Author's note

Masonic Cipher is a free esoteric symbol font based on the stark geometry of the pigpen cipher. Heavy monoline frames, open corners, and carefully placed dots form a coded alphabet with the immediacy of hand-drawn signs.

Secret societies, hidden messages, and puzzles are its natural territory. It suits escape-room graphics, game interfaces, and mystery-themed posters, where the symbols serve as clues and decoration. In publishing, it can turn chapter openers or coded passages into part of a mystery narrative.

This is a rendering of the Masonic Cipher, an alphabet used largely by Freemasons in the 18th century. A squared version is used for capital letters and a rounded version for lowercase letters. The additional symbols consist only of punctuation: comma, exclamation mark, question mark, period, colon, and semicolon.
