Inkling, a font created from characters that appear in the game Splatoon—seen on Sunken Scrolls, in Octo Valley, written on in-game gear, etc.



DOWNLOAD BELOW!

17 distinct alphabetical glyphs (excluding rotations/mirrored versions) of this writing system have been seen in-game so far. I've vectorized and mapped each character to its closest English (Latin alphabet) equivalent, when possible, so typing English words in this font will lead to somewhat readable text. Unfortunately, Inkling is essentially gibberish—in-game Inkling text cannot be translated and in most cases has no meaning (i.e. the choice of which glyph goes to which character in this font was completely arbitrary, but made to expedite being able to type the characters you want).



By no means does this font provide all the non-English characters seen in-game, as multiple writing systems exist; the characters in this font are those that are the most predominant and widely used.



IMPORTANT NOTE about how this non-standard font works and how to type the 100+ (!) different characters:

Letters listed under "Other" in the list of available characters above will not produce their designated character, but rather one of the various symbols from in-game such as brands and other logos. Image-based characters are listed below:

Notes:

When installing the font via Font Book on macOS, a warning may appear that the 'name' table structure is incorrect. You may safely ignore this.
