This font is a simple one, based on the "retro" computer fonts that you have probably seen on TV (think Dexter's Lab, or 90% of computer movies from the 70s and 80s). Hopefully someone can put it to use.

in a roundabout way i suppose. I was more so looking at various pictures from the 70s and 80s and basing it off of that. would have been easier to look at the Westminster font though. hehe.tepples wrote:WhoaMan: Let me guess, this is your interpretation of Westminster, itself an expansion of the MICR characters used on checks.
There are other formats for fonts, though. For example, there is METAFONT, which uses a program which contains vector outlines and whatever other stuff is needed (including hinting, parameters, etc) and then a device-independent metric file is generated, and a graphic file is generated which is specific to the device. (However, you do not need vector fonts for use with NES/Famicom.)lidnariq wrote:(Vector fonts would also be deemed too utilitarian, if separated from the microcode that runs the hinting algorithms.)
This actually reminds me of the font that was used on the title screen of the 1983 PC game "Digger" by Windmill Software.WhoaMan wrote:I was working on a font earlier for an NES game and decided that I would share it with the community for anyone who could put it to use in their own NES creations, and to encourage others to share their own fonts. If anyone would like to use this font or share a creation of their own, please feel free to do so
