This font is based on the work of Brian Swetland and Robey Pointer, see http://robey.lag.net/2010/01/23/tiny-monospace-font.html and as noted on that page, this is under the MIT, CC-BY 3.0 or CC0 license.

Printable, is, as you might expect, a font designed to be easily printable. In this case, I designed this font to easily work with 3D printers.

There are no floating components that would fall out, if you were to make cutouts of letters. Also, all lines are of uniform width to allow single line printing.

Feel free to use this font for any personal projects. However, if you plan on using this for projects that may, even indirectly (youtube videos, webpage ads, etc.) earn money, please contact me first so we can come to an agreement. Thank you for understanding, and I hope this font serves you well.

If anybody has any suggestions on how I might improve this font, please let me know.

Inspired by Metal Gear Rising: Revengence title font.

This font is made to be compatible only with triangular pixel LCDs.

This is my attempt to make the smallest possible font. Each character fits inside a 3x3 pixel square (4x4 pixels if you include the space between characters).  This font can be useful where pixel space is at a premium, like on an LED matrix or a mechanical display.

I don't consider this a truly complete font because there is no distinction between the capital letters and small letters. Also, some of the special characters can be difficult to descern without context. Nevertheless, this font can create readable text strings and convey information using a minimum of resources.

5x5 pixel serif design with no wasted matrix AND no kerning! For a long time I didn't think such a design was possible, but here it is.

A font limited to a 3x3 grid. It can be read with some practice. Cool for semi-readable runes in pixel-style games. Each alphabet character maps to another alphabet character when rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

An even smaller and more stylized take on Madcat/Madkitten. It isn't really a Decolike anymore, but it is readable at smaller sizes than almost all my other designs!

This uses some compression/truncation tricks to fit glyphs into a smaller grid. Those tricks are usually used in pixel designs (such as Chlorophyte) but I think they worked out well here, too!

This started as a tiny version of Ballotine and then gradually acquired the cartoon-esque look it has now. It gives me a mild "noir" feeling.

A really tiny font which uses only about 15/64 of a brick per glyph. This could have been even smaller, of course, but I wanted it to be readable, so I used 3x5 forms. This means I can do a 3x4 lowercase later if people want it.

Is there any practical use for this? Probably not. But, at the original size, the entire Lorem Ipsum text takes up about half of one line, so that's something. :D

This is a basic font for building words, each letter is one block made of a 3x5 composite, somtimes with stacking. Wish this were not a clone, since it is a root clonable from which clones can be made. Some letters need nudging when building words: Nudge left: filt, Nudge right: mvw. The numbers need to be nudged down. The lower case letters are designed to not touch either the top or the bottom of the edge of the brick (except the g).

Self explanitory.

This font is a recreation of the mobile game of the same name.

Continuing on the theme of overzealously antialiased pixel fonts, here's a 3x5 no-wasted-matrix design. The shading enabled me to make many glyphs which normally need to be truncated or compressed (MWaemswz@«©»®, etc). Looks best at 2x Pixel size!

This gives me an "old newspaper" feeling and seems like the kind of font that would be used for the text of such newspapers in old adventure games.

Unfortunately, I could not get the shading effect to work in any graphics software except by turning antialiasing on, and this ruins the look. So if you want to render text in this font, I recommend going to View -> User Input, typing your text here on this page, and then screen capturing it...

A compressed, squareish microfont. 4x4, monospaced, no wasted matrix.

I like how this one uses all the space it occupies. Glyphs like ijl1 fill out the words they're in rather than creating voids. Also, i looks kind of like a lit candlestick, and I like that.

A variant of Gridlarva with filters removed and many letterforms altered.

An attempt at Gridbug in 2x2!

Another 2x2 doodle. :^)

An experimental logotype and another attempt to create a distinctive design in 2x2. Some words look better than others... it's best for 1-2 word phrases rather than body text.

"B", "P", and "R" are compromise designs... no satisfactory way exists to create their curves while maintaining the optimal line width, so their counters were filled a bit to give them the same sense of solidity as the other letters.

A "denghon" is a giant, many-limbed, extradimensional creature found throughout my games, especially ESOS.

Is it Ironic that I spent a lot of time making a minimalistic font? Maybe not...

In any case, this is a font I made with a challenge of keeping every character within a 5x5 block size (4x4 blocks for the lowercase letters)

The only character NOT within a 5x5 square is the @ character. It somehow ended up a little wide.

Stemless superminimal 2x2. It's small yet bold, much like Napoleon!

Squareish, slightly futuristic 2x2 design. It's made to fit in with industrial, sci-fi, and Soviet-style aesthetics. It's also far more internally consistent than my other 2x2 designs!

Because this uses so much nudging, diacritics will be impossible unless I composite many of the existing glyphs or place the diacritics really high... I'll think about it...

Megashark's hard 1px outline was experimentally converted to a soft 1px outline. This result is far less readable to my eye, though it does look cool! Its printed words have a balloon-esque, almost organic quality.

"S.D.M.G." stands for "Super Dolphin Machine Gun", a weapon from the game Terraria. The Minishark and Megashark are from the same game. :^)

A minimized Minishark. How does that make it Mega? Well it's MEGA COOL.

I think this is the first 5x5 connected-outline design on FS!

An experiment to see if 3x3 fonts are more legible when drawn in negative space. I consider this to be not only a success, but also the most readable 3x3 design I have seen - particularly the uppercase.

The successors Megashark and S.D.M.G. are more useable and more stylish respectively, while Minishark strikes a good balance. 

This is considered an E3x3 because, while it's created in a 5x5 grid, it has an effective drawing area of only 3x3. The outermost square only has pixels drawn in it when the interior design dictates such.

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!
