This image shows all the characters that are available in this font.

ALPHABET
The alphabet is pretty straightforward.

• Capitals have an accent over them
• W, X and Z are the same character.

ALTERNATE LETTERS

• N and O have alternate letters as official sources contradict each other.
• You choose which versions you prefer.

NUMBERS

The Dethek number sytem works similarly to Roman Numerals, but only goes up to 1099.

• Numbers are more literal, so...
• 7 is written as 5  1  1
• 12 is written as 10  1  1
• 134 is written as 100  10  10  10  1  1   1  1
• A clear explanation can be found here, on the Dethek wiki page.
• This font uses 7 characters to create Dethek numbers
• 1 represent 1
• 5 represents 5
• 0 represents 10
• - is used to link numbers
• + represents 100
• = can be added before a + to make 1000
• | represents 1 if attached to a 10

These pictures should start you off...

Torchlight Fantasy Products

Although I'm 20, and relatively young compared to most D&D gamers, I have been influenced my my dad. My dad was a full on gamer back in the 80s. He was a hardocre gamer before computer games and warhammer.

His enthusiasm has rubbed off on me somewhat, and I recently discovered his collection of old Torchlight products. If you dont know what Torchlight is check this flick page.

Torchlight was basically a company who made resin dungeons for use in the table-top game back in the 80s. The company went bust before the 90s, but has since become quite culty among the older gamers.

Anywayz, i'm looking to refurbish my dad's collection and hopefully make some molds from his pieces and resell some of these great products.

Dethek Project - Part 3

Just found out that the dethek letters for 'n' and 'o' are translated differently in different sources.

I've decided to use the most recent source as the base for my alphabet, but the alternate letters can be typed using special character ñ and õ

Dethek Project - Part 2

Hi folks, the font is coming along nicely, I've managed to capture the Dethek numeral system.

I've also added the Dethek symbols, in place of punctuation as Dethek has no punctuation.

I'm trying to make this font more accurate to the actual runic system. So if Dethek doesn't have an equivalent to a character, it will not be included in the font.

Dethek Project

Hi folks, I've been studying the D&D Forgotten Realms universe a lot recently. In particular, the dwarven rune script, Dethek. Check out this wiki page to learn about Dethek.

There are already a few Dethek fonts available but I don't really like them. Neither of them have successfully captured the Dethek numeric system.

I'm working on my own Dethek font at the moment. Should be ready soon. It will be able to type Dethek numbers properly.
