Recreation of the pixel font from Square/Acclaim's "The 3-D Battles of WorldRunner" (aka "3-D WorldRunner", "Tobidase Daisakusen", 1987) on the NES.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This was meant to create a seamlessly striped background carrying letters, but user input and standard text on font's home page show quite a distance between lines; in fontructor preview letter-blocks sit seamlessly on top of each other to create interesting high rise blocks-of-letters.
Start text with 1 "space"!
A blocky font loosely based on Eurostile/Microgramma. I made a bunch of striped versions (you can see examples on the tilde glyph), but I don't know if it's worth publishing all of them.
This is a clone of Playhead A1Super4 - basic and more latin, including kerning after the "f" and before the "j".
I set out to create a regular pixel-based, square font. The unifying theme is the thicker vertical portion on most letters, most noticeable in the capitals, which are 4 pixels wide - hence the name Super4. It's my first font and I quite enjoyed working on it.
This font is not official so you can mess with it and do whatever. I just wanted to make art out something I wanted to learn. This is more of a dedicated vent than a profit. Plus, I am not doing anything official or commercial with this. I just was bored and thought: Make blind people a font on braille.
DEDICATED TO BLIND PEOPLE
People every day are blinded or born blinded. Not in a sense of "you are stupid" type blind. They are actually blind and need symbols popping out as dots to read. They feel the words. This is known as Braille. I am kinda learning the alphabet of braille and its importance.
So, one day, I sat down and thought: Why not make a font for braille?
I know they might never see this or feel this, but I wanted to make something to show how I thought since every language gets their front, why not braille?
Using "Fractal" and several other sources for braille, here is my font of braille.
It is known as The DiRECTOR
Directs blind people to know where they are going and helps them dive into books and imagine worlds they might have not ever seen. The "I" is short to look like the hand touching the braille in our normal next just like I went and touch the text they read.
Mess with this and surprise your friends and learn braille similar to how I am and how they are by typing with this font.
Like I stated before:
DEDICATED TO BLIND PEOPLE
Recreation of the pixel font from Square's "Rad Racer" (aka "Highway Star", 1987) on the NES.
This font includes special characters for "black right-pointing double triangle" (U+23E9), box drawing characters (U+2500, U+2502, U+256D - U+2570), and "beamed eigth notes" (U+266B).
The original font was incomplete - this recreation includes the addition of custom characters for "J", "X" and "Z" that attempt to match the same style. Apart from these, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS FONT IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON. I HAVE A BIGGER FONT TO WORK ON FOR THE TIME BEING.
YOU ARE FREE TO CLONE AND FINISH THIS FONT IF YOU WANT.
Finally done. Phew! It took two days to make this. This is a full collection of 5×7 Dot Matrix characters as seen on many devices, like Texas Instruments calculators. A lot of these are custom. Sources include TI-83, TI-86, TI-89, Casio Monochrome Graphing Calculators, Casio fx-115ES PLUS, and the rest, I created them myself. I included fractions for those themes on Microsoft Office don't have matching "1/3" and other fractions with the "1/4", "1/2", and "3/4". The fullwidth characters are substitutes for the other characters in the regular style, such as the math "x" and "y" from Casio.
Please note that character sets like Arabic and some Math Operators are beyond 5×7 pixels. If you want to know why? Because Arabic is very big and if I put it all in 5×7 pixels, the text will look weird, won't really fit inside, and there would be no point to it. I left it as is. Roman Numerals cannot fit if you were doing the "VIII" character, for example.
Enjoy!
8/28/2019: Font created.
1/7/2020: Added characters in the following form: Fullwidth and Halfwidth are used for making TI-73 Explorer characters, plus actual monospace setting characters. Note that Runic, Tagalog, and Hanunoo are replaced with character variants. The last variation of a character is from Minecraft's font. The fractions are also changed to level the line spacing. The wide "M" is never ever for use on Monospacing.
1/8/2020: More variations are added, extended to replace Buhid. I also added other math symbols and more. To type x̄, press unicode shortcut and type 01b2. To type ȳ, press unicode shortcut and type 01b3. I also added over a hundred, or two hundred, more characters to stock up on the font. Oh and I changed the filters to separate the pixels for a more pixel and retro look. Also fixed the spacing on the "Щ" character.
9/8/2020: Added a bunch of more characters to the font set.
8/25/2023: fixed the license so that the download works now.
I made this monospace font after watching several science fiction movies. Currently, the font only includes Basic Latin characters.
