Retrol takes the iconic look of '80s arcade titles and brings it to the next level.
With clean edges and angles not possible in its day, it's ready for the modern world.

This is a utility font that I'm making to facilitate legible button inputs for various games.
I got the idea when I was looking at a moves list for a fighting game.
To make a button, type a capital letter, then a lowercase letter.
The number keys make arrows (for now), so if you type "236FP", you successfully illustrate the basic "projectile" command of many fighting games.
I'm thinking of remapping the arrows somewhere, but for my current needs, the numbers are just fine.
I later will want to have numbers and blank halves so I can illustrate button inputs for other systems, like Wii and PS* (eg: "Button 1" and "R2").
You can even make TG16 buttons right now, (eg: "II", "IV", "VI"),
but I'll need to add more characters for the rest (blank half for "I" and "V", and a "III" button).
Hope you guys get a kick out of this, and sorry to anyone who's already had this idea. I didn't find your font, but I'd love to see it!

Inspired by "Micro", created by Syniphas, which is mostly composed of characters measuring 1x2 tiles (using composites), I decided to go for 2x2 tiles (no composites).
This is the result.
Possibly still in need of extra work.
Was considering turning each character into composites, thus making the palette composed of the font itself, but that seemed a little pointless since it would still look the same in the end.

"Graphs and Grids" is designed for practical use, and thus has a few odds and ends.
1. CAPS are VERTICAL, and LOWERCASE is HORIZONTAL.
2. Numbers are HORIZONTAL, but pressing SHIFT turns them VERTICAL.
3. Because of rule 2, certain characters have been moved to ALT-CODES.
ALT + 91x (where "x" is a number 0-9) will produce that number VERTICALLY.
ALT + 42x (where "x" is a number 0-9) will produce the symbol above that number (on your keyboard) VERTICALLY.
4. To write vertically, simply enter a letter and press ENTER to go down.
5. This is a work-in-progress, and any Comments and Criticism (C&C) are welcome.
Everything is complete for HORIZONTAL, and everything is done for VERTICAL except the symbols/punctuation that surround the ENTER key.
I'll figure a way to do those later.
