Welcome

This site gathers bitmap/bytemap fonts, saved and extracted mostly from games and demoscene, drawn and pixelated by various graphicians and artists, lost and forgotten in time.

You can find hundreds upon hundreds of those fonts here, either as pictures or, better yet, in a file format that allows basic (macro)typography. Feel free to browse the list, filtered either by initial letter of the font name (above right) or more specifically (via form above, left).

In closer look

A font is a set of characters. Bitmap is a map of bits (picture). A bitmap font is a set of pictures as its proprietary characters.

We can further distinguish pixelated/image fonts with just two colours (black or white, foreground or background) and fonts drawn with more than one colour. Let's call these bytemap fonts.

The fonts published here are of several origins:

  • pictures gathered by Daniel Guldkrans
  • font art from the archive of Carsten Cumbrowski
  • bytemap fonts of the 8-bit scene – mostly Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum
  • bytemap fonts of the 16-bit scene – mostly Atari ST and Amiga
  • other fonts from various sources (old demos, intros, etc.) converted by me

Wherever I could get a grip of the name of the author, I mentioned them in the file description. A lot of these fonts are many years old, some even decades. Font that were part of some games are now so called abandonware. I'm going to assume in good faith that all bitmap fonts shown here are freeware.

If you happen to be an author of a certain font presented here that you do not wish to be available, then feel free to contact me and I will make quick amendments to remove it from this website.

Similarly, if you happen to find an error in the description of any font, please, tell me what to fix in the discussion below each font.

Thanks in advance!

What's in it for me?

Let this site be helpful to you if:

  • you are a graphic designer seeking for some cool bitmap fonts
  • you are a programmer and would like to implement the BMF file-format
  • you'd like to have a pic of your text drawn by one of the fonts

Enjoy!

2020-09-02 09:30:54 Zbenghttps://demozoo.org/productions/72278/ is the complete disk magazine. see "Pack contents" in the link.
https://demozoo.org/productions/117952/ is the disk magazine intro by ULM (included in the disk). See "Packed in" in the link.

https://demozoo.org/productions/78216/ looks like the same font, but like in many cases with the Guldkrans collection, the colors seem to be a bit off. Maybe Guldkrans made some re-coloring on his GIF collection...

In my next ripping session, I'll try to get the original version for you from this demo.
2020-09-02 03:04:45 adminAccidently, I found a glimpse of it (I think) here - https://demozoo.org/productions/78216/
2020-09-02 03:03:41 adminNot sure if Disk Maggie #5 is this one https://demozoo.org/productions/117952/ or this one https://demozoo.org/productions/72278/
2020-09-01 21:15:46 adminZbeng: Oh, you're right - I should exchange these two and make the darker one as a variant to the main one.

(edit: 22:15 did it)
2020-09-01 19:59:46 ZbengI would keep both.
I ripped this one without noticing it was in the Guldkrans collection. My PNG was converted from the Atari ST native degas picture, so the colors are as close as possible to the source.
I just wonder what is the source that was used for "293".
The colors are so much darker than the GIF, so the GIF was probably not processed from the BMF.
