Anglic Font

[Flying Dutchman]

Well, here's another question that's probably been asked before. Sorry in advance if you are tired of seeing it pop up.

Just got Moon Toad Publishing's Type S manual and noticed the nice Anglic font they used on the deck plans and in their art. Is there someplace I can get that font to dress up my campaign's handouts?

Thank you for your patience and assistance in advance!

I don't have the book but the cover artwork (as seen at DriveThruRPG) the lettering on the ship is Vilani.

There are several fonts out there called Vilani, but I think I've only ever seen the one, angular, font used in publications. A google search reveals this site hosting all of them. I'm not sure which is which, but I think the one called Bilanidin Bold is the one used. The font I have is labeled Vilani 5, but I downloaded it years ago.

Anyway, I hope this is what you are looking for.

Was there ever an overview of all the different Vilani fonts or alphabets?
I know of the pencil sketch of Peters & Caswell (?), the font "Bilanidin.ttf" and the fonts
Vilani_head, VilaniBold5, VilaniSerif, VilaniStandart.

There a several differences or variations.
Two years ago I prepared a table to understand the Naasirka symbol with Vilani script in T5.

Thanks for pointing the way for me!

Try asking on the 'Contact!' subforum; that's where most of the Vilani-fondlers, erm, fontlers would be found.

As far as I remember, all those fonts and the transliteration systems underlying them that exist were worked up by one or more (?) fans just before the turn of the century, based on illustrations by, mostly or solely (?), Rob Caswell (?) in DGP-published materials. So whether any of it is canon or not today? I dunno. Can't say I'm enthused about the bloody-minded fixation on keeping on using them.
