How to make Pixel Art Fonts!

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

I dare you to write your next school/work assignment in Wongdongs.

[@Nana-qc3sd]

💀 maybe homework

[@baseddust014]

Challenge Accepted.

[@ritamtalukdar6079]

Can you make a video on “How export your sprites to unity”.

[@ireadysucks3026]

he probably can’t because he doesn’t do that stuff. (game dev, and things like that

[@xdiatia4197]

You are WAAAY too underrated, gonna share your videos with a lot of people, people like you should be known

[@jonathanagyekum5012]

i bought your premium font, i did it for two main reason: first, you are really an ispiration for me, in both pixelarts and yt, i'm going to open my channel and my goal it's to reach your quality on it, you are really good, second i really love those fonts, keep going!

[@mambe4349]

Cool

[@kitosanimations]

What happened? You said you would start a channel

[@yevanasvetya5486]

yea wheres the vids dudee?

[@senseweaver01]

Hey Pixel, I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! I was wondering what program you're using to make your art, I want to get into it too, it looks brilliant!

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Right now I use a free program called Piskel, but I recently bought Aseprite and will slowly be moving to that.

[@senseweaver01]

@@PixelOverloadChannel Awesome! That means I can see how much I enjoy it before committing actual money to it. Pleaaaaaaase never stop making videos!

[@corepunch]

I was making fonts in the 90s in high school for my DOS games

[@DawidLewandowski-ev7rd]

u are the best, but i have a question are u game dev or somethink couse all our videos had that unique feeling of u speeking of making assets to games

[@MikoziQ]

$1 Font pack is a steal. If I ever decide to come back to my YT Unity stuff (My last video was around a year ago lol), I would love to use your fonts sometimes . Thanks for great videos!

[@paypercutts]

Very helpful and interesting vid mate! Long time watcher of ya vids, first time commenter. Your channel has been very very helpful in my pixel art journey. Keep up the great work!

[@smlglob]

im unsure how u get the capital and lowercase letters to scale properly in fontforge. when i import they all just scale to fit the size or are wayyyy to small if i uncheck that box ur video makes it seem like it just works ive done everything step for step

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

hmm. Try exporting the glyphs with extra spacing/padding around them? To do this you can just have an invisible square behind every letter in illustrator. But this process can be a bit painful, so check out some online programs www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/ to see if you like them better.

[@teabagNBG]

what software are u using to draw the letters at the beginning?

[@escapegoat573]

can i use your free fonts wherever i want?

[@2dapoint424]

What pixel editor are you using?

[@hydrasdiary]

im actually spreed running all your videos. And oh my god they are visual masterpieces 😭 i cant imagine the blood, sweat and tears put into each video. I had a little pixel game idea from newjeans' x powerpuff girls collab and i just wanted smth simple but im literally considering trying this type of stuff out. Problem is, i cant draw so

[@adog3129]

that 4x4 font blew my mind, i never would have thought anything close to that was possible but you pulled it off shockingly well

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

@@adog3129 Thanks! There's actually some pretty cool 3x3 ones out there believe it or not

[@omle8492]

Ive been using these fonts as my main pixel art fonts for practically everything I do. Thanks so much Pixel Overload!

[@Ampr_a]

Your channel is awesome thank you for the video

[@riskblade327]

"I can't buy the premium 😞" Maybe soon I guess

[@ryanmartinson8405]

This is great! Nice job pulling this together. Very easy to follow!

[@chidorirasenganz]

I would recommend Figma over illustrator and inkscape

[@gregoryam]

I love the aesthetic of your videos. I understand this was 2 years old, but I've recently found your channel and absolutely love it.

[@gustavomonte6672]

Bro....speechless..thanks a lot for the content +1!

[@bjornfredberger]

Enjoy the cup of coffee that you're now able to buy! I will try to remember to let you know once I finish my current game projects, in a few dozen years

[@MewMewMakeVideo]

Hi there, hope you're still around checking comments haha. I was really curious about your process for fonts which included multiple colors. Your bones, metallic, mecha, and steampunk font all seem currently impossible for me to do unless I set my font up as an emoji spritesheet in unity. Is there a specific process that differs in getting color fonts to work?

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Hey! Yeah, unfortunately coloured fonts are only supported by Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. Setting up the letters as a spritesheet is sort of the only current way to do it in unity unfortunately. Hope that helps!

[@ThiagoGlady]

Hey man, congratulations for your fonts! They are beautiful. I'm making my first game, is there any problem if use one of yout fonts in it and comercialize the game?

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Hey sorry for the late reply; totally okay to do whatever you want with them! Good luck on your first game, that's really exciting!

[@oblybion7879]

I just freaking love how you make the futuristic robots, i'm a noob (At pixelart), and i don't know how you do to do it look so beautyfully great!

[@lucasmarciel1527]

Its good aselrite exports to svg

[@pixzelbeast7451]

I FUCKIN LOVE YOU😭❤️🙏

[@omle8492]

The font pack was an instant buy! Firstly I get to support a creator I love, secondly I don't have to go through the process of making fonts and 3rdly I get a bunch of cool fonts I couldnt make myself for my game!

[@lilyofluck371]

How do you make stylized fonts?

[@SunnyDeeMusings]

I need your help! Okay so I created my own pixel font and input this one into illustrator and made the object mosaic like you said.This is where I get lost. How do you merge all individual fonts? I saw you quickly go to select>same>full colour that did nothing. What am I missing here? Shift + 4 you mentioned quickly but that didn’t seem to work either. I feel silly over this blunder and so close to having a font here! I tried to use the shape builder tool but it misses details within the font I don’t want missing. Thank you in advance!

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Hey! So there's a window in illustrator called 'pathfinder', you can find it in the properties tab. If you've lost it, just go 'Window > Pathfinder'. There will be four main icons, the first is *Unite*, and it joins multiple shapes into one. It's the one you want to use. Select all the black squares for one letter, and unite them into a single shape by clicking that button. Helpful video by someone else: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJWnZHmFjctpl8U I went to Select>Same>Full Colour because I wanted to get rid of all the white surrounding shapes as I didn't need them. Ctrl+4 can be used as a *Unite* hotkey because it repeats the last pathfinder command.

[@AngryecksButActually]

god your cool

[@Dialethian]

Create Object Mosaic - Wow! Subbed for this sorta insight.

[@Williod]

Thank you. It is interesting to see your videos. Especially how you are learning.

[@seanvanriel]

I like making pixel art fonts with FontStruct

[@jasonmeintjes5955]

I like your pixel art you deserve subs and likes.I'm so glad that I discovered your channel,keep it up!!!

[@feliscape]

How do you only have 13k subscribers?

[@noiJadisCailleach]

If you have Promotion NG, you could just skip to 4:37

[@hernanscanavino]

Great video, but Fontstruct should be mentioned. It's the place to go to make or find "pixel style" fonts

[@jotaeagles8749]

Nice video, but I'd recommend to not hide the tools you use behind your "editor" overlay. People watching your videos are probably interested in the tools you use :)

[@yukimilo7511]

I just start learning this, Thank you!😇

[@jimmihenry]

How to setup the spacing between the letters and words? Does size matter if you save the vector graphics?

[@maxstrong3583]

You can't spell typography without pog

[@kipchickensout]

I was just interested in the topic in general, I don't really have a use for a font right now but great video!

[@John489_2]

Almost definitely going to get the premium pack

[@lil-zoned-out6532]

Lifesaver! need to keep this in mind next time I make fonts!

[@Pavelbalaban]

I am interested in these things, I will buy fonts when I need them, used in every part of quality designed games, also there are lots of quality pixel art fonts for a cheap price, also thank you for making video of how to make your own fonts! great work keep it up!

[@adrianhagerman1702]

I agree with the other comments, amazing quality of knowledge and visuals! Thanks!

[@guidonatanielmolinapietrob9698]

gracias al usuario que hizo la traduccion y mas a pixel overload por tutorial

[@ArtistthiccArttwerks]

underated channel.

[@TheeCelestial]

Good job bro! ❤️

[@muhammedsamilalbayrak4672]

thank you brother

[@bini420]

This is very useful!

Show! 👏

[@frocco7125]

THIS IS GREAT!

[@somnvm37]

one thing to know about making fonts is that you have to have a limited amount of shapes, out of which you'll build everything. Letters need to 'rhyme' visually. Look at wvy or qpdb or rn m or lit ofc you can have ome exceptions

[@oconnors03]

Your content is so helpful and well done. You’re a Hidden gem.

[@steppeone]

Been messing around with Fontself for a while, and wanted to get into pixel art for a few projects I am working on (ttcw-rpg on itch, if you play any TTRPGs.) Your channel has been a revelation, super helpful with the tutorials you have, and your assets are fantastic. Just bought the premium font pack a few minutes ago and will definitely tag you in any pixel stuff I end up making. Truly phenomenal channel. I wish I could subscribe twice.

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

That's awesome to hear, keep me posted on whatever you make!

[@tine4615]

Thank you soo much for ur wonderful tutorial, I am really bad in making fonts in pixels, I also just wanted to ask what apps do you use in making your fonts?
