I made a somewhat unusual pixel font: the largest glyph is 3x11 pixels. Because it expects the pixels to be non-square (2:1).

It is aimed primarily at Dragon 32/64's 128x192 resolution, and allows 32 columns/16 rows of text. Wide letters (wmWM) are surprisingly much more readable than you'd expect.

This font is going to be very useful for games that use rich graphics but still want to display lots of readable text. Potentially useful for Commodore 64 and other computers with 2:1 pixel ratio.

A photo of a CRT monitor displaying a (mock up) Wikipedia browser in a really low resolution.

The same mock-up screenshot of Wikipedia browser, but pixel-perfect. The browser shows the text of the "the quick brown fox" pangram page:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram – a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet. The phrase is commonly used for touch-typing practice, testing typewriters and computer keyboards, displaying examples of fonts, and other applications involving text where the use of all letters in the alphabet is desired.

A pixel screenshot of a visual novel game of sorts. A girl with dark hair pushes down a girl with light hair. The text says "Look, if you want a kiss, you should let me know. I am always happy to kiss those sweet lips >"

This is a 4x12 pixel font, primarily aimed at computers with non-square (double-width) pixels.

Dragon 32/64 has a glorious 128x192 two bits per pixel (almost greyscale) mode. Images look really great in 128x192, but text doesn't. This font accepts the limitation of the narrow horizontal resolution (each letter is, at most, 3 pixels wide), but uses extended vertical resolution to compensate for the lack of details in each letter.
This font can be especially useful for adventure games and RPGs that want to use non-monochrome modes yet have clearly readable font.

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt Also useful on the TRS-80 I imagine.
