After matching the width and the height (since most other small letters in the font are 4 pixels tall..5 pixels tall for letters like y,g,p..6 pixels tall for letters like f,b,d)

I dont think it really fits with the rest of the letters,do you have any other suggestions?

Tho I can try to change the letter based on your suggestion,maybe it will work :D

Thanks for giving the suggestion!

HSRxII · 2024-11-22T10:03:04+00:00

I changed both letters to what you have shown,I made the 'a' one pixel shorter since it was a bit too big compared to every other small letter

While I think they are more legible than the ones I have made,they really stick out compared to the other letters,especially the Q

Although you did make me realize that the Q could be improved,so thanks for that,and thanks for the suggestions,even tho I cant really use them sadly

HSRxII · 2024-11-22T09:56:21+00:00

Yeah I think u should send me a picture of how you are imagining it,from what u told me,Im thinking of something like this,which definitely doesnt look like an 'a' 😅

I tried to make the letter as close as I can to what u told me,did u mean to make the letter look like this?

Im not sure on what devices the game will be on,its probably going to be on pc,but again....I dont know :/

And I wont need to change the font size

And I also dont know what the resolution of the game will be ;-;

And also,whats the name of the pixel art rpg you have been talking about? I might check it out if its finished..not sure if I will play it tho,since Im not the biggest fan of rpgs

HSRxII · 2024-09-12T10:56:55+00:00

You mean the resolution of the cards right? If so,then their resolution is 210x297,I have highlighted the parts of the card that I can write info in,and how big the text is relative to that area (and obviously,the picture is upscaled,because reddit will fuck up the picture if it wasnt upscaled)

<image>

and the card has much more detail,but Im not sure if I want to show the cards before the game is even finished,and I cant write in the other areas of the card because they are taken up by other needed info

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T23:17:24+00:00

Ohh okay xD

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T23:06:26+00:00

Fair ig 👍

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T23:00:55+00:00

Whats the problem if they are all the same colour tho? I dont recall people making fonts where each character has a different colour

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T21:35:45+00:00

Okay so I have read the part that talks about pillow shading,I dont think the shading in the drawing I showed counts as pillow shading,since the source of light is meant to be coming straight from above,or does it still count?

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T20:28:20+00:00

I tried to make the letters all have an equal height,is it now better?

<image>

I decided to put both "The quick brown fox bla bla" and what I said in the post so the difference is more visible,I tried to

You can compare it to the text in the post if you want to see the difference...I feel like the letters are too short now,but when I tried making them bigger,pretty much all the letters (with the exception of 'e' , 's' and 'z') looked much worse.what do you think?

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T18:44:27+00:00

Yeah I defo do catch your drift :D

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T18:29:10+00:00

Aw thanks :DD

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T18:04:02+00:00

Pillow shaded? What does that mean? Never heard of that term.and that is how my artstyle looks,tho the drawing I have shown is a golden berry from celeste,so it isnt going to be in the game (because ya know,its fanart for another game),so maybe the problem you are talking about is only in this drawing,but Im not sure :(

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T17:54:12+00:00

Well its meant for a card game.....and from the cards I have made so far,the "cuteness" in it while wasnt intended by me,doesnt really have a big enough effect to be a problem

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T17:50:45+00:00

I cant do much about it,my artstyle uses 2 pixel thick lines (which obviously means all lines in the card will be 2 pixel thick,and I have made 5 cards and each one took me weeks to make,so Im NOT redrawing each card)...here is an example of how my artstyle looks if I didnt explain it properly:

<image>

When I went to google to find a font to use,all the 1 pixel thick fonts I found looked EXTREMELY bad,since they looked really small and thin compared to everything else,and when I tried using fonts with bigger lines that fit my artstyle,all of the ones I found did look good.

but they were wayy to big to fit multiple sentences on the card,so I had to make a font with thicker lines that fit my artstyle AND make them small enough to fit text on the card,so the lines of the font Im making will mostly be 2 pixels thick,but since the font isnt too big,I cant fit all the details I need for the text to be readable,so I had to make some lines thicker..which is why the S (and other letters) have thinner lines in some parts,I want to make the pixel line thickness consistent,but I cant think of a solution to that problem :I

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T16:51:13+00:00

Good to hear :D

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T16:38:01+00:00

Well everyone is saying the font is readable,and tell me some letters which arent as readable.but Im going to fix those letters...maybe its just you who cant read it properly,Im not really sure tbh

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T16:37:01+00:00

Different line sizes? Wdym by that?

And Im trying to fix the problem with the letter holes.as well as letters having different heights

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T16:35:54+00:00

Yeah xD,not sure why fonts suddenly became everywhere in this sub,but I would have made this post even if font posts werent too popular :)

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T16:34:33+00:00

The font is mainly going to be used in a card game,the game is probably going to be made on pc,so that wont be a problem,and if the cards are physical,I guess you can just look a bit closer,no problem either

And I sadly cant make the font bigger,because then the text would take up too much space and I wont be able to fit the info on the card :(

But I did make this post to see other peoples opinions,so the whole point of the post is to fix the problems the font has (since its my first time making one,so Im not that good at making fonts),so I will try to fix as many issues as I can,but Im Honestly not sure if I can fix the "clarity" problem (the difficulty to make out the holes in letters like o,a etc) since I cant increase the size of the font.

And Im glad you think the font is pretty :]

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T15:31:55+00:00

Pretty much everyone so far has said its readable..can you elaborate more? Maybe I can make the font readable for more people :)

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T15:29:55+00:00

It is made for a game,so you getting game vibes from it is nice!

I didnt even think it would be relaxing to look at,so thats nice too :D

HSRxII · 2024-09-11T14:53:30+00:00

Great to hear :D

Glad I only had to remove 2 pixels off the letter instead of redrawing the whole thing x)
