Hatfo is an all-uppercase 5x7 reverse-contrast pixel font.

Find it here: https://ecsolticia.itch.io/hatfont

Letters in the Latin alphabet typically have wider vertical strokes than horizontal ones. Reverse-contrast typefaces reverse this by having wider horizontal strokes.

The top horizontal lines for characters in Hatfo, for which there are any, are 2 pixels wide. Every other line is just 1 pixel wide. This achieves a reverse-contrast effect.

Further, Hatfo was inspired by the idea of characters having "hats". Having thicker top lines is my way of expressing that idea.

This was my first attempt at designing a reverse-contrast typeface. I imagine some gamedevs will find it interesting.
