Welcome!

The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

Hi moutarde,

In that case you might like to check out Landliebe and the Decadence family before you commit to designing your own font! Not that I don't think there's a niche for more fonts in that style, especially ones with working ligatures and the old style "s".

Hi,

Just wondering if you were still working on that great antique world map (I wasn't around when the thread was active, but found it searching for "antique style"). If you were, I wanted to suggest changing the Mistral font to a more old-fashioned script font, like ALS Script or Champignon. For an even better match to the source material, you could change the capitals to Baskerville Italic -- a lot of fiddly work, but surely you're used to that!
