Carthage Sans LKE is an expanded version of my Carthage Sans font, which in itself is a reimagining of Apple's Espy Sans 12 bitmap font. It aims to cover as much as possible of the Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek blocks of the Unicode standard (thus the initials -- "Latina, Kirilitsa, Elleniki"). I'm open to expanding it to any of the other scripts Unicode covers, but I have little to no personal experience with most other alphabets; if you'd like to contribute, I'd particularly be interested in Arabic, Devanagari, Katakana, Hiragana, Armenian, and Hangul. (I would like to add Hebrew as well, but it's hard to get the diacritics right in what's essentially a pixel font. We'll see.) The current status as of 10/28/2015 (the date of initial publication):
-Latin: all of Latin-1, Latin Extended-A, and "Even More Latin"; Latin Extended-B is missing some characters that seem to be mostly either phonetic notation or obsolete.
-Greek: All Greek characters supported by FontStruct. If you need some of the ancient dialect characters like Pamphylian digamma, they're now in the GitHub version; polytonic will appear there as well, if anyone asks for it. Basic Coptic support is there, although I tried to fit it into the Espy Sans aesthetic rather than trying to duplicate the Byzantine-Egyptian traditional style.
-Cyrillic: Still a work in progress, but all Slavic languages using Cyrillic characters should be covered. The main holdup is Abkhazian, which is spoken by just over 110,000 people in the world and also has one of the longest alphabets in the world; I have no idea how many of them would be interested in this, so it hasn't been a huge priority. (Besides, the PT family from Russia's Paratype is excellent and far better than I could do with most Cyrillized languages.) I've emphasized support for several languages, the most important being Vietnamese (75 million speakers deserve some support no matter how tedious it is to do so).
I've also added characters for Old Irish, Old Church Slavonic, and Icelandic. There's a number of characters used in pan-African linguistics I am not sure if I need or not; they'll get filled in eventually alongside the Cyrillic, but how fast I have no idea.

I am deeply indebted to Keith Martin (@thatkeith on Twitter), formerly of the UK MacUser magazine, and his Espy Sans Revived project for a reference for the original letter bitmaps; Carthage is entirely my work but it's hard to find Espy Sans specimens in the wild, and his work is probably the best.
This is a clone of Carthage SansWebFont is SIL Open Font License freeware (version 1.0). If you like it for a website, you can use it as a web font. You can clone it, download it, whatever. Hopefully, if you use it as a web font, you will add a link to my site, Font-Journal (https://www.Font-Journal.com), in the credits of your website or blog (professional sites & blogs give credit for the resources used that aren't theirs), if you use it or distribute it, but that is not required.
You can edit, modify, append or do whatever you need to do with this font, including using it commercially or in creating your own art/graphic works, even a new version of the font as long as all further redistributed derivatives use a new reserved font name and remain under the same "SIL Open Font License".
This is a freeware font, it should never be sold, unless it is included as bonus freeware part of a paid collection. WebFont is FREE.
Supports a large latin character set (lots of latin), with extras like the Copyright, Trademark, Tel: symbols, currency signs and an assortment of little Dingbats. I try to use Dingbats for the UI when I design websites, so I included a few without weighing the font down too much, it still loads quickly. Loading a vector based font for UI stuff is a lot easier and quicker than loading graphic files.
Any questions, character requests? Go ahead and ask!
If you see anything that needs to be addressed, be sure to shout out at me, I'll see if I can fix stuff. - Doug Peters, Symbiotic Design

This was a tiny bitmap font for a game.
Then I added a bunch of glyphs to support most European languages: Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.
Then, inspired by a recent trip to Georgia, I added Mkhedruli characters just for fun (never really saw a pixelated Georgian font before, so I figured, why not).
And so now this exists.
Also, check out Eneminds Thin for the non-bold version of this font.
Okay, this is the second not-so-blocky version. I'm currently working on special characters. If you want any, commet me them, and the language(s) they're used in. It's currently version 1.0; you can only type English in it.
I'm planning on adding
German, French, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Faroese, Icelandic, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, and Estonian Characters, if not more. Maybe I'll even do Cyrillic and Greek letters too.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog- Version 1.1:
"My Native Language Update...?"
-Switched H and U for a better making of special characters
-Added german special characters: Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, ü, ß, and ẞ.
-re-designed ? and !.
-and other minor changes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2
"Friend's Native Language Update by his Request"

----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.3
"Scandinavian Update 1"

Next up: Icelandic, Faroese, and after that Hungarian.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.3.5
"Scandinavian Update 2"
-Added Icelandic and Faroese Special Characters; made eth like a strange-looking D, and made a completely new design for thorn. Added the grave-accents.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.4
"Ugric-Finnic Update 1"
Since Finnish characters have already been added, I'm pleased to say that hungarian ones are now aswell. I should probably just stick with latin-written Uralic languages; what I mean by that, Estonian and maybe Sami Characters next.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.5
"Esperanto Update"
Someone requested this. Have fun!
This project is dead. I'd appreciate it if you'd check out my new Unicode-Project, "Maxenisei". Thank you.
So, I did this today in nearly one session. Yep, all latin characters in one session. It was waaaaay more work than it looks like.
But I think it still looks pretty decent...
And you can literally write any language which uses the latin script with it.
Cyrillic and Greek may be coming soon.
and I tried making every character 5 pixels high. Just things like diaresis, accents, etc. may make it higher than that.
The idea is to read other alphabets as if they were Roman.
This is a clone of CheckovsFunHere is an extended version of my Atemayar Rigid Script. This script has taken me years to get to the point where it is. It is incomplete however I figured I would release it with the current list of characters that I have created. While I plan to complete it, it will be some time before this is achieved so please bear with me as life tends to get in the way sometimes.
I began this font August 31, 2017, and I'm releasing it 30 days short of its 2 year anniversary.
Based off the original alphabet of Atemayar Qelisayér featured on Omniglot created by Simon Halfdan Hvilshøj Andersen. Credit for all the original characters of this alphabet goes to him, as well as credit for inspiration. Some characters in this alphabet are wholly original to this font (most are not however), these are inspired wholly by the original Atemayar alphabet in one way or another.
I truly and sincerely hope you enjoy, this font is made for all to enjoy and to spread such a beautiful alphabet to be used for all languages and all writing systems. I love Atemayar more than any existing writing system, I take all my notes in it, and I wish that Simon Halfdan Hvilshøj Andersen's alphabet will be spread around the world and used by many.
The alphabets can be categorized into groups based on the following criteria:
- Pseudo-Atemayar: shares no letters with Atemayar, but appears similar
- Semi-Pseudo-Atemayar: shares a few characters with Atemayar, but overall still looks like its base alphabet and can't be read by Atemayar users
- Modified Atemayar: Follows all/most of the same letters as Atemayar, however has added or modified letters as well
- Classic Atemayar: Original Atemayar alphabet without change
The alphabets' classifications are as follows:
Basic Latin: Classic (except X, which is a ligature of K and S)
Punctuation (all except . , : ; ? ! ... " '): Modified
More Latin: Modified
Extended Latin B: Modified
Extended Latin A: Modified
Greek & Coptic: Modified
Cyrillic: Modified
Arabic: Modified (reversed letters)
Devanagari: Modified (line above letters)
Georgian: Semi-Pseudo
Armenian: Semi-Pseudo
Katakana: Modified
Hebrew: Modified (reversed letters) ***Incomplete***
Hangul: Pseudo ***Incomplete***
Bopomofo: Modified (dots above letters, ligatures)
Thai: Pseudo ***Incomplete***
I am going to expand this font. Why not, after all? It is my best work so far.
