A work in progress. I'm designing this years after I designed the original non-fancy version. This font will probably be used for chapter names and other short bits of text as opposed to being used for the text of the book itself.
I want this to convey a whimsical and gaudy vibe - think Agatha Christie rhythmically plunging her head down into a giant bowl of Parma Violets to the tune of "Veterans Day Poppy" by Captain Beefheart. Actually, don't think that. My books are about fluorescent pink and purple poodles using psionics to solve crimes, not WEIRD CRAP.
This is a clone of Poodle AnthologyA 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 LinestriderPixel demake of pohang station by time.peace. Just for fun!
This started as an alien sci-fi font, but early in its development I realized it looked a lot like "pohang station". So I ended up shelving my own ideas to create this demake.
With 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!
