The base font from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game Beyond Oasis (AKA The Story of Thor). It's another straight glyph dump with my usual additions of smart quotes and inverted ? and ! symbols; an @ sign (not found in the actual game) has also been added based on the game's copyright symbol.

Enjoy!

This is the writing of the maþla (mathla) language I created. It is spoken by gods and contains magic.

The phonetics and lexems are based on a mixture of Proto-Germanic, Old Norse and my fantasy. It has 26 vowels and doesn't have any b, d or g sounds.

A 5x5 font which has vertical bilateral symmetry, as if a mirror were covering half of it. Surprisingly readable!

This font and the symbols therein are direct results of the binary code for the letters, numbers, and special characters acting as seeds for a matrix code.

Every character is unique even if they "appear" similar. The top and bottom horizontal lines indicate the binary code for the associated letter. Black squares are 1 and spaces are 0.

It is meant to look alien... Or maybe ancient? I don't know. What I do is that it is the product of a few hours of boredom. Enjoy and keep the boredom at bay.

After choosing the theme asymmetric my thoughts went straight to the face of odin,because of the eyepatch, and since odin was the one that gave the germanic tribes their characters (according to the mythology) the idea of basing this font on ancient norse runes was born. I really wanted that feel of rough, stone carved feel, straight lines were a priority, plus I really wanted to give it the sensation of eroded and old. The name futhark comes from the first six letter of the runic alphabet.

Dating all the way back to ancient Sumer, cuneiform was among the first methods of writing. It was etched in clay tablets with a reed pen. This is an Anglicized version of cuneiform, and is not historically accurate. It's just kind of fun to make, so I made it.

Rebuilt from the ground up, this version of my D'ni numeral font features better bowing on the 2's, 10's, etc. and uniform line thickness. Additionally, the characters now connect as they are meant to AND it's public domain! :D Have fun, fellow adventurers! The D'ni language and numerical system belong to Cyan as a part of the Myst series.

Classic typeface for minds finding its way to retrospect-ing antiquity. This font is underconstruction.

This font makes use of the most ancient forms of each of our capital English letters. Glyphs that would have been repeated because of shared origins have been given alternate forms of the original glyph to enable differentiation. The question and exclamation mark originate with Latin, written with two letters vertically, and in this version are written the same way but with the original forms of the letters. The rest of the punctuation comes from Greek origins or is made to look similar. The following website can act as a key for the meaning of each letter: http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/3_al.html
