A font recreated from photographs of classic Commodore 64 keycaps
This GitHub project by Levente Szabadkai reconstructs the lettering on classic Commodore 64 keycaps from photographs, producing a font with cleaned-up shapes and consistent proportions. It includes uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, arrows, the pound sign, selected accented letters, function-key labels f1–f12, and all 63 PETSCII graphic front legends. Available as TTF, OTF, and webfont, with editable outlines and a specimen. Lowercase input displays as uppercase, recreating printed key legends rather than the screen bitmap font.

The old versions of VIC-20 used a font called Microgramma.

This saddens me, frankly.

If creatively expanded to more characters, this would make a pretty nice coding font.

Oh gosh, this is really rather nice.
