Hex codes with bit[0] = 0, 1, 8, 9 were unavailable, so bit[2] is set as 1.

This is a clone of PortofinoBased on the game 'Xevious,' this font does not only contain small letters, but it contains a brand new small letters just related to the big ones from the original game! It also contains a small Solvalou symbol to salute to the 1982 classic! A sci-fi raster font for shooting fans, everywhere.
(Credit to Paradigm The Great for the original typeface.)
This is the second font I've made so far and currently my "dream font", if such a thing like that exists.
I've never seen a typeface with a capital R, S, and number 4 like this one, as the only one I've come across by the beginning of August 2023 would be "Videotape", however even that would be misaligned and wonky. This font is the sequel to my first font, "Tracking Knobs", but with more glyphs and lowercase letters.
This is a clone of CHARGEN '92VHS style font based on the JVC character generator, as seen in the JVC GR-C1 camera manual. Some tweaks for spacing and a few additional glyphs also included.
Free to use however you like. Originally created for use in the game Super VHS: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2344680/Super_VHS/
This is another version of a very popular classic computer (fixing 1 pixel wider than the original)! Much better than the VIC-20's CharGen fonts.
This is a clone of Apple 2b Dot-MatrixThis is the classic, pixel version from the 1970's classic computer! This time, it's from the dot matrix font that was lastly made with small letters from the IIe.
This is a clone of Apple 2a Dot-MatrixThird font in a series of three colour pixel experiments, made after reading Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type by Toshi Omagari. This one has a double shadow, which gives an extruded 3D effect at a smaller scale.
My first Pixelart font :)
Also please don't worry about the letters at the end. They're bugged
Feeling inspired after reading Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type by Toshi Omagari, I set out to make my own 8x8 pixel font. I worked with a similar approach to the one I used in the larger grid font offstruct rgb.
First started in Adobe Illustrator, each character consists of three iterations of the same 6x6 pixel letter: in RGB Red, Green and Blue. These were layered, offset by one pixel diagonally, filling the 8x8 box. To achieve additive blending, I applied the "Lighten" transparancy setting. Combinations of overlaying these three primary RGB colours result in the secondary RGB coloured pixels Yellow, Cyan and Magenta. In the additive mixing of coloured lights, the equal blending of all three primary colours results in White. All pixels were then entered manually into the fontstructor and black pixels were added for display purposes.
This blackletter-style monospace pixel font is a recreation of the original main font from in the SNES action game ActRaiser 2.
The character set of Tanzra includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants, numbers, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets and other Asian glyphs from the original Japanese version of the game. Every character that doesn't pop up in the game has been designed to match the look and feel of the base characters.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 15pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.

A recreation of the font used on the early CRT terminals from IBM, based on this source by Marcin Wichary.
I find there is a particular charm in the crudeness of some solutions compared to subsequent iterations or other 5x7 pixel fonts (see, for example, the numerals and |C|U|Y|).
I reproduced only the characters shown in the aforelinked image, placing them in what I considered to be the appropriate Unicode place.
I tried to look for some more glyphs (comma anyone?) but failed to find reliable sources.
The definitive retro gaming font, now available to use for your gaming-related projects, without a single arcade quarter required, is here! Why stick with Press Start 2P when you can use this, especially the fact that this font has over 1000 characters? This font was originally inspired by nostalgic arcade games, such as Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros., Frogger, Wonder Boy, Kung-Fu Master, Punch-Out!!, Karate Champ, Burger Time, Centipede, Track & Field, Bomb Jack, and many more!
This is a clone of Super Mario Bros. NESBased on a font identification request over at Typography.guru.
A recreation of the typeface used for the titles of the film Sneakers, evidently inspired by the MICR aesthetics, filtered through the over-the-top flair of arcade video-games graphics.
Only |J|Q|Z| are done from scratch, but most letters still needed some interpretation in order to choose what to keep as a detail and what to discard as just an artefact.
As per the samples available, it's just uppercase (plus the lonely lowercase |c|).
It is possible that the original wasn't a pixel font after all, or that the pixels weren't square, and probably it had a higher resolution than 13×13.
No saben, pero parece que me encariñé mucho de la tipografía Monaco_15 de Susan Kare (Aunque tenga sus Errores).
Lo que pasa con la tipografía es que primero hice la versión bitmap para Windows (.FON) y lo extendí a todos los caracteres Unicode para este formato para que no salga un error en el soporte de idiomas.
Después de muchos años, pude regresar a la pagina que hice esta versión de Monaco_15 llamándolo “MonacoTTF” y lo comencé a desarrollar en el 10/1/2022 y logré extender la cantidad de símbolos disponibles para la fuente.
Recomiendo que lo descarguen su versión TrueType porque comprobé que la versión OpenType contiene errores
