Fonts

Wooden and lead letters in a type case

Fonts shape the character of your game more than you might think.

  • Sources: Google Fonts offers many fonts under the SIL Open Font License, which you may also use in commercial games. Still, check the licence of every font.
  • Readability before style: a very readable font for dialogs, titles may be playful.
  • Check special characters. Many decorative fonts lack characters like é, ä, ñ or ß. If you want to translate your game, you need the characters of the other languages too.
  • Bitmap fonts fit pixel art. Visionaire can use both TrueType fonts and bitmap fonts.

Rule to remember
Two fonts in the game at most. Check special characters and licence before you commit.

Your task
Write the sentence "Café, naïve façade, Größe" in your dialog font. If a character is missing, look for another font.
