Antikythera, designed in 2012 by Iconian Fonts, is a free Greek-inspired display font with towering, sharply cut capitals. Its narrow forms mix broad vertical strokes with slim joins for a severe, carved silhouette. Repeated triangular notches and wedge-shaped openings give the lettering its unmistakable edge.
Classical Greek inscription is its clearest reference, making it well suited to theater posters, museum graphics, and historical game titles. Its aggressive geometry will also appeal to heavy-metal and fantasy audiences. In publishing, it can turn a mythology book cover into an extension of the subject rather than neutral titling.

Antikythera is a title font named after the Antikythera mechanism, discovered off the coast of a Greek island several decades ago. The device was a precise calculation instrument whose engineering was centuries ahead of its time. Historians consider it the first true computer, and no device with similar functionality and engineering appeared again for several centuries.
Antikythera includes a complete Latin character set.
