Geographica is a legible, four-style serif family modeled after the neat hand-lettered place names and peripheral text on the maps of Thomas Jefferys (ca. 17101771), the best-known cartographer in 18th-century England. Jefferys won (and hyped) the title “Geographer to King George III.” but was more an engraver/publisher than a geographer, mostly relying on the materials of others; still, his maps of the North American colonies were well known. Geographica combines a sort of hand-drawn warmth with a distinctly historical flair. Its long serifs and ample x-height will add classic elegance to long blocks of text or display type, whether on paper or screen. OpenType features include small capitals and two stylistic sets of titling caps, along with a slew of unique cartographic ornaments and full Latin supportmore than 1,200 glyphs in all. US$99.

Thanks so much for the great service and wonderful typefaces! S.F., Evanston IL
The fonts are just gorgeous. Always a thrill to find a great company with superior merchandise. D.B., St Paul MN
Oh! I'm in loooove with [Lamar Pen]! It's lovely, it's organic, it's real, it's got history & tradition. My designs are singing! C.C., Palo Alto CA
I'm always on the lookout for handwriting fonts that look more like handwriting than fonts. I've always relied on Texas Hero, Schooner Script, and Emily Austin and was very happy to see Lamar Pen and American Scribe. A.L., Los Angeles CA
[Treefrog] is a real mess and breaks all the rules and I love it. P.M., Palatine IL
I took one look at American Scribe and knew it was the Declaration of Independence before reading the ad copy. You captured it perfectly. B.P., Marietta OH
This is a fantastic resource and the fonts are beautiful! C.B., Bethesda MD
