==Font==
The UI font, as well as the "tileless" graphics display option use Source Code Pro. For a more detail about tileless graphics, see [[Modding:Code page 437]].
The font of the title is TC Serif Gothic LT Heavy.

Game mods are allowed to specify that their tiles are of sizes other than 16 by 24, however the base game itself doesn't use this function. (See [[Modding:Tiles#Tile_Size]] for details.)

Achievements and some modern ui main menu elements can have arbitary sizes and amounts of colors. (See the [[#Achievements|Achievements]] section for more information of achievements)

==Achievements==
{{Gamename}}'s Achievement icons use low resolution images with somewhat small color pallets. With their resolution being 64 pixels tall by 64 pixels wide, which is larger than in-game tiles.
As previously mentioned their colors can be theoretically arbitrary. However there is a trend of using small groupings of colors separated by background colors, or dithered gradients of a handful of colors. With most icons using 2 -12 colors including the background.
===Achievement Palette===
{{spoiler | hidden achievements and progression through the main storyline }}
Here are all of the unique colors used in the game's achievement icons, as well as what achievements most colors are used in.
Some colors are are only used in one icon or are very slight variations of each other.
