Author's note

Daedra by Neale Davidson is a free fantasy alphabet font with an arcane, ceremonial look. Its tall, uneven signs combine sweeping curves with abrupt hooks, pinched joints, and blade-like points. Eye-like marks punctuate several forms.

Fantasy game studios and dark entertainment brands can use it for title cards, merchandise, and event graphics because the symbols resemble coded ritual writing. In publishing, it suits speculative fiction covers and illustrated lore pages where the lettering becomes part of the fictional world.

--

Daedra is based on signage and glyphs from Bethesda Softworks’ The Elder Scrolls series, including Daggerfall, Oblivion, and Skyrim.

It includes a regular alphabet and unofficial fandom numbers, in regular, bold, italic, and bold italic weights.
