Free font giveaway: Daxion

Some time ago, I needed a pixel font for a job but when I looked for one, I found that many didn’t had enough characters, and those who did, weren’t too attractive. I didn’t like them to be all squared (yes, I know they are built with squares). At that moment, FontStruct came out and I thought it would be nice to have a pixel font tailored to my capricious needs. I started to built them and I kept adding glyphs until I got 181 glyphs that were suitable for a variety of works. I’ve built Daxion with circles instead of squares, although at the smallest size, 8px without antialias, Daxion will render a square, you know, a pixel You can use Daxion at either a size (larger or equal than) of 24px or 8px only without antialias.

   Hey, I was just surfing around and found your site. I think it’s well funky and after looking at about 200 sites this morning I can say this is my favourite out of all of them. Thanks for the font too, can’t wait to use it.
