This is a clone of Legend (SNES)Recreation of the pixel font from Taito's "Double Axle" (1991).
As this is my 1000th font (with most of them computer/game recreations, collated for The Video Game Font Preservation Society), it's worth noting why I chose this.
The arcade game itself is rather obscure, and not very good. However, the characters are, for the most part, very "classic arcade font" - though this font does have a few notable little quirks that make it unique (the weirdly slanted "0", the "8" with its offset counters, the mix of serif and sans serif). But most of all, what really struck me about the font is the colour treatment in game - a beautiful "desert chrome" rendition that just screams late 80s/early 90s.
This recreation uses the special OpenType SVG (TTF+SVG) format, which currently has limited support.
One minor tweak I made was to the "T", which had a very odd inbalance. Apart from that, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Note that the "Q" and "Z" didn't feature in the credits, so they're my custom additions.
Apart from these, only the characters used in the game have been included.
This is a clone of Super Metroid (Small Alt) (SNES)Recreation of the large pixel font from Capcom's "Final Fight" (1989).
This font is used in the intro cinematic. In the original, the double quotes are awkwardly split over two tiles. This recreation combines them into a single character. The recreation also corrects the missing antialiasing in the "3". However, it retains the original minus/dash (as seen in the character bio sheets), which is far too high.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. As the font relies on antialiasing, I did not create a separate monochromatic version of the font.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Recreation of the pixel font from Technōs/Leland Interactive Media's "Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls" (1994) on the SNES.

This small variant is only used on the title screen, the in-game stats, display, and in a few dialogues (specifically, when talking to the trees in GreenWood).
Note that the game only includes lowercase versions of accented characters (for the French and German translations), which are doubled-up and used instead of uppercase characters.
This recreation uses the special TTF+SVG format, which currently has limited support. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.
A few of the accented characters lacked a shadow in the game's tile set (presumably because they weren't actually used). In this recreation, I added in the shadow, based on similar characters that did.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Soul Blazer (Small)Recreation of the proportional version of the pixel font from Square/Nintendo's "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" (1996) on the SNES.
Some of the characters - "g", "j", "p", "q", "y", "?", and "!" - are different, compared to the monospaced variant. This font also includes additional characters - copyright, parentheses, left/right single quotes, "~", and japanese quotation marks.
This proportional version is used primarily for dialog boxes.

This is a clone of Super Mario RPG (Proportional)Recreation of the variant of the proportional pixel font from Square/Nintendo's "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" (1996) on the SNES.
Compared to the more common version of the proportional font, this variant - used primarily in the inventory tutorial at the start of the game - omits/crops the 1px outline on the left-hand side of many of the characters.

This is a clone of Super Mario RPG (Proportional) (Colour)Recreation of the small proportional pixel font from Square/Nintendo's "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" (1996) on the SNES.
This is used in the inventory menu for item descriptions.
Note that the font includes explicitly transparent "holes" for the grey-ish background of the inventory screen to show through. In the game, these holes are still counted as part of the characters for the outline - the dark blue outline goes around these transparent areas.
