Über die Familie


When reading text, the most informative parts of the written word for a human brain to identify, are the top and bottom edges of each word, and to a lesser degree, the leading and trailing edges. The overall shape has more useful info than the inner workings of each word.

DT Enigmystic, is a display font family that gives you just that. The outer edge.

At first glance, these letters don't look like standard letters, and yet, they are perfectly readable.


And it is a 'somewhat' smart text, in that it will automatically complete the trailing edge of every word, whenever it sees a comma, period or space.

Similarly, it will automatically complete the leading edge of every word following a space.


When used as display test or as a heading, the first letter will need to be preceeded by a space, to achieve a full enclosed word outline.

As with most of my fonts, do use Contextual Ligatures. This allows the letters to come alive.

When generated here on this webpage, contextual ligatures are not turned on, and so the words do not appear completely closed at their beginnings and ends. But as can be seen in the poster images, these outlined words do automatically complete themselves when contextual ligatures are active.

Über Dragon Tongue Foundry

Dragon Tongue Foundry. Scott Spensley from New Zealand, is the overall designer of all Dragon Tongue fonts. The foundry of Dragon Tongue came in to being around 40 years ago, to be a source of new music and graphic design ideas. The first real high quality digital font from this Foundry was created around 20 years ago. It was a digitised version of Scott’s wife’s calligraphy. It was stunningly good, and admired by all who saw it. It was never released. Sadly, after the his wife passed away from cancer, and multiple hard-drive crashes, the font was lost, and there are now no versions of it remaining. Dragon Tongue shut down for a period of time, but recently, with extra spare time created by Covid and lockdowns… the Foundry has re-awoken, and is focused totally on creating exciting new fonts, in multiple styles. Some of the current style directions are, Serif and San-Serif, Handwriting and script, hand drawn period, Art-Deco to 80’s, from serious high quality to funky and fun, extending the range of known font styles, and exploring modern adaptable fonts using contextual ligatures and Stylistic alternatives, swashes and ‘smart’ letters that adapt to their neighbours and position in a word or sentence. We aim to craft fonts that feel ‘clever’, as if it knows what the writer wants of it. Fonts that add a little bit more than a standard font does. In some cases, fonts that feel natural and alive.
