Riverbank

Another one that started in 2019 that took some time to polish-off for release. The challenge here was to try and get a very clean looking flowing hand-written type. Iā€™d already had a go with the hand-written style in Forgotten and a flowing type in Coolant but not both together. Itā€™s especially challenging in a mono-space font because joining the characters is important and you donā€™t want long horizontal strokes creating ā€˜dashesā€™ betweenĀ letters.

I think it came out quite well. Itā€™s readable (at least on LCD screens, I have yet to try it on a CRT) and can even work for text adventures if your audience can read ā€œcursiveā€ (most people interested in text-adventures are old enough to be able to read/write it I suspect but itā€™s probably not a bad idea to let them toggle to somethingĀ simpler).
