Author's note

Ugarit, David F. Nalle's free ancient cuneiform dingbat font, turns wedge-shaped marks into a stark archaeological texture. The symbols feel chipped and impressed rather than written, with sharp triangular cuts, irregular joins, and a dry, tablet-like rhythm that immediately suggests early scripts from carved clay.

This free font fits museum graphics, historical fiction covers, game lore pages, exhibit panels, and title cards that need an ancient Near Eastern cue without drifting into fantasy calligraphy. It also works well for short dividers, chapter openers, and emblem-like inserts, because the chunky, broken silhouettes read more like recovered signs than ordinary ornaments.
