Author's note

Exocet Light by Jonathan Barnbrook of Emigre Graphics is a free inscriptional display font built from sharp, geometric capitals. Its broad curves and crossed diagonals recall carved symbols, with small wedge-like serifs cutting into the otherwise spare forms. The result feels ceremonial and slightly cryptic.

A fantasy game title is its clearest use, though the same geometry also suits album covers, film posters, and historical graphics. The recurring circles, crosses, and blade-shaped details let the lettering become part of heraldic or occult-inspired imagery rather than serving as neutral text.
