Idk why maybe my font-size on this screen is too small but when I glanced at that title I read: "Sex Pistols font for tiny screens" haha

Incomplete blog post! Where was the comparison vs. a 1x1 pixel font?

This is gorgeous. 5x5 is a wild constraint — every pixel has to earn its place. The fact that it's still readable at that size says a lot about the craft.

A 3x5 font does not sacrifice the M or W. H,M,W end up as similar looking characters, but the M has the center pixel one higher, and the W has the center pixel one lower.

This is great, i use a 3x3 font i drew up for lowres games, though there are many example that look mostly the same since it is such a small space.

Where was this when i was working on my 128x64 oled screen????

I ended up finding a bitmap and modifying it for my own needs. That was fun.

In the 3 x 2 example, the text is supposed to say “can probably” but I think the glyph for b was used instead, so it reads “you ban probably”.

Used this kind of font for output on the 320x200 screen all of the time in the late 80s while coding 68k asm on the Atari St

I've used 3x5 fonts on a couple of embedded projects and honestly the biggest pain isn't the font itself, its getting the spacing right.

I remember a weird font with a special alphabet made of dots or something like that. Not Braille, it was for fast reading or such.
