Cipher from "The Adventure of the Dancing Men",
The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.
The fonts are available in the "Fonts" folder, and are in .ttf & .otf format
I was looking for the fonts of the cipher of "The Dancing Man" by Sherlock Holmes,
and looking online I found some examples, such as the one on this page:
http://gutenberg.osdn.jp/font/en.html
Testing the fonts, however, i immediately noticed that something was wrong,
in fact the cipher is not respected at all ...
I wonder what the fuck did they do it for?
So I look for others, and I find them, but as usual on the web it's all a clone of a clone ...
Fuck!
Anyway, I needed the same, and I needed the right one ...
So what?
And so, as usual, if you want a decent job you have to do it yourself ...
And here we are ...
I take advantage of it to share with all those like me who loved the story,
and want to use the fonts for their own purposes.
The following tools were used to create the fonts:
-Photoshop
-Calligraphr
-A Scanner (a Smartpone it's also good)
-Ink. Markers
To make the fonts so that they are compatible with the programs (photoshop and various)
i had to eliminate the variants with the flag (the spaces).
I could have inserted only one character (dancing man) for the space,
but I would have respected the philosophy of the cipher with less rigor,
and I therefore opted to make the cipher even more "old school".
Let us remember in fact that at the dawn (and beyond) of cryptography spaces
were not contemplated, and sentences were (and still are, when some manual systems are used)
encrypted without the use of spaces.
