 In our 25 years of type design, we’ve somehow ended up with an even dozen vintage fonts that replicate pre-1800 source materials—six historical scripts, four old map fonts, and a pair of antique texts. Since history continues to inspire, even in the digital era, it occurred to me that some might appreciate a discounted bundle of these age-old typefaces.
“The Age of Discovery” generally refers to the 400 years between the 14th and 19th centuries, as Europeans set out in great ships to explore the coastlines of the continents of the world. Their expeditions begat the mixed bag of mercantilism, colonialism, and globalization—but also cartography. In fact, old maps of the era influenced four fonts in this collection: Antiquarian, Antiquarian Scribe, Geographica Hand, and Terra Ignota. And because records were kept by hand back then, the bundle also includes Abigail Adams, American Scribe, Geographica Script, Military Scribe, Old Man Eloquent, and Remsen Script. Finally, from Colonial America, came two of our vintage text families, Broadsheet and Castine.
All 12 typefaces (15 fonts total) are chock-full of OpenType features and have full Latin support. (The old map fonts also feature numerous cartographic ornaments.) US$149.
