Tunic Font

Disclaimer

TUNIC is the intellectual property of ISOMETRICORP Games Ltd. and was published by Finji. I am not in any way, shape, or form, affiliated with them.

I did, however, thoroughly enjoy my time playing Tunic.

Introduction

I first had this idea the 5th of February 2024 while playing and began this project the 29th.

I worked on it almost every week until August 2024, at which point I stopped.

A year later, on the 4th of August 2025, I decided to go back to this project and put it on Github since I had nothing better to do.

Note: I originally did this project for myself, by myself. It's only after I was about to first finish this project that allowed myself to look through the wiki to compare what I've done. It's the reason why I call it "Tunic Script" and not "Trunic".

TODO

• Add numbers: 0 to 9.
• Add other symbols: solidus /, percent %, ampersand &.
• Fix the font errors that FontForge throws when generating the font.
• Have alternative ways of writing the glyphs (mostly X-SAMPA).
• Add support for RP (Received Pronunciation).
