Still preoccupied with simple typefaces that could have come from a dot matrix printer. Here's another new design.

A slightly modified version of the small font used on the TI-83 and TI-84 calculator families.

Beauty from imperfection...
Using the "nudge" tool, I tried to make a dot matrix font where it looks like the print-head was damaged and the pins were consistently mis-aligned. Using a spreadsheet to help randomize the dot positions from center ( U/D/L/R ), the resulting effect looks merely "OK" on the screen; it's just not as subtle as I had hoped...
But you know what? I printed a couple of pages of text using this TTF font at 12-pt, and it seems to have a more 'natural' and 'authentic' look than dots that are perfectly aligned! So, I consider this one a success, and I hope you do, too. ;^)

Based on Goatmeal's font "Wonky Pins" I added most of the 'More Latin' set to my clone.
When I asked Goatmeal about cloning, he sent me the following information which might be helpful to anybody wanting to publish their extended version of Wonky Pins:
Quote:"" I have the original complete 5x9 "wonky" character pattern block in the À [[note from Aeolien: I have moved this block to the micro symbol µ !!!]]position. Copy the block to the Latin letters you need, and then start removing dots to make the glyphs!
That way, the pattern is set and matches up like it is truly a "repeating" pattern for the pin strikes -- that's how I made the main characters. ""This is a clone of Wonky Pins
