What it does for your game

  • No more blurry game text: The TTF and bitmap versions stay crisp at native size and its whole multiples, so dialogue and HUD numbers stop smearing on screen.
  • One family on every screen: Blocky titles on the menu, 5x7 dialogue in the text box, Tiny 3x5 numbers on the HUD and Mono timers that keep their width.
  • 6 fonts, two formats: 95 printable ASCII characters each, as TTF plus PNG and BMFont .fnt at 1x, 2x and 3x, every TTF checked pixel for pixel.

6 pixel fonts for games, as TrueType files and as bitmap fonts (PNG + BMFont .fnt). Dialogue text, HUD numbers, titles and tables in one matching family. Every font has the 95 printable ASCII characters.

Licence in one line: use and embed the fonts in your commercial games; do not resell the font files.

The fonts

  • Gridwright 5x7 (9 px): the main text font: capitals, lowercase, digits, punctuation
  • Gridwright 5x7 Bold (9 px): the same letters one pixel heavier
  • Gridwright 5x7 Mono (9 px): every character 6 px wide: for tables, timers, consoles
  • Gridwright 5x7 Outline (9 px): a 1 px outline layer with the same spacing as Regular: draw it under Regular in a dark colour
  • Gridwright Tiny (6 px): 3x5 capitals for HUD numbers and small labels
  • Gridwright Blocky (12 px): chunky 6x10 capitals for titles

They come from two original designs: 5x7 (with lowercase) and Tiny 3x5 (capitals). Bold, Mono and Outline are built from 5x7; Blocky is Tiny at double size. Tiny and Blocky show capital shapes for lowercase letters.

Made to drop in

  • TTF files for any engine or tool. Crisp at the native size and its whole multiples (9, 18, 27 px for 5x7).
  • Bitmap fonts: a PNG sheet and an AngelCode BMFont .fnt per font, at 1x, 2x and 3x.
  • Tested: every TTF was rendered and compared pixel for pixel with the source bitmaps.
  • The Outline font is a layer: same spacing as Regular, so you get outlined text by drawing two fonts on top of each other.
  • fonts.json lists sizes and metrics; the README explains how to keep text sharp.
