What began nearly 8 years ago as an experiment in multi-stage, multi-resolution pixel serif type drafting (starting smallish then manually upscaling x4), took on the robust character you see here after countless edits and some tricky lessons learned along the way.
The initial weight was on the light side (cloned privately for posterity), so I took a leap into this bookish weight by fattening each glyph copy-pasted 1 pixel shifted both up and to the right. A rudimentary technique, by no means novel, yet almost wholly effective. I saw fit from here to only make a handful of corrections, keeping the slightly rounded and slanted serif shape that resulted as well as the subtle reenforcing of a pen-nib construction.
More intriguing is the 1-bit “anti-aliasing” scheme I found myself progressively guided toward while finding the lines of these curves developing the initial light weight. Implied diagonals and said curves – as well as refinement of contrast – are substantially more granular and specific than had I taken a black-and-white posterized, or stairstepped approach.
At half-resolution, the resulting smoothness is acceptible. This type of hinting will be useful in developing a substitution rule set consisting of subpixel slanted or curved bricks to produce a “vectorized” version.
Indeed, such a process could be purely automated by a proficient developer or properly trained neural network (this would be a really interesting future feature for fontstruct pro – rather than hinting a font after painstaking vector construction, why not reverse the process by way of en vogue ai-assisted upscaling?).
Basic accented charaters and numerals are being added as I churn through the extended character set...

anything goes in this book-style pixel font. it is for secret project.
maximum of 11 pixels tall (plus 3 px descender below)
====================================
[1.7d] Still working on CJK and Hangul. Still not even halfway there!!!
[beta 1.7c] More CJK, Aboriginal Canadian Syllabics, Bengali
[beta 1.7b] More CJK but still not nearly enough
[beta 1.7a] I found a stray pixel which stretched the font two pixels too high. It's gone now.
[beta 1.7] ??? stuff? korean jamo, like 0.3% more of the CJK, Greek Extended, and one of the East Asian scripts (the name I forgot :<)
[beta 1.6d] assorted CJK and symbols
[beta 1.6c] devanagari (hindi script), thai
[beta 1.6b] thai and other junks. some characters improved
WORK IN PROGRESS!! ):) (:(
Sorry if the sone of the Kanji is unreadable, but I have to do it within an 8x8 grid...
6200 Glyphs Reached!!
Any double vowels or vowels where there is a consanant in between them should NOT be used!!
Tamil: Use with Consanants: For the O, Use E + Consonant + Aa; for the Oo, Use Ee + Consonant + Aa; For the Au, Use E + Consonant + Au Length Mark. Use the vowels itself: For the Au, Use Oo + Vowel Sign Au Length Mark
Malayalam: Use with Consonants: For the Ai, Use E + E + Consonant; for the O, Use E + Consonant + Aa; For the Oo, Use Ee + Consonant + Aa, for the Au, Use E + Consonant + Au Length Mark. Use the vowels itself: For the Ii, Use I + Au Length Mark; for the Uu, Use U + Au Length Mark, for the Ai, Use Vowel Sign E + E, for the Oo, Use O + Vowel Sign Aa, for the Au, use O + Vowel Sign Au Length Mark.

This typeface was made for my college task, typography 2. This typeface was meant to describe a stall named 'Cak Roni' that serves meatball or which is called as 'Bakso' in Indonesia. I made bold character as I know that bakso has big and round character.
This typeface adopted from one of Indonesian food, called gado-gado. Gado-gado is a salad of raw and cooked vegetables in a spicy peanut sauce, often served with fried tofu and hard boiled eggs. I made this typeface inspired by the peanut sauce.
An original Art font that uses the tops, bottoms & sometimes middles of a font to communicate the character. This requires users to read texts as opposed to scanning them, but because visual cues are available it is still legible.

This is sort of a functional font version of the Led Zeppelin font logo (in TTF). The _ low line is actually an end cap for the L, Z & lowercase letter underlines.
