A combination of blackletter and building blocks. Inspired by little kid's blocks. Descenders on A,H,K,N,R are meant to be there, I felt like adding them. :) This is also my first attempt at blackletter.

The next generation of pixel8. In this version the lower-case letterforms have a more consistent x-height, and—oh yeah—there's a full upper-case.
January 2011 revision:
• renamed "pixel8b" to "pixel8 rev B"
• tweaked the legibility of the percent sign and the lower-case x
• redrew curly braces to differentiate from parenthesis
•added ff ligature on accent grave key
•fixed some kerning issued with comma and parenthesesThis is a clone of pixel8

Did the world need another low-res typeface? I don't know but I did it anyway. Originally, I only needed a few letters and I planned this to be just a pixel-style design. I only intended to use it as a display font at larger sizes. But as I worked on it, I got inspired to make it hold up at smaller sizes, too.
I wanted to be very minimal but still infuse it with a little more life than a lot of (low-res) sans serifs. Corners were rounded where possible, and I tried to invoke some old style characteristics like the looped g and bent lower-case t. I also like the variation in the x-height; some are 5px reaching above the waistline, but most are only 4px. I could have made them all 5, but this creates some more interesting word shapes.
It's lower-case only at this point; upper-case is on its way. Hopefully non-lining numerals and more punctuation, too.
The name is a play on words that relates to the 8-pixel cap-height.

More pxl love. And another expansion of Lex Kominek’s Trajedy majuscules.
The freshness of the original charmed me into creating an extended set of matching miniscules, diacritics, symbols and ligatures. But why stop there? :^)This is a clone
