:''There is also a Typeface called Umbra . The umbra (") is the darkest part of a shadow. From within the umbra, the source of Light is completely blocked by the object causing the shadow. This contrasts with the Penumbra , where the light source is only partially blocked and there is only a partial shadow. The umbra is also the comparatively dark central region of a Sunspot . "Top Secret Umbra" is the codeword for the highest, most sensitive category of communications intelligence. In the '' World Of Darkness '' Role-playing Game setting, the term '' Umbra '' is the most commonly used term for those realms beyond the reaches of physical reality, such as the Spirit World , the Afterlife , and the Astral Plane . In the Elder Scrolls series of free-form role-playing games, Umbra is a sword, created by an ancient Sorceress, which has the ability to steal souls. This can be used by the player in the form of a "Soul-Trap" spell. It is usually guarded by a rogue warrior who has become a living extension of the sword, similar to the Soul Edge from the Soul Calibur series of fighting games. The Japanese electro/jazz/punk/pop band Boom Boom Satellites release their second album, entitled "Umbra" in 2001 following their worldwide debut album in 1999 called "Out Loud". SEE ALSO |
