Nox Atra is a blackletter display face drawn for astrologers, with a Roman beside it. Its astrology glyphs are built in as required ligatures: type a colon, then the first letters of the name, and the glyph takes their place. :sol gives the Sun, :lun the Moon, :mar Mars, :tri a trine.
61 glyphs in all: the seven traditional planets and the moderns, the twelve signs (Capricorn in three forms), the aspects, the nodes as Rahu and Ketu, Chiron, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta and Lilith, the Lots of Fortune and Daimon, retrograde, eclipse, and the fixed stars from Aldebaran to Vega. A reference sheet in the user manual lists every code.
The download holds the font as OTF, WOFF and WOFF2, the user manual and the licence. It works in any app that uses fonts installed on your computer (Word, Pages, Adobe apps), but not in web-only apps such as Google Docs.
Licences: Desktop covers installing the font on one computer for print and image work. Desktop + Web adds self-hosting on one website. Studio covers up to five people. Get in touch for app, broadcast or larger licences.
New · Night
The site now has a night edition. Deep forest green takes the place of black, the woodcuts are re-inked in pale ink, and the red is tuned to glow without shouting.
Pictures printed in red ink, like the engravings and the portrait, are re-inked in the night green too, so the whole page speaks one colour after dark.

New · Edit this page
Every outlined word or picture can be changed right here. Tap the words and type. Headings stay one line; paragraphs take Enter for a new one. Straight quotes turn into proper curly ones by themselves.
Tap any outlined picture to choose a new one from your phone or Mac. It is shrunk to a sensible size first, then you can add a few words describing it for people who can’t see it.
Each change is kept as a draft the moment you make it. Only you can see drafts, on any device you are signed in on. Changes lists them all, from every page, with Undo beside each.
See as visitor hides the editing marks and shows the page as everyone will see it, with your waiting changes in place.
Send live puts every waiting change on the site in one go, so it rebuilds once (and spends one build, not ten). It is live in about two minutes and lands in /admin’s history too.
