I made this font because serif uppercase letters look like pillars from ancient temple ruins. I don't know what the wings on the M and T are for. Maybe they're temples for Hermes (or maybe Icarus). Now for the period I wanted to make a big head lying on the ground, but I can't think of the name and I really want a picture reference. Can anyone tell me what that 'big head on the ground' is called? I think I've seen it in Disney's Hercules.

Ha! Looks pretty cool.

Love it! Maybe each punctuation can be a statue or something. An obelisk for the vertical line, and a leaning obelisk for the two solidi (plural for solidus, I think), and stuff like that. I encourage you to completely fill the ASCII characters with Greek ruins. (Gosh, that last sentence sounded weird.)

Great idea Xenophilius (do I sense a slightly greek origin of your name? ;P). I'll get to work on it now!

I don't know where the origin is, I got it from Harry Potter.
