Exocet is a typeface designed by Jonathan Barnbrook for the Emigre foundry in 1991. It was used extensively for product designs in the 1990s, most notably for Tazo Tea. It was also used in the film, Dogma, the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting Planescape, the Diablo computer game series and the Sony PlayStation scrolling shooter game Einhänder.
The font is inspired by ancient incised Greek and Roman letter carvings, with geometric shapes used for the main construction.[1]
It is an all-capitals font, with different capital glyphs shown for both lowercase and capital letters, as evidenced by the T/t difference in the image. It is available in “light” and “heavy” varieties. There is no italic.
