    I'll have to agree with everyone else, i think indeed that the font is a bit hard to read (I'm thirteen).

    Btw; Did you use Carson Mansion as a reference for The Rosemount?

    I don't know, I kind of like the cursive flavor of Bickham Script Pro. The weight and line quality seemed to flow well with the map's inks. I actually looked at Goudy but it felt too stiff inside the scrolls. Readability for the audience is definitely something to think about though.

    Good eye! I looked at Carson Mansion to develop the overall feel of Rosemount Manor. I modified the layout and simplified the shapes to fit, but the Carson was definitely an inspiration.
