I call this Gothic Uncial because, well... Back when I originally designed this, I sought out to make a Latin script bitmap font that resembled the Gothic alphabet in general feel. I ended up not following all the glyph forms, and started to inject my own sense of style. Then, for lowercase and remaining uppercase, I used uncial script, which itself evolved from a rounder handwritten form of Greek, Latin and Gothic scripts. I also sought out a semi-broken appearance, where some lines to not necessarily meet and touch each other. And here you have it - something that started as a Gothic-inspired typeface and turned into largely my own creation.
BACKGROUND: I used to have a much more active hobby of designing bitmap fonts. Little (usually 8x8px monospace) fonts designed for use in older 8-bit and sometimes 16-bit video games. It was kinda fun to hack ROMs to change the text fonts. Later, when Final Fantasy VI font became readily editable in 11px high proportional typeface, I started designing proportional fonts too. Nearly all my designs are revised in subtle ways over the years.
