Alien Secret Font

About this font

This font was originally designed for the development of a game. The goal was to create a font that at first glance appears to be an elegant, indecipherable, extraterrestrial cryptography, but upon closer inspection remains logical and legible to the human eye.

Special features & game mechanics

The font is “mono-space.” It is more than just a string of letters—it is a tool for puzzle designers and creative minds. Text blocks look like an unbroken surface of connected hieroglyphs:

1. Systematic encryption: Ideal for hiding secret messages in games. The player experiences an “aha moment” as soon as they understand the system behind the seemingly complex glyphs.
2. Cryptic aesthetics: Perfect for UI elements, alien terminals, or inscriptions in temples.

Tips for use

• Tracking/character spacing: The character spacing should not be changed because the letters should meet exactly on the left, right, top, and bottom.
• line spacing: Set the line spacing so that the lines touch each other exactly. The best results are achieved when you only write lines with the same number of letters.
