How to use

  • Unity: import the .ttf, use font size 9 or a multiple, texture filter Point.
  • GameMaker: import the .png as a sprite strip and use font_add_sprite_ext() (step by step in the README inside the zip).

  • You can't sell or redistribute the font files themselves, original or modified, alone or in an asset pack. No public repos with the font files in them (a built game or site is fine).
