I’m getting errors from several pixel glyphs because FontForge claims they’re Self Intersecting. Perhaps adding more glyphs in the future.Possibly adding more families, weights and variants (serif, oblique, condensed, light, angular, rounded, outline, …) at some point.Basic mono regular variant is only partially implemented, and some existing glyphs there might need to be reworked.Kerning is only partially implemented (ASCII glyphs) on pixel sans regular.Line height might not work correctly as I’m still a bit confused about all of FontForge’s settings for different platforms.Just because pixels are blocky doesn’t mean the glyphs need to be.Make sure each letter is easily distinguishable from one another.Reuse basic shapes to maintain consistency.What would an optimal 5x9 pixel typeface look like (generally speaking, as e.g.Some vague design guidelines I try to follow: so… maybe it’s general purpose? Where would you use a font like this?Ĭurrently, there’s five different variants of the font available for preview & download: If you can name more typefaces I could draw inspiration from, do let me know in the comments! I haven’t really decided where I think the typeface should be used, but I could imagine it being used on street signs, marketing, programming, games, interfaces, etc. There’s probably some video games that use a similar font, too. The pixel font has similarities to the fonts used in devices like Apple II, Texas Instruments graphing calculators and Motorola MC6847, while the vectorized pixels approach is inspired in part by ProFont (which my typeface’s name is sort of a reference to). Prof Neue is a “pixel-based typeface”, so it’s essentially a pixel font with a round vector variant conforming to the same pixel grid. I’ve worked as a game designer, a user interface designer, a web designer and a graphic designer, but never a type designer, so I figured constraining my design to pixels would make the process of creating my first font a bit easier. I’m an amateur with no formal education on typography and have learned the basics of FontForge in the last four weeks or so. Hey there! I’m currently designing a typeface as a hobby and would like to get feedback on it. Original post here – quick brown foxes jump to comment there, lazy dawgs can comment over here. This is a cross-post from r/typedesign, which is a subreddit dedicated to type design, but I figured the larger community over here might be interested in this too.
