Last week my beloved iMac stopped working for good. It's been more than a decade of a fantastic relationship, but now I have to accept the fact that it won't be with me anymore... With that in mind, I've collected these vintage Mac icons, most (maybe all) made by the great Susan Kare in the best 80's. Curiously, you will see that many of them have remained until today with very few modifications, but others (that dot matrix printer, those faxes, those floppy disks...) have definitely passed into the History. I remember with particular displeasure the d*** Bomb, which appeared unexpectedly when the computer crashed -too frecuently- and you then lost all the work not saved manually. Freaky old times. My favourite character still being Clarus, the dogcow (at the Z, of course). Hope you like them.

Recreation of "Normal Centipede" from CPFONTS.FON, included in Microsoft Arcade from 1993.
The original font seems to have been intended to be capital letters and numbers only, with what appears to be poorly-resized bitmaps from a different font in the rest of the character set. Some, especially the punctuation, were literally illegible. So I hope you'll forgive me that this isn't a 100% faithful recreation.
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-MatrixAuthor of the original font: Patred
This is a clone of MC Ten DripA seemingly unique rendition of the classic arcade font used in an episode of Ben 10. I've recreated it here since I couldn't find an exact match anywhere.
Some characters that didn't appear in the episode (mostly numbers and punctuation) have been invented by myself to fill it out a bit.
Square-pixel variation of the dot-matrix original.
This is a clone of Brother EP-20/22 Electronic TypewriterRecreated character set of the Brother EP-20/22 Electronic Thermal Typewriter (1983).
Square-pixel variation also available.
The Professor Layton font, but with an excess of added symbols and diacriticals. I hunted down font maps because I don’t have actual font maps just so I could make this. Please, go crazy.

FOR KANJI CHARACTERS: I recommend using the Zpix font and slightly raising the baseline on the Kanji characters. With a bit of adjustment you can get whatever you’re looking for in Japanese.

The spacing between lines seems a bit awkward in some cases, so you might want to adjust that, too, with this font.

This is a clone of Sonic Advance 2An unofficial demake of Monaco Regular at 9 point.
Monaco is only available as a pre-installed font on Apple computers.
This font currently contains the FontStruct Basic Latin character set (ASCII + curly quotes). If it gets 100 downloads, I’ll add OpenType Std (Windows ANSI + Mac OS Roman) characters.
You can download this font and use it for EPG's, Closed Captions, Subtitles, and much more!
This is a clone of EPG BulletinThis Fontstruct is similar to Arial at pt9 (Size="1" in Browsers). Arial often starts breaking down beneath 10pt, especially in Adobe Flash. Using this Fontstruct instead will yield in a much clearer readout while retaining the familiar Arial characteristics. "More Latin" and "Extended Latin A" Characters sets are included!
