Recreation of the hiragana and katakana pixel fonts from Konami's "Akumajō Densetsu" (aka "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse", 1987) on the Nintendo Famicom.
This font is only used on the title screen, intro story crawl, and dialog boxes - otherwise, the game uses a standard "Nintedoid" type font like https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/676742/nintendoid_1. In contrast, the western release uses a single stylised font throughout - see https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/682911/castlevania_3_1.
In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
The game also uses a handful of actual kanji characters - however, due to their limited number and usefulness, these have not been added in this recreation.

Note that in the game, the dakuten and handakuten are rendered as a character on the preceding line, while this recreation includes characters with these diacritics in the correct position in the correct character codepoints themselves - for this reason, the characters themselves are taller than 8 pixels.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Here 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 remember fondly playing Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls on the Game Boy Advance, FF1 in particular one of my favourite of the two games, which I had replayed a good number of times. As I became curious about the game once again, I started looking it up and started gazing at the fonts used, started looking up the font for it, and came across a resource sheet that contained all the characters for both Basic Latin and other languages, then I started to think about how the font changed looks in certain characters in other titles, such as the 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV and The 4 Heroes of Light, both games released for the Nintendo DS. I started thinking to myself, what if there was a monospaced version of this font?
And so, I got to work, thinking how it would all look if Square Enix indeed decided to go monospace for all the characters intstead of only the numbers for the GBA FF games and even had most of the small letters and even numbers expand horizontally by one pixel and even went the extra mile to add Greek, Coptic, Cyrillic and even Hiragana and Katakana. Not content with this, I even decided to add in a few extra things and even decided to add in characters used in computers of old, namely Box Drawing and Block Elements.
A bit of a "quick" project that I am finally happy to release onto the world.
5/12/23 : Fixed up some glyphs in the Box Drawing set. Now they should look nicer and fit with the rest good and proper.
