Here's the Nes-style one. Normal size and 2X. Still working on the other.

Cool, thanks!
But what about lowercase letters?

Just a thought - some of the letters are two pixel width and the other ones are only one-pixel width; it might be better to have them of a uniform width?

@Sorunome: I was thinking about this. The original font didn't have lowercase, but I can add them if you like.
@Leafy: I was trying to keep them as close to the original as possible. The original is 8 pixels wide though iirc, so that's why it came out like that. Despite the nonconformity, I think it came out pretty good. I could try to make them more uniform, but I'm not sure how it would look. I'd have to make them all 1 pixel wide, because 2 pixels would look really bad with some of these. Honestly, the 5x5 font I made is more uniform and looks better IMO, but eh.. whatever. :P

Quick revision of the font trying to make them more uniform. They've been fattened up now. Thoughts?

Actually the D is still wrong I think :P

Looks nice in general, though.

Yes, that's exactly what I envisioned them looking as. Great work, although there are a few incongruous ones (Like DJ pointed out, the letter D looks a bit off?)

Just one thing: I think I recall the standard NES lowercase fonts being overly small compared to their uppercase counterpart, so much that they were totally unfitting. It might be best for lowercase to inspire yourself from Final Fantasy style lowercases, although it will most likely look similar to calc ones.

Final Fantasy is exactly what I am basing the lowercase font on. ;)

Ah ok cool :). At the same time the game will feel more true to RPGs :P

Any progress on the game btw Sorunome?

Ok, so originally, the plan was to create a lowercase font based off of the Final Fantasy font. I ended up free styling the entire lowercase set instead, and I am extremely happy with the results.  I may do a few minor tweaks, but for the most part it's done. Take a look! I also want to thank you guys (especially Leafy) for encouraging me to improve this font. It really came out great IMHO. :D

This actually looks pretty nice. Personally though I'm glad that the fonts could be kept the same size. This means the game doesn't have to be redesigned due to different NPC convo text box size.
