Author's note

Kentaurus by Neale Davidson is a free Greek-style display font with a sleek geometric build and strong sci-fi overtones. Its tall letters shift between broad arches and narrow vertical forms. Rounded corners soften the otherwise mechanical drawing.

Game title screens and museum graphics can both use its mix of Greek references and futuristic geometry. Technology branding benefits from the measured strokes and severe proportions. Posters and album covers can turn the unusual letterforms into a central graphic motif.

--

Kentaurus is based on Greek lettering and the Tech Manuals Kentaurus colony writing. It is a letter-replacement code font with glyphs aligned to their closest English equivalents.
