{{needs work|VERY preliminary, and so many fonts need to get their information filled out and get at least a little description, if possible check what history there is to the font etc.}}
Many '''{{w|Computer font|fonts}}''' have been created for [[Toki Pona]] and its original [[writing system]]s, with varying feature sets. For the purpose of this article, only {{w|SFNT}} fonts are considered (fonts that have a file that is installable on modern computers - like TTF, OTF - or a file that can be embedded on a website - including WOFF, WOFF2).

Line 30:
5x5 {{tp|sitelen pona}} is a minimalist pixelated font. Due to the limitations of the font-making program {{w|Fontstruct}}, the {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyphs take on space in the Unicode blocks designated Latin characters, sharing codepoints with {{tp|sitelen pona kiwen}}, {{tp|sitelen pona kiwen nanpa tu}}, {{tp|sitelen pona pi palisa mute}}, and {{tp|sitelen pona}} 7x7.
As the name suggests, any sitelen pona character is made out of blocks that fit into a box of 5 times 5 blocks. To do so, it sometimes relies on alternate versions of the glyphs. Of all computer-installable pixel fonts, it achieves the lowest amount of blocks

Toki Pona Bubble exists as two fonts: One has each character outlined with patterns inside as a lineart version and the other has all the characters colored in yellow, red, blue or green, with the outline and the pattern in a darker shade.

This font is an adaptation of the {{w|Tengwar}} alphabet known from {{w|J.R.R. Tolkien}}'s {{w|The Lord of the Rings}} universe, to allow typing toki pona words. Below are some useful tips for typing:
* <code>A</code> puts the vowel marker "a" further to the left, which is useful to put it over consonant glyphs
* <code>q</code> serves as a stem for vowels without a preceding consonant
* syllable-final "-n" can be typed with either <code>N</code> or <code>M</code>
* <code>`</code> adds a paragraph marker
* <code>,</code> adds an interpunct

To make this font, jan Ke Tami vectorized ka Tumu's glyph drawings (hence the name "likeness of ka Tumu"). When it was made, the word {{tp|liti}} had been made, which was later replaced by {{tp|lapi}} - this replacement is yet to be reflected in the font.
