Thank you for looking through! This is an expansion on a typeface that I originally released last year called 'New Friend Mono'. At the time I was curious about using a 15x20 pixel grid to create monospaced type inspired by geometric sans-serifs and the Game Boy Advance era of games. However in recent weeks, I was interested in revisiting the project to see if italicized type could be accounted for.

I hope you enjoy! If you have suggestions on how to tighten up this project, I'm all for it!

Fantastic! I wish I could use it. Are you planning to make an upright version too?

Thank you! The project originally started with Regular + Bold, so the complete edition has those two variants alongside these italic versions!

I really like it!

Do you think it would present better in these specimens if the framework/surround was rendered in the same pixel density as the font? It kinda breaks the illusion at the moment.
