This font is an updated version of my original “Thraex Sans” font which I created for PokéLatin (originally Galarian). With the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A, new characters and diacritics were added to PokéLatin, prompting me to revise Thraex Sans to Thraex Magnus. Here is a list of features & changes:

• Game authentic letters!
  • Replicated the most basic sans serif PokéLatin font used in the game, albeit with little minor personal tweaks for legibility.
  • BTW, why is it called “Thraex”? A Thraex is a Roman gladiator known for speaking Latin and fighting with a sword and shield.
• New letters! New Diacritics! Movie Cool!
  • Pokémon Legends Z-A added many new letters, and so I’ve included all the known ones.
  • Also added were two diacritics (a “triple umlaut” and “sub grave”), and I was able to add the ability to use either OR both on every single letter. Just be sure to type the symbol FIRST then the letter!
  • There are six remaining slots (d u v x y z), just in case the final game adds new letters which were unknown when I made this.
• Reorganization of letters
  • All letters are now either in “uppercase” or “lowercase” slots, although technically there is no actual connection between them. I did try to keep things looking similar.
  • Unfortunately I couldn’t keep the original Thraex Sans locations for many letters; previously I also used numbers and symbols for characters, which affected the ability to properly write them
  • I did try to keep as many Thraex Sans letters in their original locations, tho! But at least now words will LOOK like words, instead of something like AU5!b^
  • In the process of updating character locations, I also updated some of the characters themselves, making them look a little closer to how they’ve been depicted in the games. It’s subtle, but you might notice a few changes relative to the original Thraex Sans
• New extra custom symbols
  • Now that those numbers and symbols are freed up, I used them to add in actual numbers and common special symbols, just to make the font more usable for artists.
  • I even added the PokéDollar symbol!

One side-effect of the rebuilding of Thraex Magnus is that I now have a template to make different versions of it… such as a Serif font, or even a Papyrus/ComicSans version! If you wish to prevent those abominations from existing, please send $1 million dollars to my Patreon account. Thanks!

Unown TCG

This is the Unown font used on Pokémon TCG cards. Like, Unown fonts are common, but this one actually recreates how they appeared on Unown cards between Neo and DPP sets. It includes ALL Unown characters used on a Pokémon TCG card, and using their proper sizing and kerning. Includes ! and ? Unown icons as well!

Just a couple notes about this release:

• Unown letters are the same regardless of upper or lowercase: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!?
• The kerning, line height, etc, are based exactly as they appear on Pokémon TCG Neo-era cards, meaning they’re sized up relative to Gill Sans. I realize that they were shrunk down on DPP-era cards, so I made an executive decision. MAYBE I’ll release a smaller size for DPP-era cards.
• One small issue I noticed is that Unown T actually had two line height positions based on whether it was its name or in the Pokémon Power. I chose the name height, but maybe I’ll change lowercase-T to the Pokémon Power line height.
• Since Unown ? and ! didn’t exist in the Neo-era sets, I used the DPP-era text but based their size on the Neo-era designs.

Future Font Ideas

These are font ideas I have planned for the future, but they require a bit of work. Still, I think it’ll be useful for the community at large to have these fonts available to them:

• Pokémon TCG set symbols — From Jungle to Scarlet/Violet, every set was represented by a set symbol. Those days are long gone—sadly—but the need for vectorized set symbols in a handy font would be awesome, y’know?
  • Current Status: I got high quality scans of all the set icons from Jungle to Neo Destiny, including promo icons, the 1st Edition symbol, and other Japanese symbols that never were seen in North America. I now gotta vectorize them.
  • Ultimate Scope: The general plan is to vectorize and include:
    • MAJOR SETS: all set symbols from Jungle to Crown Zenith, as well as promo sets (bare minimum the more relevant ones; the more obscure sets like “PokéPark Forest/Blue” will probably be skipped)
    • WHITEOUTS: some sets—but not all—have a unique white half of the icon which isn’t just a generic white border around it (see below icons); so I’ll include these white outs wherever necessary. Or apparently I can include multi-color SVG graphics into a font, meaning the white bits are baked in. I’ll check that out!
    • OTHER ICONS: anything that isn’t recognized by the game, such as the 1st Edition symbols (both Wizards and Japanese)
  • International rarity symbols are in EssentiarumTCG, but the Japanese “C”/”U”/”R”/etc style Rarities are simply Futura Black. I’m not gonna vectorize an existing font like that, let alone one that is fairly accessible.
• Other languages (like Alolan, Hisuian, etc), designed in tandem with Resident Language Expert Elementsnstuff
• Legally distinct Pokémon TCG type icons for your legally distinct Custom Monster Cards
  • So maybe a Colorless icon with seven points, or a Lightning icon with three corners, etc.
  • Basically a version of all the types where you never have to worry about using ANY art assets from Nintendo/TPC but just close enough that people would be able to recognize it for what it’s supposed to be at a glance.

That’s all the font ideas I have in mind… for now.
