In April 2020 Maxim from the Phantasy Star retranslation project reached out to see what could be done about the plain font in the Sega Master System game.

The brief was futuristic but old which were quite at odds with each other so I took a few cues from the Phantasy Star title screen and went with an angular theme that still spouted plenty of chunky serif flair.

This font works surprisingly well for blocks of text, titles and headings.

Can be seen in Phantasy Star English Retranslation, The Nightland, Lunar Sea, and Secrets of the Maze Mage.
