ZX Origins

I have designed many 8x8 bitmap fonts for the 8-bit ZX Spectrum over the years and you can download them here to use in retro or “8-bit” themed (or in fact any) games you create - just drop me an email to let me know so I can showcase your game such as these ZX Spectrum games using ZX Origins fonts.

Each page shows various simulated screens using the typeface, some back-story on the design and inspiration as well as any variations, some alternatives and of course the download ZIP containing the various individual styles in a number of formats:

• ch8 Spectrum raw 768-byte binary
• tap Spectrum tape image (styles packed into one)
• fzx Proportional FZX font
• psf PC Screen Font
• bdf Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format
• png Portable Network Graphics
• ttf TrueType
