A downloadable pixel font

This font was created "accidentally" while working on my tile-editor. It contains all 94 printable ASCII characters, and is 1-bit to minimize palette spend on low-bpp platforms.

The top and left pixel edges of every character are blank, and every alpha-numeric character spans a full 7-pixels of width for uniformity of spacing. The bottom edge is only used for lowercase descenders or punctuation characters outside of a few special cases to work around cramped characters.

The downloadable CHR data (NES) uses only colors 0 and 1, and it is not laid out according to ASCII character coding, as most people will likely reorganize and remove unused characters anyways.

Enjoy!
