Puzzlebyrinth Match

Design

A tic-tac-toe dot font whose highlight is an OpenType ligature trick: type 'XXX' or 'OOO' and it forms a ligature with a winning strike line through the three marks (fired by default in supporting browsers).

The base glyphs use the same 5x7 dot matrix as Marubatsu. It suits playful headings, scores, and mini-game results. Type 'XXX' in the tester to see the gimmick live.

• Regular: 5x7 dots + winning-line ligatures (XXX/OOO), for headings and scores.

Conditions (required)

• When redistributing the font files, include the license text (LICENSE.txt) unchanged.
• Modified versions may not use the original font name — pick a different name and keep this license.

You cannot

• Sell the font files by themselves (bundling with software or games is fine).

The font is provided as-is, without warranty. It does not cover Japanese (kana/kanji), so specify a fallback font when using it on the web.
