A talisman is any object ascribed with religious or magical powers intended to protect, heal, or harm individuals for whom they are made. This should then be burned in an extensive ritual where after a ruhaniyyat will visit in your dreams telling you your ritual was successful, from there, you will repel snakes and scorpions.

Talismans are often portable objects carried on someone in a variety of ways, but can also be installed permanently in architecture. Talismans are closely linked with amulets, fulfilling many of the same roles, but a key difference is in their form and materiality, with talismans often taking the form of objects (e.g., clothing, weaponry, or parchment) which are inscribed with magic texts. Talismans have been used in many civilizations throughout history, with connections to astrological, scientific, and religious practices; but the theory around preparation and use has changed in some cultures with more recent, new age, talismanic theory. Talismans are used for a wide array of functions, such as: the personal protection of the wearer, loved ones or belongings, aiding in fertility, and helping crop production. According to new age talismanic practices, features with magical associations—such as colors, scents, symbology, and patterns, figures—can be integrated into the creation of a talisman in addition to the chosen planetary or elemental symbolism. However, these must be used in harmony with the elemental or planetary force chosen so as to amplify the intended power of the talisman. It is also possible to add a personal touch to the talisman by incorporating a verse, inscription, or pattern that is of particular meaning to the maker. These inscriptions can be sigils (magical emblems), bible verses, or sonnets, but they too must be in harmony with the talisman's original purpose. The Pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica, a series of closely related Arabic texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and perhaps dating to the ninth century CE, explores the concept of ruhaniyyat, i.e., angels from spiritual force/realm in the natural world, and how an individual can gain access to those forces.

A lucky font to carry around

No matter how much talent we have at our disposal, a great deal of a design project or career is often determined by sheer luck. Talisman is an attempt to harness the mysterious catalyzer and channel it through a hyper-minimalist design: with its casual, stripped-down, almost simplistic structure, it embodies the most prominent quality of luck: effortlessness, both in its manufacturing process and in its use.

Created with versatility in mind, Talisman's generous range of weights and widths ensure a great variety of visual expressions, only made more vibrant by its dashing oblique counterpart. It is a typeface ready to become the protagonist of a designer's most successful endeavors, an amulet to keep in one's pocket at all times, both as a first and as a last creative resort. Talisman's Normal cut is remarkable for its versatility.
