commission for starstruck (@starstruckboye on twitter).
The main language seen in the videogame Stray, used by the robots as communication. However it's more of a cipher than a proper language. Therefore it can be transformed into a font/typeface for people to use.
Glyphs:
98
Version History:
9/5/2022 - First Release, only basic latin.
Original typeface credit given to developers of the game Stray, I only take credit for the portions added onto the already existing typeface.
Experimental mosaic... or maybe a new mineral species?
This one started as a doodle. I began placing circles to see what kinds of complex shapes I could make, and this was the result.
It achieves a new visual effect at almost every size up to the original. Also try slowly moving the zoom slider for some interesting animations!

This font is now nearly 1MB in size! I guess it has to do with the intrinsic complexity of circles.
Re-creation of Technik®, a one-weight typeface originally designed by German design studio Bionic Systems™ in 2001. This re-creation contains 2 weight : Technik® Display, best for titles, and Technik® Text, best for small text.

A single line is bent on itself to trace letterforms in 5x5.
This is part of my "IVO" series (Inline Versus Outline) wherein inline and outline elements are split, merged, and altered to make them ambiguous and to allow new styles to emerge. They may look like maze fonts, but they have a different design methodology altogether.
My first serious attempt at a font. Please leave comments and constructive criticism. My vision for this font is to be somewhat hard-to-read, futuristic, abstract, and modern.
initial concept inspired by Drum and Bass LDR by Neoqueto. there is an alternate 'L' in the lowercase that looks better with double l's on words like 'yellow' as the regular 'L' looks weird when there is more than one.
ultra grooves. these letters connect to each-other. you can use the '-' to connect letters from the top, and '_' to connect letters from the bottom. not all letters will connect, so try experimenting with the upper/lower cases to see which alts will connect to each other. i did my best to come up with as many combinations as possible, but if i missed any that you think could work, please let me know.
A neat language of combining letters to create even more unique characters. Based on some languages like Armenian. Work in progress.
A chimera (fusion) which combines inline-versus-outline, maze, Gemscript, and other techniques to produce a timeless look.

Original size: 6.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
Design Rules:
1. Square bricks only.
2. A 1px soft border of negative space must exist between lines whenever possible.
3. Glyphs must fill the 9x9 grid to the greatest extent possible given the rounded style.
4. The set of glyphs shall be a heterogeneous mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical forms.
5. Negative space will replace positive in any situation wherein the small grid size or the geometry of a letterform would be detrimental to the chosen style. This includes all situations where any shape lacks at least a soft 1px border of negative space around it.

Nirvanite Fossil with round shapes changed to diamonds.
I think this one is the toughest to read in the family - even harder than Nirvanite Pixel. Oh well!
This is a clone of Nirvanite FossilA highly abstract, mandala-like segmented display which turns bodies of text into primitive starfields, complete with constellations, planets, and space debris. As it turns out, there are quite a lot of ways to write, draw, and encode information with this! Check out the sample text views and try preparing some text of your own in the User Input field.
The name, and the background of the sample art, are inspired by some art/lore from a friend. <3
I might make more designs like this for generating different kinds of art/textures. If I do, I'll probably scramble the display pieces among the alphabet. I didn't with this one, and for certain kinds of text input, that might show.
