In 1990 I created the font XLeafMeAlone. In 2006 I decided that it was time to improve it. Instead of contributing to it, I created 2 brand-new fonts including practically 200 leaves: MapleOaks and More Leaves. Amongst the leaves you will find in MoreLeaves are elm, cottonwood, tulip tree, ash, hickory, locust, ginko, aspen, sassafras, hawthorn, beech, and birch. There are also a few that come from shrubs and I am uncertain what they are, however they looked interesting so I put them in. You will not discover oaks, maples, or sycamores—— they are in MapleOaks.
Why leaves? Due to the fact that people like them. As a large part of the biological world that is all around us, leaves are interesting in their shapes and endless variations. In XLeafMeAlone I took about 50 shapes and rotated them 180 degrees to provide a typeface with approximately 100 glyphs. In each of these 2 typefaces, MoreLeaves and MapleOaks, there are almost 100 glyphs. Each of those glyphs is rotated in 90-degree increments to yield two households of four typefaces that must be very beneficial if one wishes to develop borders of leaves.
