| Descrizione | 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. |
