Tolkien fonts
Some Tolkien-related fonts:
- Tolkienesque Regular and Tolkienesque New (scroll down on page)
- Two fonts inspired by Tolkien’s calligraphy. The Regular version “has a slightly distressed feel, with uneven edges”; the New version “remade the entire font from scratch, in order to clean up all the outlines (to remove the ‘distressed’ quality) and give it a lighter, more elegant, calligraphic look.”
- Baynes
- A font “inspired by the typography that appeared on Pauline Baynes’ classic Middle-earth maps.” My initial thought was What does this have to do with Tolkien? It’s obviously based on Pauline Baynes’s Narnia illustrations! But nope, I was wrong. I don’t know why that looked so Narnia-like to me; the lettering on her Narnia maps is different.
- Fonts related to the LotR movies
- Daniel Reeve, who created the calligraphy and maps in the movies, provides several of the fonts from the movies.
