Lowercase only!
This font used to be the lowercase for Spacekapitan. I cloned Spacekapitan so I could keep this, then reworked Spacekapitan into what it is now. Then I continued working on this font to make it the best it could be, and here we see the result. It has almost nothing but 90-degree angles.
This is mostly built around a 5x5 square which makes its way into most glyphs in some way or another.
I think this would make a good companion font for "Your Quota".
This is a clone of SpacekapitanAnother 5x5 pixel design. This one splits one line or intersection per letter for most letters, leading to a tech/sci-fi look.
Only the comma is allowed to go below the line; all other glyphs fit onto the 5x5 grid. Because this font is quantized to the grid, diacritic accents won't be possible. Feel free to move the comma above the line to suit your global matrix.
Original size: 3.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A minimalist Gemscript (or a corrupted one, depending on who you ask).
It has no relation to Pigpen Cipher, although a few glyphs do look like they're from that cipher. Feel free to use this fact to throw amateur cryptographers off for amusement.

I came up with an original high-res design, then brickswapped to turn everything into square bricks. The result sort of reminds me of Proxima Punch Pixel Squared, but less art deco and more computer-esque. It has a really old and naive look to it which could make it good for retro-terminal use.
"Buttons Foe" = "Obtuse Font". Not only is it an obtuse font in look and construction, it's reminescent of an era when computers were thought of as adversarial, magic voodoo boxes. So both the name and the anagram are equally applicable. :^)
A mostly-4x5 design made for legibility, aesthetics, and an almost authoritarian regularity. This makes it suited for comics, tutorials, general reading, and more. It can be easily read at its original size with the same effort it would take to read a high-res design of the same size.
This design has been tested and reported to make an excellent font for IRC and other chat clients!

Font used for rAIn, shipboard AI of the RGS-1 Rainbow Loop. This will also likely be used in FLAK materials, as well.
A vaguely Courierlike OSD (Onscreen Display) font which tries its best to be casual. The name is inspired by the old computer joke: "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?"
No filters or faux-beziers, just stock bricks and a bit of stacking/nudging!

More about the design:
It started as a doodle and an attempt to make a smooth, low-resolution, low-poly font, and then it became a Courierlike. I have other fonts that tried to do polygonal round shapes before this (such as Cartoon Riot) but this design is my first real success in this area.
Initially, I made the angled glyphs before the round ones. I didn't want to change the angled ones, so glyphs like C, O, and Q became a bit wider than they are tall. I'm quite fond of this, because in most designs these glyphs tend to have a tall and narrow character. I think the mildly squat look of this font makes it cuter and gives it more personality.
A lot of glyphs were altered in specific ways to look more like metal type, especially anything with diacritics which touch the letters themselves. Other glyphs were altered specifically to be interpretable at small size. I also use angled contours and actual round bricks alongside each other within the same glyphs, another technique which is geared toward style and interpretability at small size.
This font came with many new challenges and an array of new techniques had to be designed. Loops were an insurmountable challenge because of the low resolution and heavy line weight, so I drew rounded areas to suggest them. You can see it on letters like Greek γ, ζ, and ξ.
Trying to achieve maximum readability and symbol differentiation within a reasonable size.
This is a clone of CatseyeCode7x15R5 x 7 font in scanlines style.
Here's a recreation of a font that is very near and dear to my heart. I found it was actually quite a fun challenge to match each character as closely as I could, but I did take a few liberties on the punctuation characters especially.
For this font I decided to do several things I almost never do with other pixel fonts.
First is the use of an 8*8 grid. I consider this size tough to work with so I tend to stay away from it, preferring X*7 or X*9.
Second is the rounding or softening of all 90° angles. 3- and 4- way intersections are exempt from this rule. However, some other acute angles were rounded as well.
Third is kerning, which helps ease this font back into microfont territory a bit by reducing excess space. I usually design pixel fonts so they don't need this, but not this time!
Fourth is the embrace of asymmetry throughout most letterforms, which is almost a natural consequence of making a font on the 8*8 grid.
Fifth is extending MmWw. I usually try to truncate these letters to fit my grid. Sometimes I make a symmetrical design for them, but this time I just let 'em sprawl.
Despite all these differences in methodology, I think this font looks rather like a hybrid of "Marengi" and "AMFA". Very pleased with the result!
An experimental 12-segment display, and my 100th published Fontstruction. It's the calculator of yesterday's future!
This one belongs to a small family called Calculatrix.
This font is monospaced to ensure segments are always where they "should" be (as if the text were printed on one giant display).
An alternate system font for the Virtual Gremlin, a software-based games prototyping system I wrote in 2016-2017. This font ended up never being used.
This was only able to be recovered due to the advent of a lucky screenshot which a friend posted online. The font was in a spritesheet which was being shown off, so I was able to FontStruct it!
A stencil design in which diagonal cuts are used to imply angles and curves. It does not quite obey the rules of a segmented display, but it tries its best!
This is inspired by some text I put on the side of the Sheepslayer Mk.2, a flying dragon car piloted by Lyll "Hatch" Soretti in my game Seven Candles.
A variant of Micro Machina which is made to be more open, more consistent, and simpler in geometry than the original.
Having become accustomed to reading the original Micro Machina, I'm not sure if this version is actually more readable or not. Some might prefer it...
Version 1.1: KRX were modified to be more readable at small size, MQW14'"@ were edited for style, Basic Latin band completed, More Latin band underway.

A font made by request for an author of custom Warhammer 40K modules.
PC Font recreations: "Terminal" (Style 7, coding is OEM/DOS)
The final "Terminal" font style!
This font only appears in Notepad, MS Paint and nowhere else, so replicating it might be a good idea.
The most amazing thing about this font is that it changes its style depending on the chosen font size. "More Latin" (possibly) coming soon.
