Octo Expansion font recreations
The HaikaraWalker artbook gave a page with clean, full versions of these scripts. Like in other gamemodes, there are many background details in the Octo Expansion in which these scripts are used to write legible english (or in two cases I’ve found, romanized japanese) words. I already had a lot of notes I’d kept on these scripts, so I decided to make these into useable fonts.
Please note that Nintendo’s use of these scripts is NOT 100% internally consistent (characters are often flipped or inconsistent (eg: 8 is often used for r),), gramatically or contextually correct (words are often truncated + misspelled. sentences such as “wedding portrait restration didital printing id passport video transfer fax copies” are used multiple times across various signs), nor always legible (you get the idea.)
In short: none of these scripts are a key to the alphabets, they’re foremost just a means of writing the characters.
Also, please note that the means by which I made these fonts (scanned them in and vectorized them, assembled into fonts from scratch) means there is likely some degree of a quality drop. I don’t have the means or time to completely assuage this, so hopefully it just won’t be a problem.
Feel free to use these in projects. I’d always appreciate a shoutout if you do, but it’s not nessecary.
Please don’t repost/rehost to other sites. Link back to my blog post if you’d like to share these.
