DanIlmoH's pIqaD fonts is a collection of Klingon pIqaD fonts (which currently consists of a single font), using the encoding for Klingon pIqaD registered in the ConScript Unicode Registry within the Private Use Area of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane from code points U+F8D0 to U+F8FF.
These fonts and their revision history are available on my (Daniel Dadap's) GitHub page at:
https://github.com/dadap/pIqaD-fonts/
I am not an experienced fontographer, so I will likely revise the fonts from time to time to correct mistakes. When this happens for an already released font, I will increment that font's version number with a semantic versioning scheme, with the major number representing changes to the font's metrics, the minor number representing all other changes to the font that do not affect its metrics, and the patch number representing documentation or packaging changes that do not affect the font.
pIqaD qolqoS is a typeface of the Klingon pIqaD script with a simplified design. You can think of it as a "sans-serif" interpretation of the pIqaD forms. It was designed with the intention of simplifying the glyph forms while keeping them recognizable to experienced pIqaD readers.
Just about anything you want, under the terms of the SIL Open Font License. See the LICENSE file for further details. Installing the fonts on your computer will allow you to view documents and messages written in pIqaD if you do not already have a pIqaD font installed, and will expand your available typefaces if you already have one or more pIqaD fonts. With the addition of a pIqaD input method, you can also compose documents and messages in pIqaD.
Klingon is a registered trademark of CBS Studios Inc. The shapes of the pIqaD glyphs are based on the scheme endorsed by the Klingon Language Institute.
The glyph of the Klingon Empire logo (listed in the ConScript Unicode Registry as "KLINGON MUMMIFICATION GLYPH") at code point U+F8FF was copied from the "pIqaD" font by qurgh, which was downloaded from:

This link is visible at the front page of https://hol.kag.org, which carries the notice: "These [fonts] are free to use, but we ask that this page is mentioned if they are used in a commercial product."
With the exception of the above mentioned glyph, all other glyphs in this font were drawn from scratch in BirdFont: https://birdfont.org/
