This is my first fontstruction for a typeface project at UWE. I chose to make a font under the theme “repetition” and wanted to create a simple, pixel art styled typeface with certain continuous elements in it to make my theme clear for the viewer. 1Lifer is a display font inspired of gaming culture, especially the 80s' classic arcade games, such as Tetris, early Super Mario Bros. and Space Invaders. I found the tiled shapes used in these games as a helpful resource to creating my own font – 1Lifer is also made from simple, pixel based forms. I was also inspired by the gaming arcades' bright, blinking lights. The name of the font stems from terms in relation to gaming and is a playful merge between the two expressions "1 up" and "no lifer."

Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Crazy Balloon" (1980).
Fundamentally very similar to "Space Invaders" (1978), but with notable differences in the "K" and "0" (same as Exidy's "Rip Cord"), as well as "A", "G", "7" and some of the punctuation marks.
This font was reused in Taito's "Space Seeker" (1981) with only a minor variation in the copyright symbol.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.This is a clone of Space Invaders (extended)

Font based on the lettering used in the PS3/XBox/iOS game Space Invaders Infinity Gene. Intended as a pixel font, best looking at very small sizes.
I DO NOT OWN THIS FONT, I SIMPLY RECREATED IT.

Recreation of the pixel font used in Exidy's "Rip Cord" (1979).
Almost exactly the same as Exidy's "Robot Bowl" (1977) - which in turn seems to have inspired Taito's "Circus" (1977) and "Space Invaders" (1978) - with the most prominent difference in the letter "K" and the overall lack of punctuation/special characters.

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).
