Recreation of the pixel font from Universal's "Cheeky Mouse" (1980). Note the thin "C", excessively wide "M" and "W" (which results in an awkward butting-up of most following characters), and the missing pixel in the numeral "0" which differentiate this from later forms of this font, such as the one used in "Devil Zone" (1980). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

A universal alphabet with faux-Greek influence. You will find that there are two distinct types of sigma, in contradiction with the universal vein of the thing.

Recreation of the font used in Universal Games' classic "Lady Bug" (1981), and later in "Mr. Do!" (1982), "Mr. Do's Castle" (1983), "Mr. Do's Wild Ride" (1984) and "Jumping Jack" (1984). This font has been slightly expanded with a few extra characters. Note the heart icon, which is mapped to the "black heart" (U+2665) unicode point. UPDATED to include the more correct @ symbol and to remap the heart icon from * to unicode point.

This version of Global Village is also designed for the use in an E-book I am beginning working on as part of a third year university Graphic Design project. This version shows how the typeface has been constructed as the individual bricks are slightly seperated from one another.This is a clone of Global village

I am studying in my third year of Graphic Design at the university of the west of England (Bristol UWE). I've been away from fontstruct for over a year now, and over the last few weeks I've seen some of the new first year students using it a lot. I couldn't help but notice the new bricks and brick stacking features that are now available. I have designed this typeface on a very small scale, to allow for the bezier curves created by the new bricks. I have had to use some creative brick stacking in order to get as much form out of the typeface as I could. Some of the lowercase glyphs seem to have some similar resemblance to the modernist typeface "universal" by Herbert Bayer. Although "universal" has no uppercase glyphs, whereas mine does! I am really pleased with this font, so thanks very much to fontstruct for putting in the new features. When using this font, I recommend that you set the tracking to around -120 or so, and set the kerning to "optical" rather than metrics". The letters will set quite nicely under these settings. Hope you like it! - Joe
