Sevenish

Download the font here! (MIT Open Source License)

This is my latest font project. Within the limitation of having letter bodies be about seven pixels tall (emphasis on about, hence the -ish in Sevenish), I want to include a wide support of languages and writing systems in this font. Because I'm only fluent in languages that use the Latin script, I don't have much of an intuition for what is legible and looks good in many of these writing systems. If you have experience with any of these and want to give feedback, I would appreciate it very much. One way you could do this would be by asking me on Tumblr.

This project is pretty much on indefinite pause. Trying to get the coding for Devanagari to work made me realize that it's too messy to fix, so maybe someday I'll go do another font and be more careful from the start, but the languages listed in the samples enough should work decently enough.














All samples taken from the respective languages' Wikipedias.

Sitelen Pona Variant

I assume most people who find this website will be familiar with this already, but just in case; toki pona is a minimalist conlang, and sitelen pona is one of the main writing systems used for it (alongside Latin). While the main font has some toki pona support, it's very inconvenient to type; some websites can convert Latin text into the unicode points used for sitelen pona (maybe I'll make one too, but other people have made them better than I could already), but I don't know if there's any sort of IME to do that instantaneously. But it doesn't matter! Because there's a separate version of this font called SevenishSP, and it has a bunch of ligatures to let you easily type in sitelen pona (these features also make typing with the Latin alphabet a pain, which is why it's a separate font file).

This variant of the font is meant to be monospaced, with characters used in sitelen pona writing all being 8 pixels wide. Spaces are zero-width because each word is represented by a single character; it is still recommended to type spaces, so that the font's ligatures will be applied properly. Typing two subsequent spaces will result in an 8-pixel space.
