ZX Eurostile

This 2020 BASIN production started as a discussion with Oli Wilkinson. He’s working on a Red Dwarf game for the Spectrum. Anyone into fonts who watches Red Dwarf (probably all 4 of us) know, Eurostile is heavily-featured throughout the show, from signage to branded Jupiter Mining Corporation goods (in ALL CAPS).

So, of course, I had to try Eurostile in 8x8 pixels. Some of the details are lost, and it becomes quite generic, like all 8x8 sans, but here it is.

It’s a very readable font suitable for all sorts of scenarios, including text adventures and long winding prose.

Can be seen in Friend Request, A Farmers Nightmare, Stranded, You Want a Piece of Me?, Recontra, The Virus, SMS Z80 instruction exerciser, and Star Runner.
