The classic pixel font from the early days of video games - Taito's "Space Invaders" (1978). An early version of this font was already used in games like Taito's "Circus" (1977) and Exidy's "Robot Bowl" (1977). This extended edition also includes additional characters found in later games, like Taito's "Lunar Rescue" (1979), "Space Chaser" (1979), Exidy's "Crash" (1979) and SNK's "Ozma Wars" (1979).

Strictly 8x16/8x8 monospaced arcade-style font inspired by Old Church Slavonic manuscripts and Cyrillic vyaz majuscules. Designed for all-lowercase body text with occasional all-caps headers, as in historical manuscripts- but works well with mixed caps.
500+ glyphs, including extensive support for accented Latin letters, world currency symbols, and custom Roman numerals, along with assorted dingbats and multiocular O scribal glyphs used in Old Church Slavonic in text referencing eyes.
Support for majuscule punctuation, more non-Latin scripts, and more extended Latin & dingbats possibly upcoming.
If you know any of the non-Latin scripts included, please let me know of any gaps/accuracy or legibility issues!
Changelog:
1.3.0 - Now with (basic) Greek support!
1.3.1 - Finished punctuation, archaic, & diacritical Greek glyphs
1.4.0 - Russian/Ukranian Cyrillic support + small dingbat additions

Armenian, Georgian, Coptic support
African, Cherokee, and Canadian Aboriginal script support
Hebrew support
Recreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Final Fight" (1989).
This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a cloneBased on the game 'Xevious,' this font does not only contain small letters, but it contains a brand new small letters just related to the big ones from the original game! It also contains a small Solvalou symbol to salute to the 1982 classic! A sci-fi raster font for shooting fans, everywhere.
A special Pac-Man version of the familiar Arcade Legacy font on FontStruct, given the title: PAC-MAN LEGACY! (Yes, it's even in stylized all-caps)
What's changed, you might ask? The exclamation mark (!), now based on the "!" as seen in both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man when you start up a game, and begin another maze after eating all of the Pac-Dots. If it's one thing that matters most, it's detail.
Sprint 2 was the first arcade game released by Atari in 1976 that debuted the 8-bit arcade font that many gamers know and love today. And the Atari Legacy font wishes to carry the torch as it once did back then, especially with new unicodes and glyphs. You can tell it's a font based on the golden days of gaming because of the "E". The unique "E" may seem very familiar for those who played Atari games back in the arcades, and those today who played Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection! The "?" and "!" are even sourced from Atari's Quiz Show, also released in 1976!
This is a clone of Arcade LegacyThe definitive retro gaming font, now available to use for your gaming-related projects, without a single arcade quarter required, is here! Why stick with Press Start 2P when you can use this, especially the fact that this font has over 1000 characters? This font was originally inspired by nostalgic arcade games, such as Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Frogger, Wonder Boy, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Burger Time, Centipede, Track & Field, Bomb Jack, and many more!
This is a clone of Super Mario Bros. NESRecreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Hopper Robo" (1983).
The font does include a second set of numerals that match the look of the letters, but that set is incomplete (missing the "6" and "7"). For this reason, decided to go with the more distinctive "segmented" numerals which are used in the game itself.

Recreation of the main pixel font from Kaneko/Taito's "Prebillian" (1986).
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
In the game, the colours in the font are generally cycling. This recreation uses one specifically pleasing combination of colours during these constant transitions.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of PrebillianThird font in a series of three colour pixel experiments, made after reading Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type by Toshi Omagari. This one has a double shadow, which gives an extruded 3D effect at a smaller scale.
Feeling inspired after reading Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type by Toshi Omagari, I set out to make my own 8x8 pixel font. I worked with a similar approach to the one I used in the larger grid font offstruct rgb.
First started in Adobe Illustrator, each character consists of three iterations of the same 6x6 pixel letter: in RGB Red, Green and Blue. These were layered, offset by one pixel diagonally, filling the 8x8 box. To achieve additive blending, I applied the "Lighten" transparancy setting. Combinations of overlaying these three primary RGB colours result in the secondary RGB coloured pixels Yellow, Cyan and Magenta. In the additive mixing of coloured lights, the equal blending of all three primary colours results in White. All pixels were then entered manually into the fontstructor and black pixels were added for display purposes.

Recreation of the pixel font from Sega's "Gigas" (1986).
Oddly, the game was then bootlegged/modified by Nihon Systems as "Omega" (1986), though it appears that it was never widely released.
