[New Hi-Score] Pixel Art Font + Bitmap
New Hi-Score is a pixel art typeface inspired by the pop-up texts of retro arcade games. It has a bold outline that gives volume and tridimensionality, making it a great font for texts that are supposed to stand out on a screen.
This is an upgrade of an old typeface of mine, Hi-Score, to which I added many new glyphs and various accents so it can better function in text and/or interface. The font also supports both upper and lowercase. This is the list of characters currently supported (if there's any new set of characters that you'd need for your project, please let me know. I'm constantly updating my assets so they can benefit as many people as possible):
| ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~¡¢©ª´º¿÷ ÀÁÂÃÄÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜ àáâãäèéêëìíîïòóôõöÑñÇç |
Note: the font is intended to be used with a kerning value of -2 (at it's original size of 16 points; kerning value will change proportionally with size) so the outlines can properly overlap when characters are paired, making for a better visual. This value can be changed in almost any software you decide to use the font on. If you have any doubt about this or any other related to the font, just drop a comment and I'll be sure to address it as soon as I can.
By purchasing this font you will receive a working True Type Font (.ttf) file containing all of the mentioned above, along with .png files of all its glyphs. The TTF file can be installed just by opening it in most operational systems.
Edit: There are now also bitmap files for the font: FNT, XML and TXT files with corresponding glyph atlas PNGs. There are 4 PNG files with different styles for the characters; those are just suggestions and you can easily change the font to the style of your liking by using one of them as a starting point. I have little experience with bitmap fonts so if you run into any issues, please let me know with a comment and I'll work on those.

does it have Bitmap?
It doesn't at the moment but it's a great idea.
I'll add the XML and FNT files and the corresponding TXT and glyph atlas PNG, is there anything else you would like to see?
BMT & ATLAS PNG WOULD BE GREAT AS YOU MENTIONED. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SINCE THE GAME ENGINE I USE IS BETTER WITH BITMAP. THANK YOU!
I just added the bitmap files and 4 PNGs with simple style variations for the characters.
I have worked with bitmap fonts only a couple times so there may be issues, if you run into any just let me know and I'll work on fixing them ASAP :)
Hey there, nice work on the font. I noticed some missing characters in the characters-new-hi-score.png and characters-new-hi-score(200%).png files: period and underscore, in case you find time to update those.
It's pretty nice.
Thank you!
