Cumberland Custom (Fonts by You)

I offer custom font building services with an emphasis on the needs of Game Masters. If you've got a fantasy alphabet or set of map symbols you'd love to have in font form, you've come to the right page. All you need to do is draw your font, and send the drawing to me. Your custom font can be any one of these types:

All-Caps letterfonts (including celtic calligraphy, illuminated letters, and any other letterform where the characters are of equal height). Inverted-caps and mirrored-caps fonts are also available.
Dingbat fonts (fonts containing black-and-white drawings to be used as easily-accessible clipart in documents, or in graphic design).
Runes and Arcane Symbol fonts: Fantasy runes, alien alphabets, occult symbols and more.
Mapping Fonts: Hand-drawn symbols for mountains, trees, chairs, barrels, houses - anything you can imagine.

Working from your drawings on a simple template I'll provide (email me requesting a template before you begin), I'll create a font in Windows TrueType format (also useable in Mac OSX and most versions of Linux), for just $2 per glyph (minimum $20 - licensed for private, non-commercial use). You can use the template to draw the glyphs by hand, or on your computer - whichever you prefer. You can deliver the images electronically or via standard post. I'll provide all the instructions you need. For examples of fonts I've built, visit the Fontworks.

The Six-Dollar Font

If you'd like a font containing a single glyph - your signature, for example, or a company logo - I can build it for just $7. Signature fonts are very handy for "signed" faxes via modem, and for adding a personal touch to printed correspondence. Contact me for instructions.

Advanced Commissions

I enjoy taking on challenging font comissions, and I can build much more complex fonts than the simple template method allows for. My rates for full-service font building range from $200 to $7,500 per font, depending on the scope of the project and how quickly the work must be done. I'm not always available for advanced fontwork, but feel free to inquire.
