Clone of a thick rounded 9-Segment LCD display . I changed its symetry more to my liking and set all segments to fit within the character 8 boundaries. It had only letters needed to indicate time, date, temperature or AM/PM, but I expanded it a bit later...
This is a clone of STF_9-SEGMENT LCD (ROUND)i legit did this in an hour ( filler upload )
update: added all english (uppercase and lowercase) letters
normal letters: ACEFGHIJLOPSUZabcdefghijlnopqrstuyz
compromised letters: KMVWXkmvwx
uppercase letters that look like lowercase: BDNQRTY
This font idea popped into my head when I came across this YouTube video about segmented displays. The "X-O" LCD idea was the most fascinating to me and I challenged myself to try remaking it... and ended up completely revamping it to include "lowercase" letters, and improve legibility (for the most part)
The standard font sets of the HD44780A00 and UA02 combined, using only the 5x8 characters, and preferring the UA02 ones where there are differences between the two sets (the cent sign for instance). Characters with dual or triple purposes are filling all of their potential slots.
Note that the following 'basic ASCII' characters differ between the -A00 and UA02 masks of the HD44780: 'A', 'S', 'g', 'i', 'm', 'w', '[', and 'ェ'. As of the update on 20201127, all of these in this font are using the UA02 version.
20231122: Now that FontStruct supports characters outside the Unicode BMP, I added the "Bell" character. I also added the Cyrillic Capital Yu, which I'd somehow overlooked. Thanks, ewpa, for pointing it out.

Based on lettering used for LCD information displays in the 1980s and 1990s.
This font displays each character as a seven segment representation of the binary value of the character according to the GSM 7-bit alphabet. The commercial at (@) has been swapped with the space as I don't know how I could have a blank character that isn't space. I put the escape character in place of the reverse solidus (\), and I put the carriage return and line feed characters in the place of the left and right square brackets respectively, as these characters are not represented in fonts.
This is a cloneInspired by radios' displays.

This is a clone of Digital Radio Display 14 SegAttempt to render the Cyrillic alphabet using the 14-segment LCD screen. Really highlights how impractical the 14-seg is for Cyrillic text. All letters I couldn't "solve" are rendered as all-on. Most of the letters are taken from here https://helperbyte.com/questions/341983/display-the-cyrillic-alphabet-on-14-segment-display

Inspired by a comment by jonrgrover.
I built diamonds sized according to the Fibonacci series, then made a segmented display out of them. The design was then carved away to make the glyphs you see here. I used the members 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. These sizes proved most feasible to work with in this sort of arrangement.
I gave the terminals a flared appearance which I think makes the glyphs look slightly Celtic. The design also makes me think of beach sand and things found on the beach - shells, pretty rocks, and so on.
Nirvanite Fossil with round shapes changed to diamonds.
I think this one is the toughest to read in the family - even harder than Nirvanite Pixel. Oh well!
This is a clone of Nirvanite Fossil24-segment display. This one belongs to a small family called Calculatrix.
Like Calculatrix 12, this one is spaced so that every segment appears in its proper place, as if the text were being rendered on one giant display. (If using this in your own software, you will want to check the line spacing as it can vary depending on the software.)
I suppose this font could be used for weaving or embroidery work, as well... it has that look about it...
TIP: Try zooming out while already at Pixel size!
An attempt to make a Calculatrix with both squares and hexagonal segments. The result doesn't really fit in with the others, but it has a harsh and highly technical appearance about it which I like.
More glyphs later, maybe?
