Excellent work! Thanks so much for clearly spelling out which sizes are good and recommended font settings. So many other fonts miss this! I'll probably use this as the font for opening old scrolls in my rogue like.
Just added a snapshot of the font in action in my profile. Looks perfect! Thanks again! :) Really love the aesthetic of your work.
Thanks so much for the credits! So nice to see these fonts in action in your screenshots! Will definitely follow the developments of your rogue-like project (:
This is stunning! The colors, too, are just brilliant! Idk if it's your thing, but if you could make a tileset with this same blue theme with the norse/medieval/rune vibes, I'd LOVE THAT. Five stars for this, anyway!
Thanks for the five stars! Always nice when the atmosphere of the page is well noticed because it’s something important to me! I had this blue theme originally planned for a project of celtic runes (aka. oghams) that I scrapped but you’re making me reconsider it :D
