Experimental 2x4 font. Not the most legible, but maybe useful as a cipher. It requires some contextual knowledge of what you are reading for the best result.

A tiny font made for pixel art tutorials and streamer use. The inspiration comes from old art of video game controllers which I used to make, in particular the letters ABCLRXYZ which I drew many times on many controller buttons. The more complex letters (B,E,M,W) take on slightly abstract forms for neatness' sake.
Since these glyphs are all 4x4 unicase, compositing them for use in Fontstruct tutorials might save you a lot of work. Feel free to clone this for such a use.

Font from Morphcat Games' Micro Mages, Spacegulls, and Böbl.
A 3x3 microfont from the Virtual Gremlin, an old game of mine. This is designed to look tiny and indistinct. Useful when writing jargon, placeholder text, or technobabble (the kind of meaningless information you'd write when drawing a newspaper or computer terminal).
VERSION HISTORY:
08 Feb 2018 - v1.0 declared finished.
Another attempt at the challenging 4x4 grid. Only those characters which I could fit into the 4x4 grid were included. This time, I think I managed to get near the level of quality and style typical of a 5x5 font!
This is probably the smallest font most people would ever want to use for general reading. It took no trivial amount of experience and experimentation to come up with!
If you use this to make assets, you can use color separation to fit 4 glyphs onto an 8x8 tile or 16 onto a 16x16 tile. Check out my profile page for more microfonts you can use in your games!

A rounded version of Pixelcruiser Flagship. I think rounding it off both made it better-looking and more readable! This now looks like something I'd use in pixel comics.
This is a clone of Pixelcruiser FlagshipA compressed, squareish microfont. 4x4, monospaced, no wasted matrix.
I like how this one uses all the space it occupies. Glyphs like ijl1 fill out the words they're in rather than creating voids. Also, i looks kind of like a lit candlestick, and I like that.

A really tiny font which uses only about 15/64 of a brick per glyph. This could have been even smaller, of course, but I wanted it to be readable, so I used 3x5 forms. This means I can do a 3x4 lowercase later if people want it.
Is there any practical use for this? Probably not. But, at the original size, the entire Lorem Ipsum text takes up about half of one line, so that's something. :D
