A 2020 attempt at creating a serious looking font without all the bother of squeezing in ascenders and descenders by using a small caps version I last tried with Localhost (which was designed to look quirky and not professional).

I was kind of surprised this turned out so clean and readable and I do wonder why some games and titles didn't go and use all-caps. Sure it's not the best for a text adventure but for titles, status screens and lists it's actually quite pleasant. The nature of capitals being so much more box-like brings together more of a virtual grid/alignment of text without the spacing that you get with ascenders and descenders intruding into the space.

The typeface contains two additional variants: one that reduces the height of the numerics from the same-size as capitals by 1 pixel to sit between the upper and lower case "Mid" and another that further reduces them to be the same height as the lower-case "Small".

Can be seen in Timo's Castle.
