This is a faithful recreation of the original font used in the SNES RPGs developed by Quintet. There is already a popular font based on the game called Lunchtime Doubly So, but that one has none of the special characters used in the European localizations of the game, and also none of the original Japanese characters.
This trademark Quintet font appears in all their SNES RPGs (namely Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma), but with many little differences depending on the game at hand. Gaiatype is a recreation of the Terranigma typeface variant, to be exact, with its own spacing and character set.
Featuring all the European diacritic and extra glyphs as well as a complete set of all the hiragana and katakana characters from the original version of the game, called Tenchi Souzou in Japan, this marks my most extensive font to date with over 760 glyphs in total.
The base font size and recommended setting for Gaiatype is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Terranigma experience.
Terranigma on the SNES, known as Tenchi Souzou in Japan, was developed by Quintet and released by Enix in 1995.

Nintendo's "Super Mario World" (1990) on the SNES contains a maddening 5 pixel fonts. This is the recreation of the 7px tall font used for the game's message boxes and level names on the world map. UPDATE: in the game, the font has a 2px spacing to account for the outline. in this recreation, i opted to just go for a 1px spacing - if you do use it outlined, make sure to add the extra pixel for authenticity.
Update Sept. 2019: added some missing unused characters "?", "•", "(", ")" and fixed the incorrect "Q".

These elegant letters appear as the original main font used in the little-known tactical SNES RPG Gemfire, or Super Royal Blood in Japan.
Ishmeria is a faithful and exact recreation of said in-game font, expanded with hundreds of diacritic variants, number variations, additional bonus characters and various dingbat symbols. And that's not everything: all Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the original version are also included, making this one of my most extensive recreations to date.
The base font size and recommended setting for Ishmeria is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for an authentic pixel performance.

Recreation of the main pixel font from Jaleco's "Rival Turf!" (aka "Rushing Beat", 1992) on the SNES.
This font is used for the main menu, intro/outro cinematics, and end credits.
The font includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana characters. A few of the katakana characters were missing in the game's tile set, so I've attempted to include custom characters in a similar style. In the tile set, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in a line above their respective character. In this recreation, characters that use them are pre-combined into a single glyph.
With the exception of the few additional katakana glyphs, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

The character set of Tanzra includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants, numbers, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets and other Asian glyphs from the original Japanese version of the game. Every character that doesn't pop up in the game has been designed to match the look and feel of the base characters.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 15pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.
