The only rule is simple: I was only allowed to use five shapes, although I could make composite shapes out of these shapes. More characters to be released soon. FYI: The numbers have sharp points to distinguish them from the letters.

Version 1: Basic Latin

Version 1.6: Some of the "More Latin" glyphs. These were hard to make! :| They don't look the greatest-any suggestions?

A design that combines tropes from fantasy, sci-fi, and sports in a subtle and pixel-optimized way.

Structurally, this looks like a high-res version of Marengi Mk2. There are still plenty of differences between the two, but since they seem equally readable to me, I'm tagging this as a chat font.

The original form of Snake Basket. This design coils on itself, but not to the extent that it makes spirals.

Named for the eidotya, snakes that weave themselves together and perform synchronized movements with a flock-like mentality. They're fictional and found in my own video games, of course!

With this I was prototyping a design which combined features of Helvetica and Sans Forgetica. But, while I was making the uppercase, this design got corrupted. Therefore this Fontstruction is now abandoned... the project will continue in FontForge.

*

"Cheat Evil" is just an anagram for "Helvetica".

By request, a condensed and quirky outline font!

*

Original size: 7.5pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

An experimental segmented display. It's called Cornerian because it has a lot of corners in it. HA HA I AM LE JOEK MASTER

A compressed, squareish microfont. 4x4, monospaced, no wasted matrix.

I like how this one uses all the space it occupies. Glyphs like ijl1 fill out the words they're in rather than creating voids. Also, i looks kind of like a lit candlestick, and I like that.

*

Original size: 3pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

A squareish and vaguely futuristic pixel design! It is not monospaced but still has a very "terminal" look about it.

*

Original size: 5px (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A vaguely Russian-looking font which is used in various media relating to The Boris Barkov Show.

Another mirror font! I made it in a square style so it would mirror more neatly. This also had the consequence of giving the font a "runic" look.

Looks best at Pixel sizes, but works with any size!

The name "Mirror Mang" comes from two things: the Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band song "Mirror Man" as well as the way my friends from New Zealand say "man".

*

Original size: 7pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

A trimmed-down version of Byblos Unicase! It has a distinctive "constantly underscored" look.

*

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

Squareish, slightly futuristic 2x2 design. It's made to fit in with industrial, sci-fi, and Soviet-style aesthetics. It's also far more internally consistent than my other 2x2 designs!

Because this uses so much nudging, diacritics will be impossible unless I composite many of the existing glyphs or place the diacritics really high... I'll think about it...

Just a doodle :D

Blocks are made from lines of widths 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, and 0.5. Then the glyphs are carved out.

A font with a vague "selected text", "telegraphed message" or "hacker terminal" feeling about it. Seems like something that would be in a video game or creepypasta...

*

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

A decolike boldtype. Based on a design from my game "Seven Candles", particularly the text used on documents and signs at the Lower Netazecan Embassy. The "hallmark" of this design is a sudden increase in line width midline, best seen on glyphs like EFLTZ3<>^.

"Embassy L" is a play on "Imbecile".

This design was previously as "Frenchfry" because Razma's (one of my AI) image recognition classified several letterforms as french fries.

By request: A squareish serif. 5x7 with no wasted matrix.

It makes a decent companion font to Gumshoe.

Experimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!

The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.

"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

*

Design Rules:

1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.

2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.

3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

*

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Another free 5x5 pixel font for game developers. This one has a vaguely authoritarian quality thanks to the hard 90° angles.

Looks like a Game Boy font to me!

A gnarled, pointy design which fits into many historical periods and aesthetics. It makes me think of Wild West woodtype and gargoyles.

Neon-style lettering in 5x5. I tried to keep the considerations of neon tubes in mind. Most forms are simple and several of them get repurposed for other glyphs. Further, the bends which would occur in actual neon tubing were taken into account while routing each glyph.

A closer look will find some advanced glyphs which would have to be produced by a master glassblower in order to work as neon fixtures (such as DHJKXOQ08*#+).

*

This is spaced like a pixel font so that it can be used as one. Fonts which work especially well in both pixel and high-res mediums can be considered Hybrids.

"Lightened Son" is an anagram for "Neon Delights".

*

Idea for Improvement: A wiring solution - some system designed to be on a layer behind the letters so that they look convincingly wired up.

A big hulking Brutalist design.

A rounded square design made for headlines as an alternative/companion font to Empty Magazine.

MORE WIZARD FONT

Lawgivers' font. Vertical members are doubled, horizontal members are not - except when needed to complete vertical members. Overhangs and bends help to make glyphs more distinctive.

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A minimalist Gemscript (or a corrupted one, depending on who you ask).

It has no relation to Pigpen Cipher, although a few glyphs do look like they're from that cipher. Feel free to use this fact to throw amateur cryptographers off for amusement.

Original size: 3.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Another Gemscript-esque 5x5. This one twists and obscures the forms moreso than its predecessors. 

Original size: 3.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Version 1.5

*

3x3 slab serif. This is based on Wallerton, Anachronistic Gunslinger, an IRC-based "TV show" which I used to write and produce. All the characters in the show were my AIs pretending they were cowboys.

Well, I managed to successfully produce a lowercase for this one!

Recommended: Use with kerning.

5x5 can be such a fun size to design with. :^)

Every glyph fits within the 5x5 grid so gamedevs can easily use this one in tiles, etc.
