Font built on a dotted grid. The sort of font you might create with a geoboard.

Just a doodle. Reminds me of typesetter's forms.

Every pixel of the negative space is trying to approach the letters in the positive space. But, they are repelled from the letters by a 1px border. This leads to a look that is not quite filled, not quite grunge, and not quite maze-like. The filled voids seem obviously anomalous, but can only reinforce the forms they attempt to engulf.

"Tacit Affront" is an anagram for "Artifact Font".

Inspired by the symbol ☈. I always thought this was the Retrograde symbol since it appears near the astrological signs in Unicode. So this font was going to be inspired by planetary orbits as well. Once I found out ☈ was in fact the thunderstorm symbol, I decided to stick with the jagged look!

- NOTES -

Use lower case to get Modern Gryzildan and UPPER CASE for Royal Gryzildan. Hold Shift while typing numerals/symbols to get the Royal ones.

These scripts do not canonically appear together on any in-universe writing. Gryzil writing is always written entirely in one script or the other. But, feel free to use this as you wish.

- DESCRIPTION -

This font contains two scripts of the Gryzil, Brer Brah's people, who are from various video games and stories of mine. Gryzil are a sapient bear-people that live on/near beaches in the continent of Skina on planet Fyromr. They have dull greenish fur, can speak, read, write and use tools, walk bipedally, and have beer fermentation chambers for stomachs. They appear in ESOS, Trap Farmer Brer Brah, and Anime Girls vs. The Cavemen.

To a Gryzil, to write something is like roaring it mightily. If it's worth writing it's worth roaring, and if it's worth carving into something, it's worth roaring out over the horizons for ALL TIME. This is true even of writing in the sand. Therefore we can consider the "." as a "!". In fact . and its counterpart > are the only punctuation symbols.

The written language of these creatures is designed to be without subtlety. Most of the subtlety of Gryzil communication is gestural. For instance, quotations do not exist in Gryzil writing. There can be a record that someone said something, but only when a Gryzil who heard it firsthand speaks of it is there understood to be a quotation - the rest is simply hearsay.

Royal Gryzildan has been in use for at least 8,000 Fyromr years. Modern Gryzildan, the last major reformation, is about 1,100 Fyromr years old.

This font is made as an attempt to anglicize the Gryzildan language - not to write it natively. Hence, it has some resemblance to Latin. But in fact these symbols all represent different gestures as well as different rasping, stamping, growling, and ingressive sounds which are unknown within Earth humans' formalized language studies. Nonetheless, you can write authentic Gryzildan with this. Read the Chalcedony-Bound Manual found in any of the games in which Gryzildan is used. In time perhaps I'll make a guide for posting here as well.

I made a very blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...

Recreation of a font from "Proxima", a 2000 public-domain homebrew SHMUP game by Alan Obee for Game Boy Color. This font is used on the title screen and high-score screens (though the highscore version is built of tiles and looks much more detailed).

.#$!? are inventions - not present in the original font, but useful nonetheless.

An experimental design inspired by megalithic structures, especially Inca stonemasonry. I wanted to create letterforms that looked like worked stone (with minimal gouges or openings into the stone) and that looked like they could actually stand up on their own as stone structures. The asterisk, quotation marks, etc. are obvious exceptions, since they need to be free-floating (although I did modify their spacing to make them appear to "rest" on the surrounding letters.)

The slants applied to the "stones" are just for style. :^)

The 7x7 pixel font from Virtua Gremlin, used for headers and menu titles.

Latin block is traced from Linux stock VGA8 font. Designed to fit 8x8 grid including spacing, so most symbols are 7x7 =WARNING= Line spacing is stuck and cannot be edited within FontStruct, you can edit it manually, see http://designwithfontforge.com/en-US/Line_Spacing.html for example.
