Fablehand

A Hand-Written Font for Fantasy Map Builders

$15

Fablehand draws from the artistry of medieval cartography and the flowing strokes of an oriental brush pen. Offering a hand-drawn style that lends an authentic touch to your fantasy maps. This font was designed by Fred Kroner to deliver a script that feels like it came from the pen of a map-maker while prioritizing readability. Too often, “fantasy” style fonts are impractical and difficult to read, particularly on a small scale. But Fablehand is a great option not only for adding labels to a map but writing entire paragraphs to describe a story or setting.

Designed with creative flexibility in mind, this script also includes a comprehensive set of alternate multilingual characters to reflect the languages of your world. In essence, Fablehand bridges the gap between the classic medieval style of a bygone era and innovation, offering a versatile tool for modern map makers to evoke the charm and nostalgia of ancient cartography in their creations.
