Pixel art letters and numbers

Using these pixel art letters

Every character is shown at its native size in Basic 5×7, Serif 7×9 and Tiny 3×5. Open the alphabet in the pixel art editor to recolour it, add an outline or export a PNG at 1×, 8× or 16× scale.

All three fonts were drawn in-house for CraftPatterns, so you can use the letters freely in your own pixel art.

Tips before you start

The Basic 5×7 font is a classic size for pixel lettering: big enough to read, small enough for game sprites, badges and avatars. Export at 8× or 16× scale for crisp edges when you share it; scaling a 1× file up later in other software can blur it.

Add a one-pixel dark outline around light letters on busy backgrounds — draw it in the editor with the pencil, or use the text tool’s single border. Keep the background transparent if you plan to place the letters over other art.

Working in another craft? The same alphabet is charted for cross stitch, fuse beads, alpha bracelets, C2C crochet, knitting charts, diamond painting, needlepoint, latch hook, brick mosaic, peyote & brick stitch and pony beads.
