Yes, and no. The font is a well known one called Avant Garde. Back in 2009 I searched for a version of it that was most like the font painted in the Today series. I think I found it on an old Corel Xara font CD. I converted that to a subset because I only needed certain characters. This year, for Playdate, I converted my old font to bitmap. So, it’s complicated :)
undestood! for now i’m just sticking to the fonts in the sdk resources but it would be nice to have more options. i’ll have to learn about converting arbitrary fonts to work nicely in the playdate :)

I just uploaded a new version that respects the system setting for 12/24 hour time display. Cheers!
