Author's note

Xentype is an ornate, medieval-style serif pixel font recreation of the Blackletter category, based on the larger original main dialog font appearing in the game Knights of Xentar, known as Dragon Knight III in Japan, which was developed by ELF Corporation and released by Megatech Software for PC DOS in 1995 and even earlier for the NEC PC-8801 and various other systems in 1991.

The character set of this font was greatly expanded with countless additional special characters, diacritic variants, unique glyphs and the like, each one of them designed to match the spirit and style of the original font design.

To recreate the original in-game appearance of this font with programs like Photoshop and the like I recommend using the OpenType font file included in the download package in combination with font sizes that are multiples of 32pt while avoiding anti-aliasing or other font smoothing methods.

Features:

594 characters total
Proportional blackletter serif typeface
Countless additional special characters, diacritic variants, etc.
