1805 Jaeck Map is a historical typeface household. This typeface has two styles and was published by GLC Foundry.

This font style is generally inspired from the personalized characters of a German Map portraying Germany's roads and parts of surrounding lands, edited in Berlin probably in the end of 1700's. The engraver was Carl Jäck or Jaek (1763-1808). The Map was baught by the French napoleonic basic Louis Pierre Delosme (1768-1828) probably throughout the Napolenic campaign against Germany, circa 1805 or at least 1806, his sole staying in Germany.

The font style (with two styles, Normal and Italic) is consisting of basic ligatures and a few alternative characters. It is a "little eye" or "Small x-eight" font style, as the Maps' characters are frequently extremely small (some Italic lower cases of the map are 1mm hight, upper cases 2mm)

The standard English characters set is completed with accented or particular characters for Western( Consisting Of Celtic) and Central European, Baltic, Eastern Europe and Turkish languages.
