Terra Ignota consists of 1 style. p > The concept for
Terra Ignota came to me years ago as I was appreciating a recreation of 'Amerique Septentrionale,' a 1650 map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson, provided to me by my parents. The handlettering has a sort of rakish character, evocative of pirates or adventurers at a time of unbridled world exploration. I wound up putting the project aside, however the concept to develop this typeface tugged gently at my mind till I simply could not disregard it any longer. The resulting typeface has an italic slant and a deliberate feel, in keeping with its historic roots. Helpful for mimicing old hand-lettered documents. Has a complete character set (and then some).
