Some time after I decided to unleash Pixelbabania VI Deluxe onto the world, I deemed it appropriate to also create a light version to go alongside it. Had a good bit of fun making sure things looked right with this font, which also explains why I decided to fix its sister font while I was at it.

Here it is, at last. And just in time for the start of a new season, wherever in the world you all are.

4/12/2023 : Fixed up a few more glyphs of Box Drawing to make them work proper with their fellow glyphs.

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.

I took a look at the very first font I published and looking back at it now, I couldn't help but think I could have done better and gone much further with it. Having learned a few things along the way when I was working on the light version of Pixelbabania, I decided to invest some time into working on a much improved version of Pixelbabania VI, while once again following a self-imposed limitation. This time, I decided to go with 6x9 (with some exceptions) to allow a bit more wriggle room and to make characters with accents much nicer, and even decided to change up some of the characters to improve their look. Not only this, I decided I'd try and see if it was possible to add more characters from other sets and thus far, it had gone quite nicely.

After so much time on and off, now I share with you the fruits of my labor and love.

Note: I have done what I could to get N'ko and to a lesser extent Adlam to play nice; unfortunately I could not get the tone marks to actually just go above or below the characters properly, therefore they will take residence right next to the character, taking up another space. Apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who type in those languages.

04/12/23 : Fixed up a few more glyphs in Box Drawing to make them look and work proper with the others.

Some time after having published Pixelbabania VI, then had a look at another font called Futura and saw its light version, I thought to myself, what if I made a lighter version of this font?

I then decided to hunker down and get to work on making this, feeling the flow of creation pour out.

I do hope you all enjoy downloading and using this as much as I enjoyed making and sharing with all.

After having finished creating Pixelbabania VI, I thought to myself, why not make a version of this font, but with the height restricion removed for those who don't like having foreign characters squished up?

Even added Japanese Katana and Hiragana characters into the mix.

27/4/22 - Came across two glyphs that needed a bit of fixing, the registered sign, which was a width over, and Single Low-9 Quotation Mark, which needed to be moved a pixel down.

Something I had been on and and off again working on for some time, making sure everything looked alright before I so much as thought about placing this creation onto here for all to witness.

Decided to impose a limit on myself when creating this font, such as width and height after being inspired by seeing translations of old video games. I had to get a bit creative with some of the characters and how I could make them look good without butchering them too badly.

I do hope you enjoy using this font as much as I enjoyed making it.

7/4/22 - Decided to add a VI to the name of the font, after the width I limited myself to using.
