My design was influenced by walls, barriers, and the requirement for a division between our built and natural environments in order to protect us. I am a first-year student at UWE Bristol studying Graphic Design, and I made this digital typeface in response to this year's subject, "PROTECT."

Font used for the credits, copy protection screen, help menu, and restore game screen for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled 'Thexder II Firehawk'.)  As with many Japanese games, the period (.) is set above the baseline; it has been lowered here, but the original can be found in the More Latin section.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

Font used for the start menu, in-game menus, character interactions, and on-screen displays for Fire Hawk: Thexder - The Second Contact, (C) 1989, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  (The DOS start-up screen also states that this game is alternately titled as 'Thexder II Firehawk'.)  Letter J* and modified B N P by Goatmeal.  Original B N P found in the More Latin area, along with the 'digital counter' numerals as a bonus.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

* Oddly enough, I couldn't find the letter J used anywhere during my playthough...

Font used for the copy protection and in-game text for Silpheed Super Dogfighter, (C) 1986, 1988 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1988 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Numerals 3 4 6 7 8 9 by Goatmeal; the only numbers used for bonus value displays in-game are 0 1 2 5.  The Block character is located in the @ position.

Monospaced version of the text font used for the introduction, character interactions, and finale of Zeliard, (C) 1987, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Modified q by Goatmeal; the original q is found in the More Latin area.

Proportional version of the text font used for the credits and saved game/restore menu of Zeliard, (C) 1987, 1990 Game Arts Co, Ltd / (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line, Inc.  Modified q by Goatmeal; the original q is found in the More Latin area.

In the game, the spacing/kerning between various letter and/or punctuation combinations is highly variable, anywhere from 2-6 pixels.  To strike a balance, a standard three-pixel width was chosen for letters and most punctuation; the remaing punctuation glyphs have a 6-pixel width, while the numbers retain their 2-pixel width.

PS2blockline is a blocky wide font, inspired by the PS2/PSP logo.

Smooth version of the in-game dialogue font from Space Quest 6: Roger Wilco In The Spinal Frontier, (C) 1995 Sierra On-Line.

Includes the Positive and Negative Post symbols and Sierra logo; modified / (to match \) and characters % $ [ | ] ~ by Goatmeal. Original / found in the More Latin area. Modified from the original Sierra Resource File Tags: "70.fon" & "71.fon"

Please note that during the "smoothing process" (from pixel to "bezier"), some liberties were taken with certain glyph designs.

Initials used with the non-speech text in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  These letters were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets, used in conjunction with the Sierra text font Font.004.  While the letters were centered within the 16x15 sprites, the I and J were changed to proportional spacing for use with other fonts.

To match the two-tone sprites used in the game, this version allows the user to overlay a partial letter or letters in a different color for use in games or picture/image artwork.

Solid outline font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.009" and is paired with the Sierra font "font.008".

This font was used for onle single phrase in the game: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).  Oddly enough, instead of using the outline font.009, the opening credits used the font.008 twice for a 'drop-shadow' effect...

And while they may have been intentional choices, there are several instances where the outline designs don't follow the patterns found with the majority of other glyphs (missing pixels, perhaps for legibility?). As such, the following characters:

• J O P Q R S X c j m n p q r s u v z ! ;

...have all been 'corrected' within the main set of glyphs; their original designs can be found in the More Latin section.

Font used in King's Quest V: Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder!, (C) 1990 Sierra On-Line.   Sierra Resource File Tag: "font.008" and is paired with the solid outline version of this font, "font.009".

The font was used for the opening credits and for a single phrase during gameplay:

• Instead of using the solid outline version font.009 for the opening credits, a drop-shadow effect was employed (recreated here in my new sample).

• It was used later in the game WITH the solid outline version font.009 for one single phrase: "A few hours later....." (occurring twice in the floppy disk version, but only once in the CD-ROM version).

Main text font for numerous Sierra SCI games.  The version from Space Quest I VGA includes several copy protection symbols and the Roman numeral I.  The version from Space Quest IV includes Roman numerals IV and XII, plus a horizontal ™.  These glyphs are located in the More Latin area.  Circumflex Accent ^ by Goatmeal.  Sierra Resource File Tags: "font.004" ; "4.fon" ; "1107.fon" ; "1207.fon"

Please note that "font.004" in the early Hoyle games contain a bold variant of this font.

Clone of Sierra Font 1605 fon.  Bold version of the text font from "Space Quest V: Roger Wilco - The Next Mutation", (C) 1993 Dynamix / Sierra.  Because (1.) Sierra fonts were aligned along the Cap Height instead of the Baseline, and (2.) this game often used the regular font (1605) and the lowercase bold (5220) within in the same lines of text, this font replicates the same alignment.  Modified L S W l and s by Goatmeal; originals located in the More Latin area.  Sierra Resource File Tag: "5220.fon"

My submission for 2020's competition, "Future".

My first Fontstruction is based on the Orbitron font and inspired by a graphic I made using the font.

First design for 2019. Some lines, line widths, spacing and of course the "serif style"  changed for this, as compared to Lady Dorma's look.

It's Monday, so I really didn't want to work too hard on this one.

A typeface inspired by the theme 'systematic', developed through finding hidden shapes within geometric architecture and using them as building blocks for the letterforms.  Sister font to - STACKED BLACKOUT

Neon lights inspired font.

Design rules:

Use 'gentle' curves.
All ends are rounded caps.
Never allow paths to cross or to touch.
Define letters & symbols in as few lines as possible.

Copyright Doug Peters (https://www.Doug-Peters.com & https://Dougs.Work) 2018 & 2019.  Released as an SIL Open Font Licensed freeware font (& web font).

I wound-up with sort of a neon light font.  Use, study, modify, create derivatives (use a different reserved font name & update docs) and/or redistribute this rounded line font. I hope you enjoy it.

Another example of glyphs acting as the counter in a space, and this space filling the usual "glyph's white space" in the way the counters were described for the competition.

This might be called a "negative counter" design. Alternative 'Y' is on 'y'. Countercomp entry 2.

Created from the idea of using line within a font. Great for the idea of a race, whether it's running to car racing!

letters organised by type, the ones with gaps are vowels (or vowel-like).

A bit of artistic flying ;) This design would have benefitted from the original 8x8 composite possibility but 5x5 or 4x6 would have worked, too. Done as far as I need it for normal communication in modern English.

Wider lines on this version of Raysan. As it is a display font it only needs upper case and some essential punctuation. It would be useful for shop signs, headers and (part of) logos. It belongs to the Raysan family but I changed some spacings.

Yes,I didn't follow my design rule for J,T,Z,1,2,3,7 nor for .,+-+ and the different types of  >< I found the left lines with the a in @ and e in & unpleasant and unnecessary.
