Based on Damien Guard's Amstrad PCW font but redrawn with narrow, rectangular pixels to look more like the PCW's display. (No doubt there's some clever thing you can do to redraw them automatically, but that's too advanced for me, and I did them all by hand!)
BTW I'm still not happy with the accented letters. IIRC the PCW reduced the size of the letters on screen to fit the accents in their 8x8 grid. I might try doing a version like that at some point.
This is a clone of Amstrad PCWWhile recreating/revising one of my very first fontstructions – April 2008’s Asgard (second to last one) – I realized it was going to take something more drastic still than switching to 2x2 filter settings to realize my dream of a harmonized U&lc set.
The original’s lowercase had several compelling and unique features (at the time), the uppercase worked well enough in all caps display settings...but they very rarely sat comfortably together. The answer couldn’t have been more simple: since the caps (which surprisingly came first...or does this just reveal my noobishness at the time?) are rather narrow, the lowercase itself needed to follow a more logically elongated model.
Here the flexibility of 2x2 filters kicks into high gear as the original design’s lc is tweaked by half a brick extra height to bring about a more righteously rockin’ family.
(Asgard 1.x plateaued at 829 characters, so – as always – more to come...)
