While looking for a pixel font, I came across Pumpkin Font by SparklyDest. I liked it, but also noticed some inconsistencies and a lot of missing characters that I needed. Although I could have simply chosen another font, I instead decided to rework the original to adapt it to my needs.
OBJECTIVES
·My primary goal is to create all the Latin characters as well as the Google Fonts basic. This will already take me some time, but once done, I may consider working on other alphabets.
·My first task was to adjust letters height and width for a more consistent font. I did my best to ensure that characters within the same category have a uniform format, and when this proves difficult to achieve, I strive to get as close as possible.
·I might revisit characters that I already made. I'm learning as I create, and I may identify modifications to make gradually. If you have any ideas or advice, please feel free to share!
DONE
·Basic Latin
WORKING ON
·More Latin
·Extended Latin A
·Extended Latin B
·Even More Latin
For this font I was inspired by elegant and decorative type. I looked at old English style and modern cursive fonts to inform my design. My font would be described as script, pixelated, and formal, using thick and thin strokes, ligatures, and fluid strokes to simulate handwriting.
A typeface loosely based around Robert Perine's logo for Fender, characterised by natural, fluid shapes. The aim was to construct each letterform with minimal 'brushstrokes' - further details are captured with smaller, flicks/strokes. Additionally, the texture is supposed to mimick inkblots when using a fountain pen, for example.
First of all let me start by saying this is the longest font name i’ve ever seen and it doesn’t even mean anything. This is because I name my fonts random made-up words that I think look good written in the font. Also no, the uppercase letters are not meant to be alternates, I just liked the idea of a lowercase font, but wanted to be able to use uppercase to make things look less like they were written by someone texting the whole time. Yes I know I made the actual uppercases for the tall letters (sorry I don’t know what it’s actually called), but that’s because I couldn’t just make them taller to show that they were uppercase. This font is compatible with English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Russian, and maybe others I missed. Language compatibility requests are welcome.
Just like the original Spaceport font but with compacted lowercase characters.
This is a clone of Spaceport MonoThe Russian and both English rebooted StripMap™ font with pixely game style.

There was no "0" or "," in the original StripMap, So I Rebooted it. There was Cyrillic and also those three Arabic Letters.
