Stained-glass blackletter Frankenfont thing. :D
UC cloned to LC to make this easier to use...
This is a clone of Chimera SpineAn experimental logotype and another attempt to create a distinctive design in 2x2. Some words look better than others... it's best for 1-2 word phrases rather than body text.
"B", "P", and "R" are compromise designs... no satisfactory way exists to create their curves while maintaining the optimal line width, so their counters were filled a bit to give them the same sense of solidity as the other letters.

A "denghon" is a giant, many-limbed, extradimensional creature found throughout my games, especially ESOS.
Made by request: An experimental logotype design meant to be high-impact and high-energy, such as befits a speed metal band's album cover.
It contains my own inspirations as well as those of the band, who sketched a few prototypes.
This is clearly unfinished not only in terms of glyphs but also kerning. I was only requested to make the glyphs "AEIMNPRV" and the rest can be considered as doodles... at least, for now. It seems that there's a trend wherein people who make requests of me just want one-off designs like this as opposed to refined and finished ones. But, I'll continue this one on my own if inspiration strikes.
I'm having agrate time here! I can hardly cage my excitement.
This effect font can achieve many looks - riveted plating, segmented displays, spectrograms, grills, cages, formations of vehicles seen from high altitude, jails, and more!

A segmented display inspired by Lorica Segmentata.
I didn't make this to convey the idea of "Space Romans", but I can see how it might be used in such a context. For that I'm envisioning something like a flip-dot display which uses these metal plates. Perhaps in the future I'll get an Arduino and some servos, then set about trying to build such a display...
This font originally started out as a pixelated design, but changed considerably over its development. The bold strokes combined with the jagged edges and pointed serifs are almost reminiscent of something you'd see on a hard rock album cover.
This font was created around the theme of unstable. It was developed from shapes and structures of scaffolding. I began looking at how each part of scaffolding is pivotal in creating a solid structure and if a part was to be removed it would become unstable and collapse. Each letter form is molded from different parts of a scaffolding frame, such as c-clips etc. The outcome was very engineered/mechanical and is probably best used as a display font for businesses.
This one has been cooking for a while, it's one of my oldest designs, based on an old Deftones logo. I have finally managed to update it and found a proper way to work with the diagonals. Basic latin support and a few alternate letters.
**UPDATE 2024:
I have just released a commercial improved version of this font so reach out to escaphandro.net for downloads.
