Moved you to a new thread for Worlds.  
Monolith Dark Fragrance for Gek.  
Zone 2 and I think the other one is only patially showing.  
I put an additional link at the top from Echoes.  
And the number 1 on the alphabet chart is backwards. The dot above the line should be on the right and the symbol for ! needs to be added

For clarity

Zones 1 2 3  
The 1 is the same all over the space station.

I have not looked around since Worlds so there may be more out there. Definitely some posters coming with the expedtion 14  
Edit: the new posters are blurry like the last ones. However, they cleared up so I assume these will too.

I’ve noticed the gone fishing poster has a date on it, 1982 however it uses a reverse version of the number one, or what you have to assume is the same as one for the text to make sense.

This character is used as an unknown character with a question mark as well as one other on the no mans sky wiki that appears to be the mirror of the number three.

So if this mystery has not been solved I think it’s fair to guess the numbering in the nms alphabet that uses squares to designate 1 and 3 can be mirrored as they still fall in line with the numbering mechanics.

Now has anyone tried calling the number at the bottom? I thought it might be the last few digits to hello games company telephone number but doesn’t seem to be.

To be honest, I think sometimes mistakes are made when using this alphabet. If you look at the ‘Call 0??’ I think it is supposed to say ‘Call 016’, the grammar police 😆

Seems the thread for this question/discussion.

The typeface that “the cursed” are speaking to us through, if it’s not the same as the font used for The Abyss update logo it’s certainly similar (I have yet to check).

If it is the same, it’s a fitting choice.

I’m wondering if anyone knows the name for this Typeface family? I think I will be needing it for the next Lore Compendium I make.

I cannot WAIT to make the one for this expedition omg I’m so excited… I just spent yesterday finalising Utopia and it was a lot of stitching things out of groups and into the correct order and none of it exciting or abyss based.

One thing I thought was interesting though was, Utopia leads into Singularity and one of the last story parts from Utopia is about machinery digging too deep and waking something up

Preamble aside… Typeface. That’s what I’m here about. Typeface!

Honestly, I’m not at all sure yet how the two relate. The abyss/void mother _is_ part of this reality, given that it’s basically the old korvax convergence gone insane.  
The Atlas, however, is more complicated… Technically it’s not, since it’s the AI running the simulation(s). On the other hand, it also seemsto be an instance in the simulation to “manage” the current one.  
The boundary breaches are _clearly_ a symptom of the Atlas breaking down, but the intruders would not necessarily be connected to the void mother. To a void mother from a _different reality_, maybe. I think my brain starts telling me to stop now…

I was kind of thinking the same thing some times with the way the messages were coming through, especially when some words that would ordinarily be in purple were showing up in Crimson (these are also grouped together in their own section seperate from the others in the LangFiles.)

But the more I played on the more I realised it was the Abyss but they’re using the opportunity to also have us thinking about LNF and things outside of the simulation.

I also re read the patch notes post. They specifically bring up revisiting threads from Atlas Rises and the Portals it brought to the game. They then go on to say, it’s up to the player to decide who they think is sending the messages.

So it’s purposefully vague but I guess that’s to say, it could be Artemis if you want it to be. It could be Ariadne.

Or in my case, the traveller greeting me at the final grave for A Voice, was Paul the Friendly Badger. He’s always been here. The whole time. (Don’t unblur Paul if you haven’t finished the expedition)

I searched “Google Font that is Similar to Dragon Serial Light” and the first result in the list coming from google font website was a font called “Spectral”. I haven’t even looked at it yet to see if it’s similar, but that’s a spooky coincidence 😃

There’s a Gek Water Safety Board? 😍

Is that a swimming cap on that Gek?

I noticed it specified friends and doesn’t mention anything about not drowning strangers or enemies…

I thought the Gek were amphibians. They grow up in water.

Maybe they lose their gills (or whatever) when they become adults.

(edit) I just looked it up - whilst unusual, apparently it’s possible for frogs to drown.
