Creating a Font – Marain Script

YouTube – Creating a Font – Marain Script.

This video details the production of a novel, fictional script and typography based on Iain M. Banks' Culture Series, a science-fiction novel series that follows different settings in the context of the Culture civilization, a techno-anarchic polity where godlike-machines provide for humanoid and robotic drone constituents. This setting would otherwise be boring if not for the Culture's doctrine of intervening in the affairs of less-developed civilizations and races.

The Culture's language, Marain features a 3×3 nonary grid of dots. If you've read Excession, you can hear the Culture equivalent of a valley girl ask "What's Nonary?". The script was made with typographical features of Han and Arabic script. I also sense some Hebrew script influence.
