Artist's Comments

I made a TTF of the Helghan Alphabet to ease the creation of my last propaganda poster, and never got around to posting it. I'm just posting it on the off chance anybody would have a use for it.

As I made this only for personal use, there are some issues with font. The font size has to be increased greatly to make the characters the intended size. Some combination of characters may slightly overlap each other and have to be spaced manually. As I don't make fonts, I don't know how to fix these problems.

I can only take partial credit for this work. Obviously I did not make the alphabet myself, that credit would go to someone at Guerrilla Games. The characters themselves are partly my work, I had an image of the characters but don't remember where I got it. The quality of those characters were not good enough for a font, so I enhanced them manually.

Being such a zealous helghan I cannot BELIEVE this escaped my site. Awesome worx. I just wish someone would develop this language to mean something more. same goes for the whole helghan story I guess. Hail Visari

Supposedly the Helghan alphabet actually translates into English or some other real language, but nobody has deciphered it, and the devs haven't said much.

Thanks, but that's not correct either. If you try to translate anything from that to English, you get nothing. I think the devs said that it acted more like Korean than an alternate English character set. As far as I know, nobody has figured it out.
