Geographica Fonts Set font


Random Discounted Bundle…

While diverse, the three fonts in our Geographica Fonts Set™ all arise from the same source materials: the 18th-century British map engravings of Emanuel Bowen and Thomas Jefferys. You’ll find here a handwritten serif, a graceful script, and a four-style modern book text—each with a series of impressive map ornaments and full Latin support. Choose this bundle and save 50% off individual purchases. View Details »


American Scribe font


Random Historical Pen…

American Scribe™ is modeled after the hand of Timothy Matlack (1736–1826), a Philadelphia brewer and master penman. In 1776, when the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration of Independence to be “fairly engrossed on parchment,” the task fell to Matlack, whose masterful script was perfect for the first and most famous of American documents. 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 »


Geographica Script font


Random Old Map Font…

Geographica Script™ is a careful simulation of the kind of 18th-century roundhand script you’ll find on engraved maps and trade cards of the mid-1700s. Six months in the making, the font has more than 1,100 glyphs, including scores of ligatures, historical flourishes, and an eye-popping series of period ornaments. It’s a member of both our Historical Pens and Old Map Fonts collections. Try 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 »


Professor font


Random Modern Handwritten Font…

Professor replicates the cursive script of an actual college professor (the designer’s late-father), who had the kind of plain modern hand schoolkids used to see on a blackboard. Replete with contextual ligatures, this font was designed to fool casual readers into thinking they’re scanning real handwriting. Has nearly 600 glyphs and full Latin support. A member of our Modern Handwritten Fonts CollectionTry 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. A member of our Offbeat Grab Bag bundle. Try it out here »
