Pixel Fonts
December 16th, 2009 by Admin

As with many of our creations, my foray into pixel fonts was out of necessity. I was working on our upcoming webcomic and wanted a pixelated font for the lettering. Thing was, I was not concerned about size. I wanted something on the larger side, but still with some style to it. At the time, most of the fonts were just too small to be read on a large scale. I was lucky enough to come upon an online bitmap font maker [link], which allowed me to create my own. The site is awesome for the casual user. You can create a full font set, including all standard typographical character. However, since it is an online utility, the fonts can be a bit off and need manual kerning. For a free utility, though, it’s a small complaint.

Eventually, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase commercial software to make my fonts. Since then, I have remastered my original fonts, plus made several more. My true love is pixel fonts, which is what I have exclusively made thus far. I may branch out into regular fonts later, but for now am happy to stick to this.

I will be featuring the fonts in separate entries. To view them all, click on the FONT category button in the left-hand navigation bar.
