A minimalist pixelated font made on Fontstruct. Due to Fontstruct's limitations, the sitelen pona glyphs take on space in the Latin Unicode blocks, sharing codepoints with {{tp|sitelen pona kiwen}}, {{tp|sitelen pona kiwen nanpa tu}}, {{tp|sitelen pona pi palisa mute}} and {{tp|sitelen pona 7x7}}.

Nishiki Teki (pronounced [nʲi̞ɕi̥kʲi̥te̞kʲi̥]) is a massive Unicode-compliant font with additional glyphs for a very wide range of purposes. It was inspired by the {{w|Ukaga}} shell "Nishiki", with the shell appearing many times as glyphs in the font.
 
On 2022-11-01, jan Umi added sitelen pona according to UCSUR, allowing for over 31 000 possible character combinations. <ref>[https://twitter.com/Umihotarus/status/1587416513304485888 Twitter]</ref>

On 2022-11-01 jan Ke Tami made a derivation of the font to reduce the file size, concentrating only on the sitelen pona characters. On 2023-04-07, ligatures got added.

{{font|toki pona OTF|license=All rights reserved|author=jan Wesi|ligatures=yes|first=2014-07-20|style=uniform line weight|system={{tp|sitelen pona}}}}
Only 2 months after publication of {{lipu pu|en}} and therefore {{tp|sitelen pona}} in its first completed form, this font is the first of all {{tp|sitelen pona}} fonts. Its ASCII transcription has some oddities that users might want to be aware of:
*{{tp|ken}} and {{tp|kepeken}} only exist as codepoints and are not accessible by typing them out in the Latin alphabet
*{{tp|a}}, {{tp|e}} and {{tp|o}} only get converted into {{tp|sitelen pona}} if an <code>x</code> is added after, to distinguish them from their Latin counterparts
*Any word also gets converted into {{tp|sitelen pona}} if the first letter is capitalized
*<code>zz</code> serves as a separator between glyphs - but unlike modern fonts, it is only a zero width space instead of a space that is as wide as a character
*<code>tokipona</code> gets converted into the Toki Pona symbol

In the 17 April 2022 release (Unifont 14.0.03), Paul Hardy added {{tp|sitelen pona}}, along side some other UCSUR scripts (Xaîni, Ophidian, Niji, Shidinn). As of 2023-11-04, all UCSUR characters have been encoded, but the format codepoints exist as solid characters instead of serving their formatting functions, leading character combinations, character extensions and cartouches to be broken. This kind of limitation is generally the case wth GNU Unifont and companion fonts,<ref>[https://unifoundry.com/unifont/index.html GNU Unifont Glyphs], see "Unifont Limitations"</ref> and it is meant as a font of "last resort".

{{Hatnote|Main article: [[sitelen pona pona]]}}
While this font uses [[UCSUR]] codepoints, the ones it uses are not compatible with the assigned range for {{tp|sitelen pona}} in UCSUR because it was made far before {{tp|sitelen pona}} got added there.
