Sort of a semi recap of the lettering found on the second issue of Polish avant garde architectural magazine called "PRAESENS".
It got published throughout the first part of the previous century and was similar to other magz from that era such as: DeStijl, Wendingen & Het Overzicht.
It's not super accurate but still a fairly recognizable and cool looking type. I already made a pro version of this lettering in the past with FontLab Studio, which closely capturing the exact original design.
This is a cloneA monospace font that mimicks the OSDs of yore. Some glyphs have been taken from datasheets for old character generator integrated circuits, most notably the ST Microelectronics STV5730 and the Fujitsu MB90097, and others have been modified or created from scratch.
Special characters:
¤ (U+00A4) = Clock/Loading symbol
§ (U+00A7) = Satellite
› (U+203A) = Play/Right arrow
‹ (U+2039) = Left Arrow
· (U+00B7) = Pause
¯ (U+00AF) = Stop
• (U+2022) = Record
¨ (U+00A8) = Eject
º (U+00BA) = SP Tape Speed
ª (U+00AA) = LP Tape Speed
∕ (U+2215) = EP Tape Speed
Pixel-perfect point-sizes are multiples of 15 (30, 45, 60, etc.)

It's still a work-in-progress, and it's [m]y first time using FontStruct, so any criticism is welcome and appreciated.
Version 1.2: Added Greek and Polish. I'll try Cyrillic for the next version once I work out how to make Cyrillic that is both accurate and in keeping with this design.

An attempt to do large rounded shapes using only the stock FS bricks.
A font I designed for the animation series, "The Boris Barkov Show". This is made to look blocky and industrial, but still fairly modern. It's mostly built on a 5x5 grid, and is perfectly useable as a pixel font, but is meant for high-res applications.
The show's titlecards only use this font in uppercase. But, I designed a lowercase for the sake of accessibility.
The show is about a stereotypically Russian, mustachioed, ushanka-wearing pug named Boris Barkov. Apart from speaking both English and Russian, he's able to play the video game "Escape From Tarkov", wield a sword and rifle, and carry and throw objects despite his lack of opposable thumbs. His nemesis is PugB (the Americanized "Rambo" pug) and he's rumored to have shady dealings with Sam Yippington, the Latvian Dachsund arms dealer...
Recreation of the pixel font from Data East's bizarre "Trio the Punch - Never Forget Me..." (1990). Includes an almost complete set of hiragana and katakana. Only the character present in the game's tile set have been included.
