Hayghin Daedric Font

A Free, Simple Daedric Font with Numbers and Basic Punctuation

This is a simple Daedric character font based upon Ayembedt for the letter glyphs, the number system documented by Llevndryn Sershilavu (a.k.a. Naka), and some additional punctuation marks from Source Han Serif to produce a font that is somewhat comfortable to read and write with.

The word hayghin comes from Casual Dumneris and means simple, to denote the sparse features of this font. I have admittedly only added glyphs that suit my needs in Markdown.

The alternate glyphs:

Doht	Hekem	Jeb	Yoodt	Yahkem
d	h	j	u	y
d	h	j	u	y

Font Punctuation

The font implements the Japanese single quotation marks and full stop. The left and right quote marks are respectively mapped to the square braket keys, [ and ]. (Regular quotation marks are not visible with this font.)

Instead, the single-quote key serves as the critical apostrophe mark.

Apostrophe	Period	Comma	Left Quote	Right Quote
’	.	,	[	]
’	.	,	[	]

There are further english marks that have been adapted to fit the font, and to aid with writing expression.

Question	Exclamation	Colon	Semicolon
?	!	:	;
?	!	:	;

Numbers

The dozenal system has been employed for this version of Daedric, but a more common decimal version is available as well.

Decimal

The default variant of this font, simply because of number convention. However, the dozenal system is better for interpretation of numbers among texts related to Morrowind.

Original source for number glyphs is L’alphabet Daedrique en Dunmeris by Naka.

Zero	One	Two	Three	Four	Five	Six	Seven	Eight	Nine	Ten
0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10

Example

In the darkest days Azura sent her great champion to reform the Broken Promise Blessing. Moon-and-Star, to sing peace, the unbreakable soul of the lost Chimer, would silence devils mad first. So the Hortator challenged Dagoth Ur’s army as no god could. The Five Great Houses and Ashland tribes heard the battlecall. Joined as one voice, the Dunmer screamed an end for the blasphemous undead. All come and see in Resdayn old, a newborn dawn. We prayed for your triumphant soul’s return, Nerevar.
