Last week my beloved iMac stopped working for good. It's been more than a decade of a fantastic relationship, but now I have to accept the fact that it won't be with me anymore... With that in mind, I've collected these vintage Mac icons, most (maybe all) made by the great Susan Kare in the best 80's. Curiously, you will see that many of them have remained until today with very few modifications, but others (that dot matrix printer, those faxes, those floppy disks...) have definitely passed into the History. I remember with particular displeasure the d*** Bomb, which appeared unexpectedly when the computer crashed -too frecuently- and you then lost all the work not saved manually. Freaky old times. My favourite character still being Clarus, the dogcow (at the Z, of course). Hope you like them.

This is a clone of Mac 3120 fontFont from Betrayal At Krondor, (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra On-Line. Bitmap typeface that starts and ends most chapters in the greatest computer RPG of all time, "Betrayal At Krondor". Now 100% accurate, thanks to Flowswitch at the xBAK forum. Based on "Venice" by Bill Atkinson (one of the the original Macintosh system fonts) and "Naples" from EA's 'Deluxe Paint II Enhanced'.
I really wanted a pixel version of the classic Monaco 9pt bitmap as the system Font doesn't play nice with Sketch if you want to keep the pixels. The punctuation has been rebuilt to make it match the original font in System 6 and given it a few spacing tweaks throughout. Renamed it Macano so it happily coexists with the system font.

Monaco is only available as a pre-installed font on Apple computers.
This font currently contains the FontStruct Basic Latin character set (ASCII + curly quotes). If it gets 100 downloads, I’ll add OpenType Std (Windows ANSI + Mac OS Roman) characters.
