Author's note

TLOZ Phantom Hourglass, credited to David Fens, is a free pixel font with the lean, irregular drawing of a compact handheld adventure-game interface. Its letters shift between broad open forms and narrow upright strokes, with clipped corners, exaggerated gaps, and an uneven cadence that keeps the design lively rather than rigid and gives rounded sections a curious boxy tension.

Its retro game character points directly toward fantasy entertainment. It is especially convincing for adventure-game menus, fan-event posters, themed merchandise, and playful product packaging, where the lettering can turn a name into an interface-like mark that echoes maps, quests, and puzzle icons.
