Credits

Most characters are own designs and built from scratch, often inspired by looking at several different other fonts to get a feeling for acceptable variations. Some however are based on freely available vector graphics:

All regional flags (that are not just stripes or other simple geometrical shapes) are based on the samples found in the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign_state_flags).
Most of the Safety Symbols are derivatives of public domain samples found in the Wikipedia (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GHS_hazard_pictograms and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7010).
The Hanafuda are heavily based on Louie Mantia’s work (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda, CC-BY-SA 4.0), with the colors adjusted to both match Catrinity’s general color scheme and to be more similar to two physical decks of Hanafuda I own.
Three of the Great Arcana use graphics from Openclipart (the Angel, the Devil and the Happy Squirrel).
The Staff of Aeasculapius is based on the one found in Twitter Emoji.
The Zodiac emoji are created from cliparts found on Clipground. The chess pieces Lion and Ox are also derived from these.
