The Font Question
We all wonder. We all ask it. And anyone who's ever made any graphic knows it.
"What font did you use?"
Well, here's the resource of the fonts we use. We cover pixel fonts, as well as non-pixel fonts, giving examples of where they've been used and easy links to download them.
If a link for a download doesn't work, let me know and I'll fix it.
I'll try to keep this updated as often as possible.
Icon Snagging Info: if you'd like to snag any of these, feel free. They are, for the most part, my icons, but this might change as this is updated more. If a different designer isn't noted, it's by me, enriana. Just remember to comment. :)
The Pixel Fonts
These are the fonts you'll use the most in icons. Note: they'll look odd unless you use them at their ideal size, which should be listed on the download page. Sometimes this varies between program and program, so you may need to fiddle around a bit until you find what works best. Make sure you do not have anti-alias checked or selected when using any of them.
BM Mini
Grudblitter
Pixelade
Redensek
Sevenet 7 (best at 6pt)
Silkscreen
Non-Pixel Fonts
These are the fonts you'll use occasionally, usually only with one or two words in an icon (as shown below). Make sure you have anti-alias checked or selected when using them, or they'll look very jagged. They're used in all sizes, but usually between 16 and 36.
