variable width glyph (proportional instead of monospaced fonts).Unfortunately this can still produce visually very similar glyphs to us humans, but rest assured - the aliens have much more accurate visual perception and laugh at our problems to read their language. See whether you can spot the two numbers in the text (hint: they are surrounded by symmetrical brackets).Įach glyph is guaranteed to be distinct from all the other glyphs in the same font by pre-rendering and comparing pixel-wise during construction of the font. They show the two classical texts to show simple fonts: "The quick brown fox" and "Lorem ipsum". Have a look at the Lorem Ipsum links for each example.

Provided to YouTube by Believe SASAliens, Shamans, Glyphs and Ciphers Operator glyphs are a bit more complex than punctuation glyphs. Punctuation glyphs are much simpler than normal letters but still follow similar construction rules. The rules for digits vary slightly from the rules for letters. The following examples are automatically generated with the first 9 random seeds.Įach example has fairly consistent rules used to generate the glyphs for this language. Together with a (probably n-gram based) procedural sequence of these letters very different looking alien languages could be generated. The algorithm could easily create hundreds of letters.

Obviously alien languages would probably not follow these rules, this is an arbitrary decision to make them easy to compare visually. for a sci-fi game).Įach font consists of the glyph images for 26 letters, 10 digits and a few punctuation characters. This project is a proof of concept to generate "fonts" for alien languages (e.g. Procedurally generated fonts for alien languages
