GBS Sans (a GB Studio 4.x typeface)

GB Sans is a variable width, semi condensed, sans serif type family for use with GB Studio 3 & 4 available (currently) in –

• Regular
• Italic
• Small caps
• Mini (new!)

I'll say it's in beta as I'll continue to work on and improve the letter forms (as I use and look at them more in GB Studio projects in different combinations) and will likely expand the typeface to include other variants.

I've also included a quick export to True Type for Regular and Italics, so it can be used in desktop apps. This is super rough, but helpful if you need to mock something up, use in a Aseprite/PS for example.

Open to all suggestions for improvements, just let me know.

Background
I wanted a variable width (not wide monospaced) typeface that could mix italics inline with regular for my current GB Studio project Fall from Space and because I like doing that. GB Studio v3 and upwards opens up so many more options for type. Hopefully it's of use to other people and their projects as well.


Instructions for use
Add the files in 'GB Studio Fonts' into the fonts folder, within the assets folder in your game. To switch between fonts, use the command '!f' in your dialogue boxes.

For the Desktop True Type fonts, install and use these as you would normally with Windows/MacOS.

Usage
You're welcome to use in your projects and I'd love to see what people use it for. I'd appreciate a credit if you do use it.
