About

Polyphemus is a decorative display typeface inspired by the Cyclops of Greek myth, aiming to fuse ancient mythology with the raw industrial aesthetics of 1990s graphic design. It comprises just 26 uppercase glyphs, making it unsuitable for body text or extended typesetting. A novelty headline face with strong visual character but very narrow practical application.

Classification

A bold, single-weight display face drawing on mythology and 90s industrial aesthetics. Extremely limited character set of 26 glyphs (uppercase Latin only), making it purely decorative. No italics, no condensed, no mono.
