Terra Ignota font

New Release!
At last Terra Ignota™—inspired by the handlettering on a 1650 map of North America—is available for licensing. The source material is "Amerique Septentrionale," a map by noted French cartographer Nicolas Sanson. I first began fiddling with the font about fifteen years ago but kept putting it aside—which makes this something of a momentous occasion. Simulate centuries-old documents with a full complement of OpenType features.

Lydia novel

Novel Development
Emily Austin™ figures prominently on the cover of Lydia, a novel published in March by Three Islands Press and written, in fact, by me (Brian Willson)—which probably explains why the protagonist is a type designer who specializes in historical penmanship fonts. The book tells the story of Ed Austin, whose life becomes complicated about the time he aquires box of forgotten letters written by a despondent farm wife in 1829. When he moves into her abandoned homestead, he's visited by Lydia Starbird herself—and begins to question everything. Is she a ghost? A time traveler? Or the invention of a yearning soul? (More information is available here.)
