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.

A recreation of the first San Francisco from 1984, originally called Ransom, by the incomparable Susan Kare.

I noticed that among the various recreations of the original bitmap fonts for the Macintosh, this iconic design was missing, so I decided to fill the gap.

I used an image rather than the font as a reference, and don’t know the intended point size, the spacing could be off, and the number of characters is unfortunately very limited.

No saben, pero parece que me encariñé mucho de la tipografía Monaco_15 de Susan Kare (Aunque tenga sus Errores).

Lo que pasa con la tipografía es que primero hice la versión bitmap para Windows (.FON) y lo extendí a todos los caracteres Unicode para este formato para que no salga un error en el soporte de idiomas.

Después de muchos años, pude regresar a la pagina que hice esta versión de Monaco_15 llamándolo “MonacoTTF” y lo comencé a desarrollar en el 10/1/2022 y logré extender la cantidad de símbolos disponibles para la fuente.

Recomiendo que lo descarguen su versión TrueType porque comprobé que la versión OpenType contiene errores

Well, it's been a while because I've run out of fonts I want to convert/build.  This one is LeConte from GEOS on the Commodore 64.  It is pretty much a clone of Susan Kare's Chicago for the Apple systems, so you can use it as a pixelly Apple font in your works.

Wouldn't have minded redoing this with curves, but decided on going with full retro pixelled corners, as that's my main schtick.

It's the fancy cursive font from "resource2.dat" from Cube World. Turns out, its actually the 'Venice' font by Susan Kare & Bill Atkinson from the original classic Macintosh, so I've added all the remaining characters from the original font which the cube world version didn't have.
