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. I hope to showcase some real games in the future.
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:
Enjoy some of these 156 typefaces containing a total of 296 individual fonts. (Fonts published in the last 3 months are labelled New)
