C64 Keyboard is a font that reconstructs the printed lettering on classic Commodore 64 keycaps from photographs of a Central European machine. It includes uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, arrows, £, π, selected accented letters, function-key labels, and all 63 PETSCII graphic front legends; lowercase input displays as uppercase because the font represents keycap legends rather than the Commodore 64 screen font. The PETSCII symbols are reconstructed outlines with key identities and assignments based on the Ultimate Commodore 64 Reference, while frame thickness, curves, and print proportions are inferred from the photographs rather than traced exactly. The project provides TTF and OTF desktop fonts, a webfont, editable outlines, build scripts, documentation, and a browser-based specimen and type tester. Its repository contributions, including the font files, outlines, scripts, preview, mappings, and documentation, are dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0; the reference photographs and rights in historical keycap designs or trademarks are not included or granted.
