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 hi ! very cool, it's actually a good addition to "Lord of the Test" game/mod in #Minetest
I used a size of 18 when on a full HD screen but the pixelated effect remains somehow (at 12 it's too small, 24 too big for my taste )
(I had to change the minetest.conf file, don't know how in a mod, but 'it works'(tm) ;p )
probably pixtura12 can be of use in #godotengine projects too
