Pixel font in Malayalam

This project was done as part of my academic curriculum in IDC, IIT Bombay. As lockdowns begain, our internships were converted into small self-initiated projects. After gathering a bunch of potential type design ideas, I eventually settled upon Arcade game fonts.

The topic of pixel typefaces from arcade games really intruiged me. Inspired from whatever images I could get from the book 'Arcade Game Typography' by Toshi Omagari, I wanted to see how a Malayalam version might look like. Furthermore, I wanted to see how low of a resolution can Malayalam letters acheive.
