i tried to make a typeface just like brutal clones
A simple remake of my original Brixel, but made to be monospace and 8x8
(-Currently being extended-)
Working In Progress. More glyphs coming soon.
How to use:
Each letter is mapped based on KSX 5002 keyboard, which is the most common way to type korean. It is modified so that it can distinguish between jongseong(under) letters and choseong(upper) letters. Here is how it is mapped:
( [a,b] [a,b,c] a:original key b:mapped letter c:shifted letter )
( "ㅂ":Choseong ㅂ "_ㅂ":Jongseong ㅂ )
[1,_ㅂ] [2,_ㅈ] [3,_ㄷ] [4,_ㄱ,_ㄲ] [5,_ㅅ,_ㅆ]
[q,ㅂ,ㅃ] [w,ㅈ,ㅉ] [e,ㄷ,ㄸ] [r,ㄱ,ㄲ] [t,ㅅ,ㅆ] [y,ㅛ] [u,ㅕ] [i,ㅑ] [o,ㅐ,ㅒ] [p,ㅔ,ㅖ]
[a,ㅁ,_ㅁ] [s,ㄴ,_ㄴ] [d,ㅇ,_ㅇ] [f,ㄹ,_ㄹ] [g,ㅎ,_ㅎ] [h,ㅗ] [j,ㅓ] [k,ㅏ] [l,ㅣ]
[z,ㅋ,_ㅋ] [x,ㅌ,_ㅌ] [c,ㅊ,_ㅊ] [v,ㅍ,_ㅍ] [b,ㅠ] [n,ㅜ] [m,ㅡ]
So basically how it mapped is:
1. Everything except for jongseong letters is mapped the same
2. Jongseong letters are mapped in shifted key, except for ㅂ, ㅈ, ㄷ, ㄱ, ㅅ which already has shifted key (double letters). jongseong letters of ㅂ, ㅈ, ㄷ, ㄱ, ㅅ are mapped in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and ㄲ, ㅆ's are mapped in $, %.
This is the sequel to "Petermax's 3x5 and 4x6," with almost twice the number of characters. Many small changes have been made, especially improving the readability of the Vietnamese vowel characters. Various writing systems have been added: Tifinagh, Coptic, Ol Chiki, Runes, and Ogham. I also gave connected scripts a try: N'Ko, Mongolian, and Mandaic. Obviously these are not perfect, but I see them as a major improvement to the first. In this version, I was also able to add some extra Latin phonetics as well as some few Cyrillic diacritics. Some things are definitely out of control, as this program isn't completely compatable with right-left alphabets, such as Arabic, Mandaic, and N'Ko. If anything sticks out that should be improved, please let me know. Thank you, and please enjoy! :)

This is possibly the biggest font I will ever create, and probably the one I'm most proud of at that. The original was built over the course of 4 months, and I'm very, very happy with how it turned out. Along with all of the 25 basic categories, I included 23 of my own - some finished, some unfinished. This has been a long process, sometimes fun, sometimes tiring, but I hope you find this font useful. Luckily, with all of the scripts it works with, it should have a use for everyone :) Please enjoy!
I am open to comments, suggestions and any other feedback. If you would like me to add another script, I am open to the task! :)
Edit: It's been more than a year and I'm still going strong! 6731 characters total. Trying to knock-off some smaller / less used scripts. :)
Jan 22, 2024: Fully finished font! 7500 total characters.
Thanks to everyone who has liked or downloaded! :)
