After analysing the glyphs on the walls in Sandtrap (which are untranslatable at this time), they're broken down into three (or four) distinct sets: broad glyphs, LED-like glyphs, and circuit board-like glyphs. (There's possibly a 4th category of white rectangular dots that appear on the engraved walls.)

So I set about creating a set of Forerunner dingbats. I called the font... Forerunner Dingbats.

Full 97-character set example.

Feel free to download. CAUTION: To download the font from FontStruct you'll have to register with them. However it's one of the most useful and interesting free tools you can have as a designer, so it'll be worth it.

Naturally, typing vertically is not easy, so this font set is rotated 90°. I didn't include the entire set of glyphs on the walls, because many of them are just flipped vertically or horizontally - Have fun doing that yourselves :)

Did people get anywhere with translating the text of the Sandtrap wall?
