A font which looks like a board game. It has no relation to Conway's Game of Life, although that may change. :D

Experimental 24-segment display or massive monochrome Mondrian matrix. Pixel compatible!

The thinking behind this one was that with incongruously sized segments arranged in the proper way, I would create a design which was effectively 5x5, but which accomodated more glyphs than 5x5 usually does. Negative space is incorporated into the structure of many glyphs, though not enough to classify this as an IVO design.

"Qualtron" is the name of an imaginary entity that a friend believed in - a being meant to represent the result of "a mathematical equation that can rule the universe". I didn't inquire further about it... :D

*

Design Rules:

1. Segments can have interior length/width of 2 or 5.

2. The central 2x2 square must always remain open.

3. Square bricks and 90-degree angles only.

Original size: 20.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A 117-segment display made to have a more "mosaic" look. Try using this one at odd sizes, especially with antialiasing off! The resulting distortions occur in a consistent way which leads to many new uses for the font.

Original size: 38pt

Self-symmetrical pixel fractal font. (x=3*Spx,y=25)

- ITERATIONS -

x=1 - ESOS Lite Terminal

x=2 - Amalgarmada

x=3 - Amalgarmada 2 & Fractal 2 by jonrgrover

Original size: 131pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Based on ideas by zephram and Se7enty-Se7en, taking it one level deeper.

Self-symmetrical/fractal pixel font. (x=2*Spx,y=5)

This is designed on 7x7 black boxes which act as superpixels. This ensures that inline and outline components are congruent.

Original size: 26pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A written court language used by Ashrians on Bysonce Island, Planet Ashr in my video game Endless Sea of Stars. This one is used for public court documents, and its brother language Calystiphos Hand is used for private documents and old government records.

These glyphs could be considered a form of shorthand unto themselves, since each court stenographer has its own way of writing these down and its own way of abbreviating or embellishing them. Through knowledge of these glyphs and their accompanying interpretation, one can surmise all of the important proceedings and notes.

*

Common methods for stenographers to alter these glyphs involve:

- Adding/removing quadrants

- Crossing out one or more elements in colored ink

- Drawing connecting lines between points within one or more quadrants

- Inscribing shorthand or marginalia within negative spaces

- Marking or coloring within the central circle

- Shading via different means (scribbling, crosshatching, or with colors)

- Rotating a quadrant upon its own axis

It's important to note that stenographers also often write (either in Royal Bysoncian, Sea Bysoncian or Voktlandish) in accompaniment with these symbols. The idea is for each stenographer to come up with a system of encoding that works for it. Eudastiphos Hand could thus be considered an amalgamate, interlingual cipher built from other Ashrian languages.

*

In terms of communication systems which exist on Earth, this is most readily compared to Nsibidi.

Eudastiphos is the Ashrian god of mistrals. The simplest way to put it is to say that he represents the "yang" of the pantheon.
