Show HN: 1-Bit Pixel Art Font Editor (moonbench.xyz)

I like making small fonts for Arduino and ESP32 projects with those little SSD1306 OLED screens. So I made this browser-based tool to help design pixel art fonts for use in those embedded projects.

It has a preview area that updates when you save your character. It can support fixed-width and variable-width fonts. And when you're done you can export the font in a few different formats.

It comes with a bunch of example fonts built-in. Also it's fully client-side code so you can save the webpage to use it offline.

If you want some inspiration for fonts, I made a bunch of really small fonts a few years ago: https://www.moonbench.xyz/projects/tiny-pixel-art-fonts/





I have collected a number of useful tools today. This one gets top marks.
