This font was made to resemble the Mara glyphs seen in the queue of Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye at Disneyland, CA.
It looks like a different language, but each glyph very loosely resembles a letter in the Roman alphabet, allowing the text in the queue to be "translated."
Cryptographic Font utilizing a proprietary binary matrix algorithm designed by Joshua Michael Conci © 2017
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.
While recreating/revising one of my very first fontstructions – April 2008’s Asgard (second to last one) – I realized it was going to take something more drastic still than switching to 2x2 filter settings to realize my dream of a harmonized U&lc set.
The original’s lowercase had several compelling and unique features (at the time), the uppercase worked well enough in all caps display settings...but they very rarely sat comfortably together. The answer couldn’t have been more simple: since the caps (which surprisingly came first...or does this just reveal my noobishness at the time?) are rather narrow, the lowercase itself needed to follow a more logically elongated model.
Here the flexibility of 2x2 filters kicks into high gear as the original design’s lc is tweaked by half a brick extra height to bring about a more righteously rockin’ family.
(Asgard 1.x plateaued at 829 characters, so – as always – more to come...)
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
