Edit, 2019-02-05: WhatTheFont was able to recognize the decoder ring! It’s Deniart Alchemy B<\/a> – see also MyFonts<\/a> and Linotype.<\/a> Alchemy C looks like the fuzzy text on Shawn’s computer screen; some decoding matches some Latin lorem ipsum text,<\/a> though that’s not done yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a fan of the TV show, “The Good Place.” The makers of it are fond of easter eggs, and some weird fonts made an appearance. Some folks on Reddit decoded them; I thought I’d make a font out of it. I made a quick lofi draft with iFontMaker<\/a> on an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I present: Afterlife Wingdings v 0.1, as a Truetype font (15k).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently missing: Q, Z, q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shawn’s computer earlier in the season used Alchemy C, blurred (see the podcast, around 1:14 in<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Neque porro quisquam” led me to a page about lorem ipsum’s origin,<\/a> and I think the translation kinda defends me spending time on translating this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d thought there was a glimpse, when Eleanor was looking over the green folders, but on rewatch from Hulu, I don’t see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
