Nug-Soth Font
Author's note
Nug-Soth by Daniel U. Thibault of Urhixidur Fonts is a free futuristic display font built from geometric strokes and interrupted forms. Its caps resemble technical symbols more than conventional lettering. Triangular shapes, boxy enclosures, and severe right angles create an austere machine-made silhouette.
Its coded appearance suits science-fiction posters and game interfaces, yet the construction makes it credible for experimental music packaging and merchandise. Across both settings, the angular letterforms connect naturally with alien technology, cryptic diagrams, and industrial imagery.

Description
Nug-Soth 2002 2.00
A freeware ancient/fantasy script font.
«Ye characters of Nug hold ye key to ye planes, employ ye them in ye talismanic art and in all ye sacred inscriptions»
Nug-Soth was a magician of the dark conquerors of 16 000 A.D.; victim of a mind transfer with a member of the Great Race of Yith, he was sent to 150 000 000 B.C. where he met Professor Peaslee. («The Shadow Out of Time», H. P. Lovecraft) Nug-Soth also designates a race of metallic-city-dwelling insect-mages locked in a doomed struggle against the Dholes («Visions of Yaddith», Ariel Prescott and/or Lin Carter). Neither is really connected with the Necronomicon.
This "alphabet" was invented for the (rather pitiful pseudo-esoteric) Avon edition of H. P. Lovecraft's wonderful bibliographical invention, Abdul Alhazred's Necronomicon. You can see it displayed in Dino Manzella's e-book "Forgotten Scripts" (http://www.afternight.com/runes) and elsewhere on the Web.
The digits and the letters K and U are my inventions. The original "source" stated the alphabet was used to transcribe Latin, and therefore there was no K nor U ---one was to use C and V respectively instead.
Version 1 was created on 1999-October-06 with Softy, and suffered from a number of internal deficiencies. The characters were also incorrectly proportioned.
