Old Map Fonts » Geographica Hand |
|
Modeling antique fonts after historical materials gives you intimate familiarity with those old letters and journals and maps. The maps that inspired our Geographica serif family proved more fruitful than I first expected: they begat a pair of spinoffs of sorts, each replicating a particular 18th-century handwritten style. This is one of these. (Geographica Script is the other.) Geographica Hand mimics the careful hand-lettered serif text on a series of British maps printed in the 1700s by Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Jefferys, and othersseveral of them representing Colonial America and Canada. The letterforms have long serifs, irregular lines, and an agreeably organic feel. Geographica Hand comes with a series of hand-done map ornamentschurches, windmills, boats, trees, and such.* Best perhaps for display situations, but plenty legible in text blocks, as well. $39 | Order
Geographica Hand is included our Old Map Fonts collection.
*OpenType features include true small caps, contextual and discretionary ligatures, lining and old-style figures, cartographic ornaments, and full Latin support900 glyphs in all. |

Keep up the fonts! They are some of the best I have seen in 10-plus years of design. M.O., Little Rock AR
I happened across your website completely by accident, and I was astounded by the fonts I found there. They are amazing. M.S., Ontario, Canada
The Texas Hero font is fantastic and just what I have been looking for. D.M., Mahwah NJ
Bonsai is very beautiful; the font's antiquity seems to conjure a sweet staleness of old newsprint, somehow. A.T., Ontario, Canada
The Lamar Pen font is divine. We are using it on a novel set in the eighteenth century, and the author is ecstatic. J.H., London, England
Oh! I'm in loooove with this font! It's lovely, it's organic, it's real, it's got history & tradition. My designs are singing! C.C., Palo Alto CA
