Decided late last night I should make a pixel font that resembles Latin Textura manuscripts, scribal abbreviations and all.
Coming up with rules in the font to automatically use the abbreviations was pretty fun. Making vector versions of all the letters was not.
I finished the font! You can download it on OpenGameArt for use in your own projects:

In addition to just looking cool (because Textura is always cool), it can optionally (and if your art program supports it) automatically apply a bunch of abbreviations and variants to make Latin text look more authentic.
@eishiya This is awesome ! I practice calligraphy and I like pixel art and the idea of mixing both of them is still somewhere in my head. Thank you for making this idea concrete. It is very beautiful !
