Since I do a lot of pixel-art, I often find myself doing signage. Particularly with smaller pieces, it’s hard to make the letter legible. Usually it requires hand-pixelling the letters, which can be tedious. The Nano-Bit font was developed to be distinguishable and for lettering which will be read quickly and briefly. It’s not intended for large blocks of text.

This font is really best used in all-caps, though it features lower-case as well. This is a condensed, short font, but it is pixel wider that what you need, so it cannot be considered the most compact of fonts; it still may give you fits in super-tight spaces, but hand-kerning can help with that. This is a full font set, including ALL special characters. The zip file includes the font, a readme file, plus a copy of the graphic above so you can see the full set. When using a graphics program, this font works best at 6pts.

This font is free use for personal and non-commercial projects. If someone is interested in licensing for commercial work, there is more information in the readme.
