If using IPA mode, use one of the websites listed below in the Useful Links section to convert text to IPA characters, then paste the IPA text into the text box above. Otherwise just type the sentence directly into the text box.
Letters only, no numbers, punctuation or special characters are included in this Galach font.
When in IPA Mode, use American English, and Strong Forms.
The font is called CaladanHex and was extracted from PDF promoting the work on Dune: Part One as part of Warner Bros' FYC (For Your Consideration) award campaign in 2021.
The font was missing the glyph for the character "C", however I was able to add in that letter, basing the design on the glyph seen in other Galach fonts used in the movie. The font does not contain any glyphs for numbers, punctuation or special characters.
There are two modes: Simple Substitution and IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).
The Simple Substitution mode converts the text to upper case, and then uses the corresponding font character. The single exception is for the character "X" which was missing in the font, and I've not been able to find a design for it. As such "X" is replaced with the characters "KS". This mode is used in some Galach text seen in the movie, such as the Herald of the Change's scroll.
The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) mode uses a lookup table to map IPA sounds such as /dʒ/ to the appropriate font character. This mapping is based on a number of other references, such as the book on the Fremen that Paul is seen reading on Caladan, and text from the FYC PDF. Unfortunately there are differences between the different sources, and often within the same source document. As such this tool may contain mistakes, but is based on the most common uses.
