I have made a font with International Maritime Signal Flags before, but this time they are coloured correctly (in grey scale). White is blank ( ), yellow is little dots (::), red is 33% diagonals (\\), blue is 50% diagonals (//), black is filled. Lower case letters are the patterns with no colouring, for those who want to colour in the fields themselves.
I have now added numbers. The regular numerals (0-9) are the square NATO flags, and the subscript numerals (₀₋₉) are the templates of the NATO number flags. The roman numerals (I-X, X representing 0) are the longer ICS flags, and the lower case roman numerals (i-x) are the uncoloured ICS flags.
On top of that there are four substitute flags, which can be found in the superscript numbers (¹⁻⁴) and the fifth fractions (⅕-⅘).
Letter | Picture | Artist |
A | Mona Lisa | Leonardo Da Vinci |
B | Whistler's Mother | James McNeill Whistler |
C | Starry Night | Vincent Van Gogh |
D | Sunflowers | Vincent Van Gogh |
E | Campbell's Soup Cans (only part is shown) | Andy Warhol |
F | The Scream | Edvard Munch |
G | American Gothic | Grant Wood |
H | The Persistence of Memory, a.k.a. Melting Clocks | Salvador Dali |
I was playing with tiles and designed this font as units to create visual texture. Hiding letters in them came to me by accident when I did an overlay instead of a straight copy-paste. The letters are pleasently difficult to see - but for tiling interesting units in large sizes this font should be suitable.
Learning from the excellent work of Frodo7, I mix in this font (with all my respect to the image of Che) his head shape and Planet of the Apes' face. This font is a supplement for "zelfvolution eYe/FS", and the order in which the drawing is displayed is: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO PQRST UVWXY Z1234. Hope you like it.
