Fonts

Over the years I’ve made a number of fonts, some for real-life needs, some for imaginary alphabets and worlds. This page provides a selection of them.

Unicode fonts for real-world scripts

Floodtide Script

A vector font based on an idealized version of my handwriting from 2014. Small x-height, angled text, long swashes.

Garamond Extended

A Garamond font with support for extended Latin, the International Phonetic Alphabet, Old Cyrillic, Hebrew, polytonic Greek, countless symbols, Glagolitic, old style numerals, Ancient Egyptian transliteration, Phoenician, and many more. I claim no credit for the original Garamond characters in this font; for the most part, I only added further new characters based on the original letters. Most of the added characters are not yet hinted, so they may look poor in some programs. A bold and italic version are also available, but incomplete.

PixelFraktur

A bitmap Fraktur font, made in Bitfontmaker2.

HabsburgChancery

A palaeographic bitmap font of 17th-century Habsburg chancery hand, made in Bitfontmaker2. Has wide Latin character support.

SecretaryHand

A palaeographic bitmap font of 16th-century English secretary hand, likewise made in Bitfontmaker2. Has wide Latin character support.

PixelMordred

A bitmap version of the Mordred font designed by Paul Reid, made in Bitfontmaker2. Has wide Latin character support.

OrdinaryBasis

A simple bitmap font with geometric letterforms, made in Bitfontmaker2. I use it as a starting point when working on other bitmap fonts. Probably not useful to the wider world, but it does have fairly wide Latin character support.

Non-Unicode fonts for real-world scripts

Vithkuqi

A bitmap font of the old Albanian Vithkuqi alphabet. Does not follow Unicode, since Unicode has not yet encoded the Vithkuqi script. Update: As of 2021, the Vithkuqi script is finally encoded in Unicode! These fonts are due for an update.

Vithkuqi Thin

Same as above, but with fixed-width strokes and a lighter weight.

Vithkuqi Alternate

Same as VithkuqiThin, but with slightly different letterforms.

Vithkuqi Cursive

A cursive version of the Vithkuqi alphabet.

Fonts for invented scripts

Mîrkšam

A vector font for the constructed language Mîrkšam, now Šamhešmi. Šamhešmi also has a new writing system that has not yet been converted into font form.

Zahudnaru

A vector font for the constructed language Zahudnaru. Capital letters are in their inscriptional form, with serifs; small letters are monospaced and sans-serif.

Zahudnaru Script

The handwritten version of Zahudnaru. If installed alongside the regular Zahudnaru font, it will be assigned as the italic of that font.

Sazhir

A vector font for my oldest constructed language Sazhir, using its inscriptional (or monumental) letterforms.

Sazhir Script

The handwritten version of the Sazhir script.

Sazhir Cursive

The cursive version of the Sazhir script, with connected-up letterforms.

SazhereOld1

A bitmap font of the Sazhir script (then called “Sazhere”) as it was when it was first created in 2006.

Vithkuqi Divergent

A bitmap font of a formal script I developed based on the Vithkuqi alphabet. Capital letters are the new formal script; small letters are standard Vithkuqi.

Phonetic hand English

A phonetic flowing cursive script invented for English. Bitmap font.

Phonetic hand Mîrkšam

A version of the same phonetic script adapted for Mîrkšam. Bitmap font.
