This font is a facsimile of a substitution cipher from The Shadow #10, "Chain of Death." Letters are replaced by blocky symbols, which consist of pairs of rectangular shapes separated by a space. To encrypt a message, the symbols are connected together by their outer right and left edges. This gives the appearance of a much greater set of symbols than there actually are, and the spaces will confuse potential codebreakers. There are no numerals or punctuation. I included square brackets ("[" and "]") for two special symbols that are frequently used to begin and end sencryptions (you can type messages [like this]).
What a horrible night to have a font!
This font adds upon the font "Castlevania 2" by Patrick Lauke. I am a coder, and simply can't use fonts without their having all the necessary symbols. I did this very quickly, and it may be inaccurate or imbalanced so feel free to take it and remix it yourself!
This font I made in a jiffy. I thought about making a pixely font, mainly for coding, so I quickly prepared this thing.
Should I add more characters? I was thinking about adding Cyrillic, but my main idea was a font for HTML, so I only did Basic Latin and More Latin. (ANSI) If I wanted to do other characters, I could have just typed an HTML entity.
Yet I'm still stuck. Even though it is a monospace font, it could be used for writing, so it may need more characters. I don't know. Put your thoughts in the comments if you so desire.
06-03-2020: Added Cyrillic and fixed diacritical Latin characters.
It's split horizontally. An uppercase letter one line above the same lowercase letter produces a full 5x10 letterform.
Unlike other fonts with similar ideas, this one is made in a nonstandardized way. Some letters can be extended beyond 2 lines of height without changing their structure and some can't. By experimenting with these forms one might discover new styles.
Despite what the preview shows, there is no line spacing at all.
"Tameshigiri" means "test cutting".
Original size: 4pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
