Zarathustra Font
Author's note
Zarathustra by Fereydoun Rostam is a free cuneiform-inspired display font with stark, wedge-shaped strokes. Its letters combine long hairline diagonals with dense triangular marks, forming open, angular shapes with a deliberately uneven cadence.
Museums, history publishers, and cultural events can use it to suggest ancient inscriptions without copying a conventional serif style. It is especially suited to exhibition posters, book covers, and educational graphics, where the lettering can establish an archaeological theme as part of the editorial identity.
--
Developed with the assistance of Mr. Keyvan Mahmmoudi of the University of Teheran, this font includes every known glyph for this ancient inscription. The glyphs are assigned to keyboard keys and are also Unicode-compatible.
This is a free font for non-commercial use and must not be sold by any means. For details about using the font or its permissions, contact:
