Bookxel
A downloadable asset pack
A readable and legible pixel font with an Open Font License. It was developed and iterated upon for a couple released and unreleased games and editors. You can see how Bookxel was used in small games such as Switched, Squash, Mcdonald's Farm, Slightly Unconventional Platformer. It uses some techniques and guidelines to make the reading experience smooth. This makes it suitable for pixel-themed editors and versatile for pixel art games who need a general purpose font.
To keep the font clear one needs to use factors of 2 on top of the base size of 16 by 16 pixels. So for instance, font-sizes: 16, 32, 64 are suitable.
Included is a co-developed font icons pack of 16 by 16 pixels, aptly named for common functions or things. Useful as editor icons or to integrate in the text as icons. They are useful in editor applications. The icons are easily editable in shape and color with a pixel editor.
For Godot engine developer there are font presets available to keep the font clear.
Tools used: BitFontMaker2 for the font and Piskel for the icons.
