All credit to Buro Destruct for their original bitmap design. Except for the &, that one’s mine.
I originally released this in 2008 as an exploration of the optical effect possible using different modules in a simple, gridded bitmap design. Buro Destruct iconic design was an inviting point of departure.
I have recreated/republished this at the request of four who took the inspiration and ran with it.
This is a clone of Med SplodeThis is an amazing Blackletter pixel font! It is inspired by many Blackletter and Old English fonts! Comment and let me know what you think! If you put this on your own website, use a download link to this page! If you use this for something comment in the comments below about it and let me know! I like to see my fonts being used! UPDATES: 7/14/2014: - Started More Latin. 7/15/2014: - Added to More Latin. - Added more tags. 8/03/2014: - Added Greek characters. - Added more tags. INSPIRATION: - Most of the capitals, a few of the lower case, and the numbers were inspired by Medieval Pixel. - The rest of the lower case were inspired by Old English.
This font was designed around the theme word Elegant. I was inspired to create a typeface that was ornate and palatial; it is a ode to Baroque design.
I have tried to emulate columns for the body of the font and created a crowned frieze for some of the letters with decorative toppers for the remaining characters.
This ornate typeface was designed with the intention to give every part of a letterform some curve. The end result was a typeface that mirrored the rounded shape of old-fashioned wood spindles like one might find on an antique dinning chair or an elaborate staircase in an ancestry home. Spindles like these were handcrafted and born from the finest lumber a proud wood worker could find. This same type of pride went into the crafting of Simple Spindle.
Presenting... Ari-W9500 - a complete pixel font family with multiple weights & styles.
This is basically pixelated Arial. Nothing interesting, really. The font is heavily inspired by the pixelated font used in Microsoft's Windows 95. The project was originally meant to be an improved and revamped version of the popular W95FA pixel font.
With more than 1600 glyphs, the font can support a wide range of languages (primarily supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic).
The alternative glyphs of all the font styles included in the family are stored in the "Braille Patterns" Unicode block.
=================================
Extra context:
For those who are wondering, Ari-W9500 began under construction BEFORE Roguewas even planned. After done publishing Rogue, I just wanted to finish this project up and move on.
=================================
The entirety of the Ari-W9500 font family (6 styles):
• Ari-W9500 Display (Extra-bold)
=================================
Future plans:
Looking forward to adding Hebrew support soon.
Due to technical difficulties, I WILL NOT be making italic versions for the styles.
=================================
If you see any glyphs in the font that's incorrectly designed, please tell me by commenting.
Feel free to clone the project and add additional language support (e.g.: CJK, Thai, Arabic, Devanagari) as you wish.
=================================
Thanks for enjoying this moment with me.
Being fascinated with old technology, I decide to make a typface reflectant of old computers used during the mid to late 20th century. I picture this font being typed with the clicky sounds of mechanical keyboards, and I hope so will you.
Inspired by grotesk sans serif fonts made between the 1830s and 1960s. Also inspired by Bebas Neue. This font's name comes from the German word "anzeig", meaning "display". What characters/character sets should I do next?
