Khalos
A display typeface born from a 2002 MMORPG adventure
Khalos is a display typeface designed by Matthieu Salvaggio and Léon Hugues at Blaze Type, released in 2025 with multiple weights and true italics. It is inspired by the adventures of a group of Darshanides in the MMORPG Ultima Online, specifically on the Dark Prophecy shard around 2002. Long spiky serifs and high-contrast round forms balance elegance with barbed feeling. The family bridges historical calligraphic ductus with a contemporary approach to width rhythm, intended for headlines, posters, books, websites, apps, and video-game screens.
