thanks for the recommendation – I already got passage!
the size is a hard constraint for pico-8 fonts :) I am used to cheating with descenders (like moving the character 1px up and deleting 1px from the descender), and for accents there’s a trick too (use a control code to overlay a separate ^/etc character on top)
We've been using Compass as the primary in-game font for our game Mushroom Musume, so seeing an updated version release was exciting! Thank you for your continued font-work~

hello! do you have a font with a similar vibe but 8x8 max?
You could try Passage: it has a cap height of 7px! But mind: if you need to support non-English characters, 8x8 won't be enough.
EDIT: considering descenders, Passage won't fit an 8x8 grid without a few tweaks.

Eheh, I figured it would be for a Pico-8 project. I did a few free versions of my designs for it.
You could try adapting Yolk too, it's free (and even tinier than Passage!):

Thanks!! I'm currently updating and polishing all my older font designs, I'm glad you're using Compass ☺️
