awesome font!
Adorei essa fonte! Bem legível e super bonitinha.
Agradeço por disponibiliza-la :3
Great font and great description!
Thank you :D
Tiny and legible. What’s not to like?
Great font, great support!
Thank you!
Our twins (who just started school this September) and I are building an UI for a very small screen, and we were looking for a nice font to go with it. Something they find fun, and can read.
This will be that font. Thank you, for creating something so delightful!
This looks dope!
oh this looks nice, I'll definitely use it in something!
Very cool font. I like it.
This is a great font! Very legible and aesthetically appealing, not an easy accomplishment, especially for a pixel font of this resolution!
A very cute little font! I highly recommend it! <3
The ideal monospace pixel font; reduced to the smallest possible dimensions before risking legibility. A perfect font.
Gorgeous font! Crisp and clean, great to have the extended character set too. Italics are lovely as well :)
Hello! I used your font in my recent project:
https://tennights.itch.io/the-frog-in-the-well

Yo. I used your font in my game. Thank you very much!

Best font out there. I used it in two of my recent games and I love it. Thanks for your work :)
Here is the latest one if you wanna check it out
Super awesome font! Thank you for freely sharing it with the community! ^^
I was led here today due to my following VisuStella.
Love this font. I’ve used it in quite a few of my games now, and it’s basically my go-to for anything low-rez that’s also readable. It’s so clean but still stylish, great job!
This is amazing! But what's the difference is between the normal and extended versions?
Hola buenas, me gusto mucho tu trabajo, una consulta yo estoy usando tu font, pero en GDeveloper, y el problema es que se ve borrozas, y oviamente estuve buscando y una persona creo uno para bitmap con tu font pero no es extendida, tu podrias agregar (crear)

Muchas gracias!
Awesome,I recently used in my tutorial<3!
This is absolutely splendid, I'm especially excited about the italicized fontset. It is just simply gorgeous!
This font looks great, but I'm really curious how you produced monogram-bitmap.png? monogram-bitmap.png is perfect at 6x12, but taking monogram.ttf file and trying to reproduce the results in monogram-bitmap.png at that kind of size/resolution produces a big mess for me. I tried rendering it with SDL2, in Aseprite, a whole bunch of random "bitmap font creation" tools like BitMap Font Builder. Rendering the TrueType at a small size always produced nonsense. Is there a trick that you used to produce the perfect 6x12 bitmap yourself, and if so is there any chance you could share that trick?
Hey there. Not sure what you mean, but just typing into Aseprite's text tool with font size 16 works on my end.
Here's a quick screen recording I just took:
Ah thank you! I think the thing I was missing was using size 16 or a multiple of 16. At that size the glyphs come out at 6x12 pixels and all the lines are perfect.
oooooh, fancy :3
lovely font! any chance of a .otb version? i’m interested in using Monogram as the default UI font on a Linux machine, and while that’s technically possible with the .ttf version it’s much easier to avoid scaling shenanigans with a proper bitmap format. (I’m currently using Cozette which provides a .otb but lacks italic support.)
Thank you! I can certainly give it a try, but I have never exported fonts as .otb before.
I got a pretty packed week ahead, so it's unlikely I'll have much time to look into it right away. But I'll let you know if it works out!
Awesome font! I used it in my last game for the whole dialogue part and it was a blast!
The game is a Scrabble-like game set in space and this font is perfect
Amazing font.Thank you :) I used it in my silly game for a game jam.

Someone showed me this font recently and my first thought was that it would look nice in Minecraft, so I made a resource pack and uploaded it to Modrinth if anyone else thought the same: Monogram Font for Minecraft
Ooh awesome, thanks for letting me know!
10/10 font, thank you for making it! just used it for my little adventure game: A Next Level Adventure
My favorite font. I often use it in my games. And in the last game I left a link to the font (About -> Assets): ELEVATION
Nice font!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Thanks a lot for the font!
How do you use it in Pico-8? I can't open the .p8 file.
Hm, might be a version compatibility issue. Opens fine for me on v0.2.5g. What version are you running?
version 0.2.5g, too. Just noticed I don't know my Humble Bundle login info so I can't update it to 0.2.6.
I've looked into it and it seems some stuff was loading in the wrong order, so the font didn't display until you ran the .p8 file twice.
I've pushed a new cart version that should fix that. Also confirmed it works on v0.2.6b, at least on Windows. Could you download the new version and check again, please?
It works great! Thanks, I'll credit you if I use it, it's awesome and it definitely works. I had a restriction that was prohibiting opening it in Pico-8.
Glad it's working! Let me know if you end up using it!
Thanks for the amazing font!
I've created my first game using it.

That's awesome, congrats on your first game!
Crisp and Clean! Stunning font, used it for most of my game: Spammerina

Thank you! Game's looking slick, good luck on your launch!
Hey! Very nice font. Is the font in the thumbnail also another one made by you? I can't seem to find it, so a link would help. :)
Thank you! The font on the thumbnail is just text typed with monogram that I upscaled/anti-aliased by hand. I have considered supporting larger sizes or adding a smoother version to monogram, but I don't have type to implement that at the moment, unfortunately.
hey I’d say having a smoother version in the thumbnail is accidentally a bit deceptive, I went back and forth a couple times to make sure I’d clicked on the right thing. either way this pixel font is super cute, not really complaining!
Yeah, I think you might be right. I originally smoothed out the font in the thumbnail because I was a bit frustrated by how the crisp pixely version looked under itch's default image compression/scaling, but I can see how keeping it like this can be misleading.
I'll try and replace the thumbnail in the coming days to clear up any confusion. Thanks for the feedback!
Following up here: I've updated the thumbnail text to use the non-smoothed version of font. Thanks again for the earnest feedback!
hey no problemo, it’s looking good :]
perfect
Hi,
I used your font in my game : Memento Mori. Your work is amazing and thanks to you, my game has a nice font. If you want to test it, go ahead (it's free).
Awesome, glad you found it useful! I've added your game to my collection of projects using monogram, I'll try and check it out soon!
Have fun while playing my game :) !!!
P.S : I have to make a report of the players' opinions because this game is a school project. So if you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, do not hesitate to tell me.
If russian is already supported, perhaps you could also add "і","ї", and "ґ" for Ukrainian support?
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! That was entirely my bad, I though I had covered those characters already.
Just pushed a new version with them included!
Thanks!!
