Typeface Design for Fantasy Gaming

Six uncial display styles, each named for a school of magic

Dargon is a fantasy type family designed by Anne-Dauphine Borione and published by TypeTogether in 2026. It comprises two subfamilies: six uncial-inspired display styles and five text and italic styles for body copy across screens and print. The six display variants are each named after schools of magic from a role-playing game — Ignis, Limen, Mutatio, Oculus, Aegis, and Umbra. The family spans 16 styles total, covers more than 200 Latin-based languages, and includes a variable font format for the text subfamily.

Insights

The display subfamily draws on uncial letterforms to signal historical myth while remaining suited to large-screen rendering such as TV and console interfaces.
Dargon Text uses sharp prominent serifs, flaring stems, and generous spacing — choices the foundry attributes to legibility in continuous reading on screen and coated paper.
A variable font format is provided specifically for the text subfamily, enabling fine control across the text subfamily styles.
The family's 16 styles were designed to cover an entire fantasy game campaign: UI menus, dialogue boxes, title treatment, packaging, and editorial copy.
