If you use any of my fonts please feel free to pledge a small donation so that I can purchase the 200$ font creator software, so that I dont have to rely on my friend to compose them for me. Otherwise credits would be great.

Thanks
-Charlie

This is very cool man, and neat looking font! Awesome to see there is people that enjoy creating typefaces

matsman

these are some nice looking fonts without going over the top... might be a font that one can actually use.

Thanks! and great work!

LoTekK

These are some nice fonts! I'm rather liking FlexiBendi in particular. Thanks for providing these!

Very nice styles. I know it's a bit cheeky to ask since you're providing these for free but is there any chance you could add some non-standard characters? It mostly invovles putting dots, circles and lines all over exisiting letters so hopefully it won't be too bad

Thanks for bringing that up

I have stated in my unity post which I think i forgot to say here, once I hit my 200$ goal, I will be doing localisation (what you asked for) and uppercase/numbers for all fonts.

Thanks for all the compliments

Custom fonts available upon request for 150$. Currently looking for contract work www.csamways.com

New font coming soon, check OP

Snader

That last font looks like it's horribly scaled. If you make pixel art fonts, they gotsterbe clean.

charliesamways

Its scaled up in that image, and also the proportions are supposed to be funky and mis-mateched, The Other Brothers styled. if it is terrible in the final .ttf I will remove it

charliesamways

New image, hopefully it shows it off better

Snader

Except the fonts in The Other Brothers are pretty clean.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySGw09JkYog&feature=plcp"]The Other Brothers - Alpha Preview - YouTube[/ame]

text at 0:01 is very clean, possibly a rip from a (S)NES game.

logo at 0:05 is clean, they just have extralarge capitals

dangly blue neon at 0:07 is messy, but that's a heavily transformed/rotated bit of text, and is likely only ever going to be used in this specific video - not in the game

time and score at 0:11 and onwards are extremely clean, due to only using angular shapes

graffiti and such in the game are messy because, well, they're 'unique' decals and not a font.

logo at 0:42 is still clean. other text on that screen is probably badly scaled, and the T&B logo is too - because the faces are also distorted.

In other words, the messy fonts in the video are messy not because of style, but because of budget and time-related issues.

Alright, thanks for the critism, Ill work on it
