Nota del autor

Apollonian by Daniel U. Thibault of Urhixidur Fonts is a free calligraphic display font built from sweeping curves and abrupt angular turns. Its thin hand-drawn strokes stretch into arches and pointed joins. Uneven proportions make the lettering animated and slightly unruly.

Those dramatic arcs can echo ribbons, vines, or gestural line art in poster illustration and music graphics. It also suits fashion branding where an unconventional signature is useful. Event invitations and theatrical programs benefit from its fanciful penwork.

Descripción
Apollonian 2002 1.00

A late-medieval secret alphabet which has been recorded in a number of versions, usually with a Greek mapping (e.g. Blaise de Vignère's «Traité des chiffres», 1586). Though traditionally identified as the script of Apollonius of Tyana, there is no evidence to substantiate this claim.

Apollonius of Tyana was the most famous philosopher of the Greco-Roman world of the first century A.D. He devoted the major part of his long life to the purification of the many cults of the Roman Empire and to the instruction of the ministers and priests of its religions. A well-travelled contemporary of Jesus Christ, many "wonders" and "miracles" were consigned by his biographer, Flavius Philostratus (who wrote his Life of Apollonius circa 220 A.D.), fodder for the long-running theological debate on the nature of miracles.

The glyphs are taken from the «Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils»
by Fred Gettings (1981). This font supplies a Greek mapping in addition to a Latin one (with Chi mapped to C, Eta to H, Theta to Q, Upsilon to U, Omega to W, Psi to Y). There is no J nor V.
