Old Map Fonts Collection font


Random Discounted Bundle…

Inspired by actual cartographic materials from the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s, the seven typefaces in our popular Old Map Fonts Collection™ give you all you need to simulate maps and charts from days gone by. Each hand-drawn alphabet has its own distinctive character, and all seven typefaces (ten fonts total) feature period map ornaments. This bundle saves you 45% off the price of licensing these fonts separately. View Details »


Austin Pen font


Random Historical Pen…

Austin Pen™; replicates the penmanship of Texas empresario Stephen F. Austin in his famous 1834 prison diary. It comes with both a fine, legible regular style and a unique bold weight that looks like handwriting made with an over-inked pen. Comes with hundreds of ligatures and other OpenType alternates, ink blots and cross-outs, an uppercase hand-lettered alphabet, and full Latin support. Try it out here »


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. This sans-serif member is described by its designer as “a humanist sans in the Optima vein.’ Its letterforms are geometric wonders—fine, slim regular styles and clear, definitive bolds. (The other member of this group are New Millennium and New Millennium Linear.) Try it out here »


Antiquarian Scribe font


Random Old Map Font…

Antiquarian Scribe™ is one of two fonts of ours inspired by an original page I have of Atlas Historique, ou Nouvelle Introduction a l’Histoire, a world atlas published by Henri Abraham Chatelain in the early 1700s. Its slanted hand-lettered characters work well with the bold, upright glyphs of Antiquarian, its sister font. Both full-featured serifs are members of our Old Map Fonts CollectionTry it out here »


Paestum font


Random Display Face…

TWT’ eye-catching Paestum family was inspired by Greek inscriptions of 6th and 5th centuries BCE. (Its name comes from the Latin name for Poseidonia, a former Greek city south of Naples.) Comes with Light, Medium, and Heavy weights, each with upper- and lowercase alphabets, numerals, diacritics, and essential punctuation. Note: Paestum lacks unhistorical glyphs like currency symbols and the @ sign. Try it out here »


Cedar Street font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Cedar Street has the look of neat printing with a ballpoint pen on a porous pad of note paper, such that the strokes have bulbous ends where the ink’ soaked in. Its style is perhaps slightly eccentric, but the overall feel is of legible, casual hand-lettering. This full-featured OpenType font has nearly 800 glyphs, including small caps, plenty of ligatures, and full Latin support. Try it out here »


Broadsheet font


Random Antique Text Font…

Broadsheet™ is a two-style family that simulates the type on printed matter from the Colonial American period. Modeled after the text on actual 18th-century broadsides, this font gives you more double-s ligatures than you can dream of. Comes with true small caps, contextual and discretionary alternates, genuine period printer’s flourishes, and full Latin support. Try it out here »


Chromosome font


Random Offbeat Font…

Chromosome pretty much exactly replicates the look you get on 1960’s-era labelmaker labels. The font has four styles: Light, Heavy, Reversed Light, and Reversed Heavy. (The latter two knock the text out of whatever color label you specify.) It’s got only uppercase characters, but it does offer support for Central and Eastern European languages. A member of our Offbeat Grab Bag bundle. Try it out here »
