Classic Font: Alecto

Alecto was originally released in 2002 and was one of the fonts developed for our Futuristic Fonts package. It has a unique science fictional look, combining some of the look of an OCR font with pure fantasy elements. It’s just the kind of thing you’d expect to see on the side of a spaceship in an epic space opera movie.

This updated version of Alecto includes an expanded character set with additional symbol characters and additional variant versions of the standard characters.

You can try the DEMO version of Alecto for free. The demo has a limited character set. Or you can ORDER the full version for only $24, with the Rodchenko image gallery included, and download it right away.
