Steel Alphabet Font (FE)

[Claincy he/him]

I've made a font for the steel alphabet as it was in the final empire period (because I think they look the best ). The letter assignments are based on our best knowledge of what they are. However it is possible that one or two symbols could be incorrect. If we do discover that I'll adjust it.

You can find the names of the metals on Isaac's site here:

The website is being somewhat painful and not letting me upload any more attachments. So I have uploaded it at steelministry.com here

There's an example of the font in action and a key there as well as the main zip file.

 

The zip file contains:
-The font file
-A readme with installation instructions and a bit about the steel alphabet/how it differs from english
-A key showing the symbols to the letters (modified from the mistborn 1 key on Isaac's site).
-A pdf of the shadows of self reading, converted into steel alphabet with all appropriate changes.

A couple of things to note about the steel alphabet:

-All double characters are represented with a single character (including things like "ie" and "ou")

-The numbers 0-9 are included in the font using the numbering from the chapter headers.

 

If you find any problems, or have any thoughts or comments please let me know =)

 

Edit: the website has now decided that I *can* upload images and pdf's so here's the transcribed reading, key and quick sample image. I still cannot upload the font file or a compressed folder with it :/

Edit2: If any mods/admins have an idea how to fix the uploading problem I'll upload it here

Very cool!

For the fun of it (and for the purpose of actually doing something with the font), I've transcribed the message that the lord Ruler left in the final storage cavern into the steel alphabet and put it on a metallic background.

 

(I wasn't able to upload it here, possibly due to file size or something, it is fairly large, so I've posted it at the same spot as the font:

I can't get your file to work. my computer doesn't have a program for .rar files. Any ideas?

Is it a Mac? If so, use what I have - get UnRarX

[dants he/him]

No, I'm on PC.

Try this.

steel alphabet font.zip

 

If you cannot open that one, download 7-Zip or WinRAR and you should be able to open it.

 

Let me know if you still have any problems

 

I didn't expect this thread to get revived =)

Awesome! What program did you use to make it, if I may inquire?
