Recreation of the pixel font from Codemasters' "Rockstar Ate My Hamster" (1988). Slightly expanded with a few additional custom characters not present in the original game.
Edited (11/2016) to fix some of the characters, based on a more accurate source (C64 emulation of the game) and to include the "BLACK LARGE SQUARE" (U+2B1B) unicode character.
Recreation of the pixel font from Realtime Associates/Bandai's "Dick Tracy" (1990) on the NES. Note the "half-star" character (used for the in-game health bar) has been mapped to U+2606 "white star". Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from Konami's "Castlevania: Dracula X" (aka "Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss", "Akumajō Dracula XX", 1995) on the SNES. Exactly the same as Konami's "Biker Mice from Mars" (1994), but with an additional "®" registered sign. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Biker Mice SNESRecreation of the pixel font from id Software's "Quake" (1996). Note that the original has a few small antialiased elements which have been flattened for this recreation. Only the characters present in the game's resource files have been included.
This is a small 10 pixel font that I am making primarily for low-res games and screens. The font is meant to be small but visually very pleasing. This font focuses primarily on letters that are still used today. So old letters or unused letters are not added. Right now it supports Latin, some Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Thai, Greek & Coptic. Due to addition of diacritics, and other markings, the distance between lines is somewhat bigger than most other fonts relative to the font size. I recommend you manually reduce the line distance by say -1 or -2 to squish the text a bit vertically. It is being used in a few games since it's inception.
Simple, stylized, & consistent pixel based font, intended for use by game designers & pixel artists. This is my first "finished" font & I am very much open to suggestions, as I would like to optimise it & eventually submit it to Google Fonts.
Pixellated Proxima Punch. It's art deco for your ancient compy box! New smaller grid, same great taste.
Original size: 6pt. Use multiples of this value for pixel perfection. However, this one has been noted to look great at almost every smaller size. Try 7pt, 8pt, 9pt, etc. for slight variations on the look!
A tear-off ticket design. I went for the slightly gaudy look which is associated with carnivals and arcades.
While making this I also got the idea for a font which looks like a 35mm reel with little scenes on each segment...
Original size: 14.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
Recreation of the primary pixel font from Nintendo's "Metroid II: Return of Samus" (1991) on the Nintendo Game Boy.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
A fairly obscure video game font for you, this being the serifed font from thte 'Puyo Puyo' series of video games (if that name sounds unfamiliar, these games were reskinned in North American and released as 'Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine' and 'Kirby's Avalanche'.)
The base alphabet, numbers, and several punctuation are all authentic to the game (the inverted ? and ! are always easy to make, which is why I always include them, even if not a part of the game proper). However, there's plenty of custom glyph work here with the punctuation and the accented lettering.
Enjoy!
Recreation of the pixel font from Konami's "Wai Wai World" (1988) on the Nintendo Famicom.
The original was only released in Japan, and contains a complete set of katakana, with a handful of latin characters (used mostly on the start screen). This recreation includes additional characters to complete the set of uppercase latin characters.
In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten for the katakana are separate tiles, and positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Apart from these changes, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Jaleco's "Saiyūki World II: Tenjōkai no Majin" (1990) on the NES, which was re-themed for the US market as "Whomp 'Em". A fairly standard font, but with a few nice quirks (particularly on the "X"). Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font used on the title screen of Enix's "Dragon Quest" (1986) on the NES, later released in North America as "Dragon Warrior" (1989). In the tile set, the "5" was missing one pixel - this has been fixed here. Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Nintendo's cartridge re-release of "Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1986), renamed/numbered as "Zelda no Densetsu 1: The Hyrule Fantasy" (1994), on the Famicom.
The re-release uses that same alphanumeric characters of the North America/Europe release of "The Legend of Zelda" (1987), but otherwise all characters remain the same. Note that the dakuten is used in the initial story screen as a double-quote character (which oddly is also the case in the North America/Europe version, even though these have a separate double-quote character).
This font includes a full set of katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Climax Entertainment/Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force" (1992) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the small pixel font from the japanese release of Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force II" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Compared to the european/north american release, the alphanumeric and punctuation characters are all shifted by one pixel to the left, and one pixel down. The font also lacks a lowercase.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
This is a clone of Shining Force II (Small)Recreation of the small pixel font from the european/north american release of Sonic! Software Planning's "Shining Force II" (1993) on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.
Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
Recreation of the pixel font from Compile/Irem's "The Guardian Legend" (aka "Guardic Gaiden", 1988) on the Nintendo Famicom / NES. It combines the characters from the North American/European release and the original Japanese one.
This font includes a full set of hiragana and katakana characters. In the game's tileset, the dakuten and handakuten are separate tiles, positioned in the line above the character they relate to. In this recreation, these characters are pre-combined into a single glyph.
Similarly, in the password entry screen the game includes various characters with an umlaut/diaeresis, which are rendered as a separate tile in the preceding line. In this recreation, these have also been pre-combined. The game itself also uses some non-standard combinations (such as a "k" with an umlaut) - these have not been included, as they don't map to any standard unicode character. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the numeral "0" in the password entry screen uses a slash. This has been mapped to the "Latin Capital Letter O with Stroke" character (U+00D8).
Beyond this, only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.
