# bd-font: A ZX-Spectrum inspired 8x8px font

This is a simple 8x8 font inspired by 8-bit computers, and implements the full
0-127 ASCII character range as well as the extended symbols in the ['437'
character set][437-char].

The font is available as a 128x128 bmp image (`bd-font-8x8_128x128.bmp`), where
the characters are in 8x8 tiles, with 16 columns and 16 rows. Additionally, the
[chr][chr] file `bd-font-8x8.chr` is available for loading each character as
bitmaps (8 bytes per character). The font can also be embedded in C by copying
or including the contents of the `bd-font-8x8.c` file directly to your project.

This font is totally free for any kind of usage and dual license under UNLICENSE
and MIT, see the `LICENSE.md` for details. Attribution is nice but not
necessary, but if you use this font in your projects [I would love to
know!][contact]
