New Millennium Sans font


Random Book Text…

New Millennium Sans™ is one of a group three typefaces that share a common name and design philosophy.

(The other member of this group are New Millennium and New Millennium Linear.) Try it out here »


Terra Ignota font


Random Old Map Font…

Terra Ignota™ is an interpretation of the hand-lettered legends and titles of Amerique Septentrionale, a 1650 map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson. Our oldest handwritten font, it seems evocative of pirates or weathered adventurers of the day. This full-featured OpenType font appears in our Old Map Fonts, Age of Discovery, and Handwritten History bundles. Try it out here »


Bucintoro font


Random Display Face…

Bucintoro™ is Lars Bergquist’s salute to the rotunda blackletter, the Gothic book hand of Italy and Spain in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. Named for the state barge of Venice, this font as three weights, each with upper- and lowercase alphabets, numerals, punctuation, and diacritics—but lacks such unhistorical modern characters as currency symbols. A member of our discounted Display Faces bundle. Try it out here »


Oak Street font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Fat and sassy Oak Street™ simulates printing from a felt-tip marker. A heavyweight attention-grabber, this font is nevertheless neat and readable.

One of six faces in our Modern Handwritten Fonts Collection. Try it out here »


Attic Antique font


Random Antique Text Font…

Akin to the Century faces, Attic Antique™ has the look of a weathered old serif from a century-old textbook. It’s surprisingly legible at any size, from 12-point text blocks to enormous billboard copy. Comes with roman and italic styles and plenty of OpenType-features, including true small caps, discretionary ligatures, and full Latin support—nearly 900 characters in all. A popular display face since 1993. Try it out here »


Speed Bump font


Random Offbeat Font…

Speed Bump™ does have upper- and lowercase Latin alphabets, but its chief appeal might be its vast array of wacky pictures (accessible via OpenType features or a character map utility). Need an apple, book, car, duck, eagle, or fish? They’re all there—plus a couple hundred more. Speed Bump has more than 500 glyphs and full Latin support.
