A few xenomorphs posing for the font at gunpoint /s

XenoPose

A font based on xenomorph specie from Aliens franchise.

Base design

The design is mainly based on the drawings made by @Predaguy. The original designer had prepared the homework for his typography class, and then released it online on DeviantArt which are linked and attached below: uppercase (dead link, backup here) and lowercase (dead link, backup here).

Conversion to digital font

@NightFurySL2001 had reached out to @Predaguy for the digital source files, which luckily had a backup of the vector illustrations, and kindly provided permission for @NightFurySL2001 to convert it to a digital font. The vector diagrams are subsequently modified and adjusted for production usage. She has kindly assembled the font and release it under a open source license for all to use.

A total of 90 glyphs has been made, with the 52 Latin alphabets from @Predaguy, and the remaining 38 numerals and punctuations from @NightFurySL2001. The final font file contains 92 glyphs. Some punctuations are missing due to lack of design inspiration.

Fonts are available for download in fonts folder.

Building from sources

The build chain runs on Python 3. Requires gftools builder to build the font and brotli for webfont WOFF2 compression.

To build the font, run gftools builder ./sources/config.yaml.

Licensing
