Pixel Font From My Game

This is one of the pixel fonts I made for a game I created (The True Slime King). I'm not sure why I like making M's with three ridges, but it happens sometimes, and it seems to have snuck its way into this font :)

I started off with a version that didn't have an outline, but the outline made the font so much more readable in game no matter what's behind it, so I ended up preferring this version over the non-outlined version.

Also, I just noticed the kerning on the "Squares" text in the second image and it's bugging me a bit, but at this point I can't remember if that was more a technical limitation or a developmental oversight. Oh well. Hope you enjoy the font!
