A three-layered font for an on-line word game.
A three-layered font for an on-line word game.
This very complex font of initial caps was designed for game developer, Jason Rubin (Naughty Dog and Monkey Gods) as an integral feature in an on-line word game called MonkWerks. In the game points are earned by finding letters to complete words while working against a clock. The initial letter had to as though it might have come out of medieval illuminated manuscript, but for programming reasons it would only work as a font, not with images.

Just a few sample glyphs. The colours in my samples are to show the layers. They aren't as they were in the game... Really, I just wanted the monks to be dressed in the brightest magenta I could find.
