A 7 segment font. Use uppercase for AM/C/F/PM. A = AM P = PM. Use lowercase for letters. Mainly used for the numbers.

Here is a version of my 6 segment display with a smaller symmetric design. This aids it in displaying the alphabet, as well as very full and normal looking numbers. I tried to give this one an aggressive futuristic design, using sharp corners and deep chamfers. I think I would rather use this font than Pylos (my last version), because that was more traditional in many of its design elements; this is designed to be a bit more of a departure.

I should also address the fact that multiple characters are missing, or wierd looking. That’s because of the limitations of the display, it’s not possible to do them all without more segments (it can manage as many as the traditional 7 segment, though!). For future versions or styles, I probably won’t keep doing more than the normal digits, but I thought it would be useful to do them a few times.

Lastly, a few notes. The white accents are just to show the edge of the segment, and aren't part of it (that’s why they disappear on isolated segments). The tilda shows an exploded video of the segments, just for reference.

Thanks!

This is a segmented display concept I’ve been tinkering with for the past couple years, utilizing a concept I call a “fused middle segment”. This is essentially where the side segments are extended to make up parts of the middle, removing a whole LED (this brings the number down to 6). While it has no purpose as a font, I wanted to try it out here to polish some stuff.

I should also address the fact that multiple characters are missing, or wierd looking. That’s because of the limitations of the display, it’s not possible to do them all without more segments (it can manage as many as the traditional 7 segment, though!). For future versions or styles, I probably won’t keep doing more than the normal digits, but I thought it would be useful to do them at least once.

Anyway, thanks! I would love feedback, and I will make sure to include it in the next versions!

A robust LCD digits with unusual segments.

This is a number font for 7-segment LCDs. The alphabet is not complete.

i legit did this in an hour ( filler upload )

update: added all english (uppercase and lowercase) letters

normal letters: ACEFGHIJLOPSUZabcdefghijlnopqrstuyz

compromised letters: KMVWXkmvwx

uppercase letters that look like lowercase: BDNQRTY

「#」all segments

This font idea popped into my head when I came across this YouTube video about segmented displays. The "X-O" LCD idea was the most fascinating to me and I challenged myself to try remaking it... and ended up completely revamping it to include "lowercase" letters, and improve legibility (for the most part)

This is a limited font, which has very few characters. This is based off of a 7 segment LCD display, and has a design that follows a format, unlike the other "7 segment display" fonts. Since this doesn't alter the design at all, it looks authentic and probably would work in an LCD. This is best used in all caps, but will work in lowercase.

Saw this font and wanted to make some.... adjustments to it

Attempt to render the Cyrillic alphabet using the 14-segment LCD screen. Really highlights how impractical the 14-seg is for Cyrillic text. All letters I couldn't "solve" are rendered as all-on. Most of the letters are taken from here https://helperbyte.com/questions/341983/display-the-cyrillic-alphabet-on-14-segment-display

* So that the FULL MATRIX can be revealed
 by enabling all the segments (33 layers)
 via "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW" 
(or any distribution of this full string).

Now you may 'fontstruct' my 25TH VERSION…
(the "MARS:BENZ" test showcases this one).

***
The expected final & plain VECTOR DESIGNS
could simply begin with rotating squares…
Even in this early and geometric step #0,
all the 33 segment areas would be similar.

33?!
1 BIT too many… try removing S00 yourself
(or merge by adding a 'separating value').

Use the glyph SPACING as usual in x and y
(even by kerning the variable width font).

I started drawing many V1 GLYPHS on April
(+ several ANIMATIONS for matrix testing).

The inherited 7-SEGMENT matrix is a LIMIT
(e.g. no added border for the diacritics).
