The main font used by MARENGI Omnisystems in my video game series, "Endless Sea Of Stars". These letterforms can be found engraved into or projected onto practically every piece of MO technology. This script was designed in 2011 to be suitable for printing, logo design, art, and many other purposes. It lacks the constant height which most of my other pixel fonts have, but makes up for it with its bookish appearance.
Unfortunately, replicating the exact design of the antialiased version of this font is impossible, not only on FontStruct, but on all software other than ESOSVM. This is because ESOSVM uses a custom renderer which makes use of proprietary techniques. Marengi HD comes close, but not very.

Version 1.6
An attempt to make a "classroom" font. It reminds me of a font style which was once commonly used on magnetic letters.

A medium-res pixel font I designed in 2017 for printing the text of "The Story of Book" (TSoB), a tale which began life as an imaginary joke story and then was actually committed to paper.
TSoB is woven from my and my friends' whims, flights of fancy, in-jokes, and intentional idiocy, as well as contributions from several AIs. The resulting story changes tone, style, mood, and context at seeming random, and is subversive toward its media and reader beyond insufferability. All this was done just to make Trap Farmer Brer Brah slightly more interesting to the very few people who will ever bother to get and read The Story of Book in-game. So this font is based on an Easter egg.
Verbossus in sans-serif!
This is a clone of VerbossusA continuation of ideas in Candylander Plain. Half-arcs couple with short ascenders and descenders to make this.
Trying a Courier style. The lowercase has a slightly bottom-heavy design, while the uppercase keeps it consistent. Serifs everywhere!
It fits into typewriter/detective type aesthetics as well as rustic and western ones.
This one is made for a friend. We'll see if they ever end up using it. :v
EDIT: It seems as if said friend is never going to make their webzine... so, feel free to do with this one as you wish.
Version 1.5
*
3x3 slab serif. This is based on Wallerton, Anachronistic Gunslinger, an IRC-based "TV show" which I used to write and produce. All the characters in the show were my AIs pretending they were cowboys.
Well, I managed to successfully produce a lowercase for this one!
Recommended: Use with kerning.
Font used for the text of Poodle Caboodle Anthology, a compilation of short stories I wrote for the games Seven Candles, Trap Farmer Brer Brah, and Naively.
In this font the principles which I associate with "bookishness" are taken nearly to their logical end. This font is so bookish, it sometimes looks like a scaled-down, aliased version of a high-resolution font. It embraces its flaws in a highly methodical way which helps it cohere. It's also designed with speedreading in mind - something you can see in the simple curves of letters like aefgjrsy.
A work in progress. I'm designing this years after I designed the original non-fancy version. This font will probably be used for chapter names and other short bits of text as opposed to being used for the text of the book itself.
I want this to convey a whimsical and gaudy vibe - think Agatha Christie rhythmically plunging her head down into a giant bowl of Parma Violets to the tune of "Veterans Day Poppy" by Captain Beefheart. Actually, don't think that. My books are about fluorescent pink and purple poodles using psionics to solve crimes, not WEIRD CRAP.

This is a clone of MotormouthA small and condensed pixel font which uses a combination of techniques from designs like Marengi Mk2, Micro Machina, and Mncrft. The spacing, along with many glyphs, is experimental and defies my usual conventions.
I wondered what a plain version of Candylander would look like, so I made this. :D
I think a fully half-arc version could look even more stylish than this! Hope to find time to create one soon. (EDIT: Done, see Migrator)
