3IP Type Library font


Random Discounted Bundle…

The 3IP Type Library™ consists of 34 typefaces (55 fonts in all), most inspired by old and new handwriting, antique texts, and vintage map lettering. (The historical replications are exacting enough to be mistaken for genuine archival materials.) All come with ample OpenType features and wide Latin language support. Buy this collection for one-third the price of licensing its member fonts separately. View Details »


Botanical Scribe font


Random Historical Pen…

Botanical Scribe™ was inspired by the fine, hand-inscribed legends on the early-19th-century floral etchings of Belgian painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Because of its slight organic imperfections, it has a warm, accessible feel while remaining elegant enough for formal invitations and the like. Try it out here »


Eleonora font


Random Book Text…

A four-font family, Lars Bergquist’s lovely Eleonora typeface is a legible, modern serif with an especially unobtrusive nature. Rather than true italics, for instance, it comes with rather restrained obliques to match its Regular and Bold styles. Useful wherever a block of text might be required. Like all our fonts, this family is available for Desktop, Web, and combined (Full) licensing. 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 »


Bonnycastle font


Random Display Face…

The eponymous Bonnycastle™ replicates the bold, italic hand-lettering on the charts and maps of Sir Richard Henry Bonnycastle (1791–1847), an English officer and military engineer who served in the War of 1812 and settled in Canada. Comes with small caps, bunches of ligatures, stylistic alternates, and full Latin support. A member of both our Old Map Fonts Collection and Display Faces CollectionTry it out here »


Pumpkinseed font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Our Pumpkinseed family has eight styles, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Black, plus obliques of all four weights. A tidy sort of hand-drawn sans serif, this typeface has a jaunty, angular nature. It’s also got plenty of OpenType features, like true small caps, old-style and lining figures, scads of ligatures, and full Latin support—nearly 800 characters in all. A member of our Modern Handwritten Fonts CollectionTry it out here »


Bonsai font


Random Antique Text Font…

A personal favorite among the text fonts I’ve designed, Bonsai™ is, well, top-heavy. But it’s this very top-heaviness—as if printed with worn or off-center lead type— that gives it a peculiar allure. It’s soft, warm, friendly, legible, accessible. Its roman and true italic styles have plenty of OpenType features, true small capitals, and Latin Plus support. (Note its use in the heads on this website!) 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. A member of our Offbeat Grab Bag bundle. Try it out here »
