Trying to achieve maximum readability and symbol differentiation within a reasonable size.
This is a clone of CatseyeCode7x15RThis 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.

Being my first creation, this is a simple font of clock-like, digital characters. I made this font because I couldn't use all the other digital-like fonts I've found for commercial use, so I figured I'd just make my own! (And since I wouldn't say it's too good of a font, I've set a simple license.)
Some were a little tougher and don't technically follow the rules a digital clock would, but it's much better than them making little to no sense.
I may end up remaking this font with it being more high-quality and better overall, but I have no serious plans on doing that just yet. (Perhaps I've made a second version as you're reading this and I forgot to remove this part!)
I needed a pixel font that was optimized in space but still comfortably readable, so I created Simpixel.
As three by five (3x5) seemed a reasonable size for capital letters and numbers (cf. A, B, E, S; 2, 3, 8 etc.), I tried my best. This didn't always work, as particular letters naturally need more horizontal space (cf. M, W; N, Q), such that some ended up four or five pixels wide (Though I have created a monospaced version - Simpixel Mono - where I managed to also condense those letters to 3x5).
I then worked on the small letters and eventually the rest of the Latin and even the Greek letters, just for fun. Of course, the less basic letters tend to be larger in size. Emoticons, pictograms and miscellaneous symbols fall into that category too (cf. ½, ⅓, ⅔, ¼, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝, ⅞, ⅟, etc).
With all that being said, thanks for checking this out!
60's - 70's intergallactic television shows were the inspiration for this font, while it originated as a simple Arial Bold font. Stretched and squeezed through space and time itself, this typeface is sure to have geeks and nerds alike on the edge of their seats and begging for more.
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.
