A downloadable font

This is a 4x12 pixel font, primarily aimed at computers with non-square (double-width) pixels. 

Dragon 32/64 has a glorious 128x192 two bits per pixel (almost greyscale) mode. Images look really great in 128x192, but text doesn't. This font accepts the  limitation of the narrow horizontal resolution (each letter is, at most, 3 pixels wide), but uses extended vertical resolution to compensate for the lack of details in each letter.  This font can be especially useful for adventure games and RPGs that want to use non-monochrome modes yet have clearly readable font.  

The font looks somewhat okay in 1:1 pixel mode, but it really shines on CRTs when stretched to the correct (2:1) proportions.  The mock screenshots are here for the illustrative purposes.

Please do attribute the creator (Roseum Team) if you use the font in your commercial products.
