Author's note

Antediluvian font by Friso M. Roest is a free futuristic display typeface with a strikingly wide, elongated rhythm. Its tall, squared forms stretch across the line like a neon marquee, with tight spacing and sharp, machined corners that feel both digital and architectural. The result is a bold, continuous word-shape that reads like a sci‑fi title card or the logo of a lost arcade cabinet.

Using Antediluvian, you get a strong, cinematic presence that shines on posters, game titles, techno event flyers, album covers, motion graphics, and bold web headers. This free font thrives at large sizes, where its extended geometry can breathe and create that sweeping horizontal flow. For a clean hierarchy, pair Antediluvian with a simple, neutral sans-serif in smaller text to let its futuristic personality carry the main message.
