About this asset
Sugar Cube is a small, friendly 8x8 pixel font for retro games: menus, dialogue, HUDs, inventories and tiny labels. Every letter was drawn by hand, pixel by pixel.
Ready to use in Unity:
- TextMesh Pro font asset with all 187 characters baked into a static atlas with point filtering. Assign it to any TextMesh Pro text and it is sharp right away.
- Pixel-perfect at Font Size 8, 16, 24, 32 and every other multiple of 8. At size 8, one font pixel is exactly one screen pixel.
- Demo scene with the full character set, every size from 8 to 48 px and a dialogue box.
- The .ttf is also set up for legacy UI Text.
Languages: English, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Bulgarian.
The glyphs are white in the atlas, so you can color the text freely with Vertex Color or rich text tags.
From the publisher's Asset Store listing.
