The main language seen in the videogame Stray, used by the robots as communication. However it's more of a cipher than a proper language. Therefore it can be transformed into a font/typeface for people to use.

9/5/2022 - First Release, only basic latin.
Original typeface credit given to developers of the game Stray, I only take credit for the portions added onto the already existing typeface.
This font is a facsimile of a substitution cipher from The Shadow #10, "Chain of Death." Letters are replaced by blocky symbols, which consist of pairs of rectangular shapes separated by a space. To encrypt a message, the symbols are connected together by their outer right and left edges. This gives the appearance of a much greater set of symbols than there actually are, and the spaces will confuse potential codebreakers. There are no numerals or punctuation. I included square brackets ("[" and "]") for two special symbols that are frequently used to begin and end sencryptions (you can type messages [like this]).
Saw a pic of someone making a basic cipher with tic tac toe, so I decided my first font would be that. Enjoy...or don't. I'm not a cop.
Update 6/25/2020: I have been told that this cipher is actually the pigpen cipher. It has been properly renamed
The symbols found in Gravity Falls: Journal 3, created by Bill Cipher.
Gravity Falls and everything to do with it are the property of Disney.
-- Spoilers --
Bill drew this language in secret messages throughout the Journal, as well as a wheel which can be used for decoding.
This is a font based on the "AIQ BKR" cipher, one of several invented by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in his writings on the occult (specifically the Kaballah). This was originally a box cipher for Hebrew letters, based on the numerical value of certain letters.
This is not a true AIQ BKR. I have added missing English letters ('e' is just so useful!) and a disambiguous set of digits 0-9.
A vertical take on Morse code. These glyphs are read left-to-right from the bottom up and spaced so that 1 pixel = 1 unit of time, whether moving horizontally or vertically. Letters have 3 spaces between them and words have 7 spaces.
The result is a concise design that can easily be fed to tone-generation or image-to-audio software (e.g., AudioPaint) to produce accurately encoded & timed Morse code, no matter the frequency (speed) of the transmission. You can use this principle to create and place messages into music or games, make messages match a tempo or beat, arpeggiate words and turn them into music or sound effects, and much more.
The name is a pun. :P

21NOV2018: I've recently learned that many radio stations use an expanded version of the International Morse Code, adding many symbols and punctuation to it. Though these new glyphs are not part of the standard, they are commonly used and agreed on, so I will keep adding them as I find them.
