Player 9 is a decorative pixel typeface.
Pixel fonts are incredibly fun to make, because it's such a rigid restriction to design on a coarse grid, and you can draw a (boring) alphabet quite quickly.
This design takes fantasy/fairytale/Art Nouveau lettering styles, with their swashy curves and unbalanced proportions, and puts them onto a blocky pixel grid. Every pixel counts, and there's no room for error.
