WHAT SHOULD I MAKE NEXT?
What began nearly 8 years ago as an experiment in multi-stage, multi-resolution pixel serif type drafting (starting smallish then manually upscaling x4), took on the robust character you see here after countless edits and some tricky lessons learned along the way.
The initial weight was on the light side (cloned privately for posterity), so I took a leap into this bookish weight by fattening each glyph copy-pasted 1 pixel shifted both up and to the right. A rudimentary technique, by no means novel, yet almost wholly effective. I saw fit from here to only make a handful of corrections, keeping the slightly rounded and slanted serif shape that resulted as well as the subtle reenforcing of a pen-nib construction.
More intriguing is the 1-bit “anti-aliasing” scheme I found myself progressively guided toward while finding the lines of these curves developing the initial light weight. Implied diagonals and said curves – as well as refinement of contrast – are substantially more granular and specific than had I taken a black-and-white posterized, or stairstepped approach.
At half-resolution, the resulting smoothness is acceptible. This type of hinting will be useful in developing a substitution rule set consisting of subpixel slanted or curved bricks to produce a “vectorized” version.
Indeed, such a process could be purely automated by a proficient developer or properly trained neural network (this would be a really interesting future feature for fontstruct pro – rather than hinting a font after painstaking vector construction, why not reverse the process by way of en vogue ai-assisted upscaling?).
Basic accented charaters and numerals are being added as I churn through the extended character set...
a pixelated unicode font that can be read at small sizes.

A tribute to all those handwritten, rough, and fun fonts!

Still being developed
Kawaii Pixels is a sans serif font that is meant to resemble pixels from retro video games. I took inspiration from Minecraft and retro video games. It would be great to use for titles, cards, and anything you want to add a cute and quirky flavor to.
6x5 pixel script I made for use with the Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, and Devanagari alphabets; diacritics are integrated. 5x5 pixels are dedicated to base symbols, and the uppermost pixel is reserved for diacritics.
