We are currently working on a new game and right now I'm looking into fonts for use in the game.
What I can say is that we're aiming for a 32-bit era look and feel for the game.
I've worked a bit in photoshop, testing different things and I've finally found the perfect font. Problem is, I cannot find where it comes from and thus, I cannot confirm whether we are allowed to use it or not. Thus, I am afraid we'll have to use something else.

The font I got attached to was the Sega Saturn font:


Does anyone know of a font with a similar feel? Which is free to use? I'm looking for a modern, rounded sans-serif.

Possibly this? (note: multiple fonts here)

Don't use this font for business. And don't carry out secondary distribution.

People certainly ignored the latter part...

Just to clarify, are you looking for a pixel font? Or exactly that/something similar to that- all rounded and whatnot?

Something that looks like that and can be used in Unity 5.

There is a website call www.dafont.com. Very useful for font searching, you can check it out!

It's from this site, and it states that "commercial use is prohibited".

Does anyone know of a font with a similar feel?

Two fonts that are somewhat similar are "Central Bold" ( $10 ) and "Como ExtraBold" ( $25 ).

First post explicitly states looking for a free font.

At this point I guess it may be easier to learn how to use a font editor and make a custom font. Easier said than done for something with this many curves, though.
