About RongoRongo Font Family


The Deniart RongoRongo series contains 292 unique symbols based on the inscriptions found on ancient tablets from Easter Island. Many attempts have been made to decipher the script and efforts are continuing to this day. Unlike many writing systems of ancient times, rongorongo is a mixed script, not an alphabet nor a syllabic script. There are approximately 120 basic rongorongo glyphs and these basic glyphs (main signs) are then affixed (prefixed, infixed, and suffixed), fused (one glyph atop another), and compounded. A "normal rongorongo glyph" can be a mixture of any of these. Each affix, for example a basic glyph of a person in a given position, like a arm pointing in a given direction, adds a different meaning and may change given the context in which it is positioned. As such, it can be said that there may be an almost indefinite number of combinations which in turn may give an indefinite number of meanings and we are not able to provide a translation guide at this time due to these complexities.

About Deniart Systems

For Deniart Systems, it all started with a passion and admiration for Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, a writing system that mystified scholars for hundreds of years with its complexity and beauty. Denise Koehler, a font designer, was equally mesmerized by this ancient writing system and after significant research, developed and launched Deniart's first product, Egyptian Hieroglyphics Volume One in 1993. From there, Deniart continued to expand on the Hieroglyphics series but that was just the beginning an it adopted the company motto of "Fonts that Span the Ages". True to its motto, the library gradually grew to include fonts based on other ancient writing systems like those of the Aztecs & Mayans as well as other pictorial communication glyphs like modern zodiacs and alchemy symbols. Deniart's fonts are used by many academic and advertising institutions and have been used to annotate such publications as The Sacred Tradition of Ancient Egypt and The Sacred Magic of Ancient Egypt by Rosemary Clark.
