He just called a meeting (even though he's part of the lava, I honestly don't know how he became a separate part at this point), and is now going to overflow your fantasy console's memory.

Enhanced PICO-8 Puny Font

by Czarlo

[Click to Play]

The original PICO-8 puny font was just the uppercase letters, except slightly smaller, which does not follow the the "theme" of current fonts today, like sans serif. So I decided to "enhance" it by making the puny letters simular to sans serif or other fonts.

Also, credit to Astorek86 for the #FONT_SNIPPET with original font cart.
