# The Niji Fontface

A custom pixel bitmap font family for embedded systems, low-level rendering, and retro-style UIs.

</div>

---

## Overview

**Niji** is a hand-crafted extensible 8×16 bitmap font family. It is distributed as C headers or TTF files, making it easy to drop into any embedded or low-level graphics project with zero external dependencies.

## Font Format

Each font is stored as a static C array of `unsigned char`:

```c
static const unsigned char font[][16] = { ... };
```

- Each entry represents one ASCII character (starting at ASCII 0x20 / space).
- Each character is **8 pixels wide** and **16 pixels tall** (1 byte per row, 16 rows).
- Bits are ordered **MSB → LSB** (left to right).

### Accessing a character

```c
#include "niji-pixel-regular-16.h"

// Draw character 'A' (ASCII 65 → index 65 - 32 = 33)
char c = 'A';
const unsigned char *glyph = font[c - 32];

for (int row = 0; row < 16; row++) {
    for (int col = 0; col < 8; col++) {
        int pixel = (glyph[row] >> (7 - col)) & 1;
        draw_pixel(x + col, y + row, pixel ? FG_COLOR : BG_COLOR);
    }
}
```

---

## Usage

1. Copy the desired `.h` file into your project.
2. Include it in your source file.
3. Use the array to render glyphs with your own pixel drawing routine.

No build system, no linking, no runtime allocation — just a header.

---

## Character Set

Covers the **printable ASCII** range: `0x20` (space) through `0x7E` (~), totalling **95 glyphs**.
