Typeface: Angel-Sealing Glyphs
A downloadable typeface
Angel-Sealing Glyphs is a font based on the angel-sealing hex glyphs from Rebuild of Evangelion (the Neon Genesis Evangelion reboot/alternate storyline movie series). These winding, calligraphic, brainscan-like, square-shaped glyphs show up in the background and on objects of arcane significance.
…Or, so I've been told, based on the fanwiki I found them on (I've never watched anything NGE). I just saw an image of the glyphs someone scanned from an official Evangelion artbook and figuerd some people might wanna be able to make these glyphs themselves without having to draw them out every time.
What's in the typeface?
88 angel-sealing glyphs, all roughly square-shaped, all fitting the same dimensions (every character is the same width and height at its extremes). You can produce all the glyphs using characters available on a standard QWERTY keyboard. For a full list, see the glyph table in the .pdf file, or the list in the .txt files.
The fonts are provided in .otf, .woff, and .woff2 formats.

Can I use these to write APL code?
Had to look this up, and the answer's theoretically yes if it was modified a bit. I'd need to double the glyphs in the font to cover all of ASCII and all the APL-specific syntax (using this IBM table of GCGIDs as a guide) and do a little unicode editing to cover the different dialects. It probably wouldn't take me too long to do if I made the new glyphs by flipping/rotating the old ones. The downside is, only ASCII and APL characters would appear as the angel-sealing glyphs; anything else would probably appear in a system font.
That's a significantly more helpful answer than my comment deserved. Thanks! I'll try it out next time I want something truly visually interesting.
great, funky stuff !
My friend sent me the opening text of Bee Movie encoded in this in a pdf file (aptly) named "powerful magic spells"

A powerful curse, that's for sure.
Looks fantastic.
Thank you!
