Terra Ignota font
Terra Ignota Opentype

Terra Ignota™

The idea for Terra Ignota came to me years ago as I was admiring a reproduction of "Amerique Septentrionale," a 1650 map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson, given to me by my parents. The handlettering has a sort of rakish character, evocative of pirates or adventurers at a time of unbridled world exploration. I ended up putting the project aside, but the idea to create this font tugged gently at my mind until I simply couldn't ignore it any longer. I'd originally intended to call it "Terra Incognita," but during my dilly-dalliance another font turned up with that name, so Terra Ignota it is. It's got an italic slant and a deliberate feel, in keeping with its historical roots. Useful for simulating old hand-lettered documents. Has a full character set (and then some).* US$39. | Order  historical map font
