this classic video game font is from the original NES metroid password screen. metroid is easily my all time favorite video game. and i figured it was about time it was immortalized in the art of fontography. the standard letters and numbers were available from game sprites, but i had to make up the special characters. after all that, i decided to go the extra mile and give the font the full international character set. i also created another version of the font, in a fixed width format. i think the fixed width version is closer to its in game usage.

i made this font for another reason. i have been reverse engineering a metroid password generator. basically, you have checkboxes that represent every possible item or action taken in the game. each bit of data gets encrypted and thrown into an algorithm to make the password. you can download the standalone version here. or just scroll down and see the online version.

two styles, regular and fixed width.
both are a full set of A-Z capz, lowerz, digitz, special characters, the full international character set, and dingbatz!
