects, especially when used at down near the original size.

Shading Rules:
1. Use the darkest tone on the outermost concentric region and get lighter as one progresses inward.
2. Let the 5x5 region surrounding the exact center of each glyph use the lightest tone, except when this would place the lightest tone into its neighboring region.
3. Glyphs with diagonals and glyphs which use a smaller than 5x5 drawing area may bend rule 2 for the sake of more consistent and/or interesting shading.

This is a clone of Radio GraveHollow version of Radio Grave. Though it's not a cipher, it does have a cryptographic look about it...

This is a clone of Radio GraveTelos Unicase with overzealous antialiasing applied to it. It looks as if it were automatically antialiased by 16-bit hardware - a bit smudgy, almost pencil-shaded. Check it out at 2x Pixel size!
Despite its simple looks, this font is just about the densest thing I can create on a 5x5 grid without obfuscating the letters themselves.
While using this font I discovered some unforeseen uses for shaded styles such as this. Since the "antialiasing" occurs in only one shade and never overlaps or replaces solid pixels, it can be easily mass-selected. One can quickly and easily recolor sections of the font, convert it to the non-antialiased version, or clone the layer the translucent pixels are on and achieve more interesting effects.
This is a clone of Telos UnicaseA variation of Linestrider with rounded line terminals.
This is a clone of LinestriderWith the increased boldness, this design loses its decolike look in favor of a slightly more sci-fi one.
A lot of broken glyphs had to be fixed for this... I think I got 'em all...
This is a clone of BadwolfJust a variation of an existing design. Spacing values were changed to break the chains, and "space" & "no-break space" were made blank.
This is a clone of Might ChainRC Dynamite with altered filter sizes. The result looks as if it's sizzling, part of a mirage, made of cardboard, or even made by tire tracks!
This is a clone of RC DynamiteFuzzy Logic, but the darkest halftone has been replaced with a copy of the lightest.
The bands in the overlapping regions are artifacts of the FS preview. They don't show up when the font is used elsewhere. However, any size which is not a multiple of the original can create a different type of banding... I recommend using this at larger sizes...
This is a clone of Fuzzy LogicA stencil version of RC Dynamite made for laser cutting! Could also be an LCD Segment design with slight modification...
This is a clone of RC DynamiteAn improved version of Derpberd which remains true to the original style.
It's still very casual-looking and very well suited to comics and pixel art, but it's also more regular and readable than before.
This is a clone of DerpberdAn extension of ideas present in "Gehenna".
Verbossus in sans-serif!
This is a clone of VerbossusI wondered what a plain version of Candylander would look like, so I made this. :D
I think a fully half-arc version could look even more stylish than this! Hope to find time to create one soon. (EDIT: Done, see Migrator)
This is a clone of CandylanderA more bookish take on Comicool, made for more comfortable general reading. It's still useful for comics, as well!
Many letters were squared off in the corners, lowercase letters were given stems, and an assortment of glyphs were edited for more style.
This is the third iteration of Comicool... rather than develop them all toward one style, I tried to make each iteration the best it could be. The result is three distinct, but still compatible styles. This one is probably the best for body text!
This is a clone of ComicoolCybernaut turned inside-out! The result is mostly illegible except when used at multiples of the original size and with antialiasing turned off. At the original size (2x Pixel size), it's capable of some magnificent cybernetic aesthetics.

This is a clone of CybernautA variant of Clockwork Macguffin in which most curves are changed to 90° angles. Whereas with most fonts a change like this would result in a more authoritarian or "professional" look, this one became quirkier. I like it!
This is a clone of Clockwork MacguffinA semibold Gongclonker made to the same specs as the original - 5x5 with no wasted matrix.
This is a clone of GongclonkerVersion 1.5: All permutations of E and F were refined and improved.

A modernized, rounded, and truncated version of Marengi. This is made to be a good text editor/chat font. It has very few kerning pairs, so it should render fine in any software.
Ascenders are only allowed to be as tall as the uppercase/numerals, while descenders are allowed to go 2px below the line. This creates a natural line spacing that is readable and not too dense. (Diacritics break this rule, of course... darn them...)
Gone are the curved descenders/termini on letters like gjty. The simpler geometry makes this design more suited to speedreading than its predecessor. In fact, altering those four letters alone improves speedreading on this font by up to 14%!

09JUN2019: I have been using this as my main IRC/chat font for some time now. Of all my chatfont designs, this has proven the easiest to read and use.

Nirvanite Fossil with round shapes changed to diamonds.
I think this one is the toughest to read in the family - even harder than Nirvanite Pixel. Oh well!
This is a clone of Nirvanite FossilMegashark's hard 1px outline was experimentally converted to a soft 1px outline. This result is far less readable to my eye, though it does look cool! Its printed words have a balloon-esque, almost organic quality.
"S.D.M.G." stands for "Super Dolphin Machine Gun", a weapon from the game Terraria. The Minishark and Megashark are from the same game. :^)
This is a clone of MegasharkAlter version of Game of Strife. These two designs are for a project that is in progress. They're made to animate and swap between each other so that the text they print seems "untrustworthy".
(If you guessed that this text was being printed by an evil AI, you've won! Here's your free Nothing.)
