Dethek Project - Part 4

Well the font is finally finished. The most accurate and complete Dethek font on the web. Dethek is a script used the Forgotten Realms universe.

As mentioned in previous posts, Dethek has no punctuation and a strange numeric system, so please visit the Dethek wiki page to better understand the usage.

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
