Frequently asked questions
What characters make the text gun?
Mostly box-drawing blocks (▄ ┻ ═) with combining marks for detail — characters designed for drawing tables and borders, repurposed by text artists.
What is the sword made of?
Bars (▬) and ═ lines for the blade, with the Arabic letter ﺤ forming a convincing hilt — another found-typography classic.
