Terra Ignota FONT Download

Terra Ignota was designed by Brian Willson and published by Three Islands Press. Terra Ignota contains 1 style.  

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. The resulting typeface has 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).
