Drow Angular by Daniel U. Thibault of Urhixidur Fonts is a free angular fantasy display font with sharply tapered strokes and fractured, off-kilter forms. The letters look carved, hooked, and deliberately unstable.
As an illustrated emblem, it belongs on fantasy game packaging, event posters, and book covers built around dark invented worlds. Merchandise for role-playing events also suits its jagged silhouette, though game graphics remain its clearest and most convincing use.
The original glyphs supplied by the on-line Elven Kingdom of Arèthane (http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/vortexshadow/arethanehome.html; follow the link to the Elven Alphabet and Dictionary) were very rounded in appearance; this version tries to match more closely the spiky look of TSR's Drow Runes. The Arèthane character mapping was extensively modified and a large number of glyphs added (digits, punctuation, etc.).
The term Drow originally designated a tiny elf which lived in caves and forged magic metal work (Scottish mythology). The term was used by E. Gary Gygax and TSR to designate an underground dwelling, chiefly evil branch of the elves --and this is the version that took hold of contemporary imaginations. The terms Drow and "Dark Elf" are interchangeable.
