Summary
Tornos is an ancient word root that means to create with circles. It appears in modern languages in words that refer to polishing (rubbing in a circular motion) or using a lathe (a machine that fashions wood or metal into circular shapes). This is the essence of Tornosa: its repetition and symmetry make it pleasing to look at but difficult to read, like a baroque decorative design that hides deeper meaning behind its circular glyphs and complex decorations.
The Tornosa font forms a unique cypher alphabet that is perfect for use in fantasy, science fiction, and role-playing game scenarios. It can be used to create illustrations, props, and accessories for RPG campaigns or festivals with fantasy or science fiction themes. It can be used to add depth and complexity to your worldbuilding for your graphic novels, and in the illustrations for the fantasy or science fiction series you are writing.
