Alien speech fonts. Assigned them to ships. xD

Published on Wednesday, October 19, 2016 By Hunam_ In Founders Starbase

Since not all aliens were revealed and I had the urge to personify them with fonts, I just took the sucky quality ships pic, used the best of my imagination and assigned some cool fonts to them.

I might be totally wrong in my descriptions and associations, don't judge too harshly.

 

1 - Extremely advanced, mastered the power of nuclear fusion = font is clean, concise, perfect.

1 - Ancient, been everywhere = olden looking font with a touch of alien'ness.

2 - My favorite race so far (Mukay): Smart, collected, benevolent = font is exquisite, elegant, pure.

2 - Another variant of "fish" font (I hope they aren't offended ).

3 - Avant-garde, cutting edge dark matter tech, more digital than analog = hi-tech, superb digital font.

3 - A bit more alien and more analog/organic variant.

 

4 - Fat barrel guys = font reflects that.

4 - Curvy + straight shaped ship = this font reflects that too and too cool looking not to include .

5 - Well these are Hunams = simple, but ornate font for future hunamity.

5 - More classy variant.

6 - Scryve "the bad mofos of space" = stern, ominous, nod to Starcraft 

6 - this variant is austere, relentless, unemotional (probably would get the game banned in Germany and couple of other countries too)

 

7 - Good guys Tywom/Caterpillars/Worms = loopy font reflects that.

7 - Another variant to match our fat inter-vertebrate neighbors.

8 - Space hobos, low tech, scavangers = they use stencil and spray paint to write shit. 

8 - And when they need to send an email, they just slap some bulb letters & numbers yanked out of an ancient derelict ship on an outdated PCB, run Outlook and call it a day.

9 - Prime digital beings, multi part ship = multi part, streamlined, extrinsic font.

9 - Another, softer variant.

10 - Low tech, predominantly organic, evil, putrid = font reflects that.

10 - Marauders, space pirates, raiders = font reflects that.

 

11 - Archaic, enigmatic, religious = font reflects that.

11 - Another variant of cryptic font.

12 - Is this "You can trust him"? Small ship = small neat font. Enjoy. 

12 - Another a bit more funky variant for little guys.

13 - Exotic race in eccentric ship with glass sphere cockpit gets the best font ever. And it's readable too! I absolutely love that font.

13 - Two other, simpler variants if the first one is too off the wall.

14 - These guys are ultimate evil. Reapers of Star Control. They get this hex'y, stick'y, a-la Predator font that somewhat matches ship lines.

14 - Less readable variant.
