Recreation of the large pixel font from Jaleco's “Plus Alpha” (1989).

The uppercase characters are 16px wide, while the remaining characters are 8px wide.

This recreation is available in TrueType+COLR and WOFF2. For a monochrome version, see this recreation.

Only the characters present in the game's tile set have been included.

Handwritten version of the Expanded Alteran Alphabet

IT IS I: THE MYSTERIOUS HACKER WHO ONCE BROKE THE SITE BY REDIRECTING EVERY USER TO THE RICKROLL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE, BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER FONT!

THIS TIME, IT’S A COMPRESSED FONT WHERE NOTHING GOES BELOW THE BASELINE. (THE BASELINE IS THE WORLD’S MOST PROFOUND AND INEXPLICABLE BARRIER WHICH MAY NEVER BE CROSSED.)

FEATURES

• KERNING!
• A QUESTION MARK WITH SCOLIOSIS!
• A Q THAT SNEEZED SO HARD THAT ITS TAIL FELL OFF!
• NOTCHES CUT OUT OF E, F, J, T, AND Ƃ TO FIT NICELY WITH V, W, AND Y!
• INK TRAPS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE THICKNESS OF THE STROKES!
• ALL NUMERALS IN THE NUMBERBET ARE MONOSPACED, SO THEY CAN BE USED IN A DYNAMIC INTERFACE WITHOUT JUMPING AROUND!

First of all, this font isn't meant to be super easy to read without becoming familiar with it first; it's meant as a robotic/alien language style font, like star wars for example. _________________________________________________________________

Any suggestions would be accepted for the following:
G,K,Q, and X aren't one stroke

Y isn't recognisable

C, L, N, O, Q, T, U, and Z aren't changed at all

It's unlikely that I will add lowercase, but i'm considering adding appropriately indecipherable punctuation later. :)

Update Notes:

V1.0 released May 26, 2026

based on the insular/celtic capital typography from the book of kells

alternates in lowercase

extra alternate M in ~

rho and phi also included

A different attempt at recreating the lettering of the RISO logo and inspired by the custom type featured in a Gaji periodical by Corners Studio.

I've drawn a similar typeface previously in Illustrator but with a varied set of glyph styles called Risalto, free for download in my font bundle.

designed with as much 1x1 space and as little 2x2 space as possible

edit 4/22/2026: OMG THX FOR THE STAFF PICK

Cross-stitch version of my zhowfrakt font, made for a personal project. I hope some grandma likes it. :D

WONDERFUL!! 7 USERS RATED THIS FONT 10/10

An old idea updated for this event: FS turns 18!... Revisiting an unfinished project is often a good thing. The experience gained over time usually fills in many of the gaps left by the initial attempts. Btw, the kern is in progress. Hope you like it. Happy Birthday FontStruct!
