Use of Fonts...

Its amazing what Google can find if you just type in exactly what your looking for...say "maps with odd fonts."



This "map" I think is a great example for a map with good use of fonts. Though its not mapping locations or spatial data or whatever, I think it's clever the way the fonts sort of portray or reflect the subjects. Language is in sort of a calligraphic font. The Arts looks like someone could have just written it by hand with a marker. Technology is a more mordern, simple, cleaner cut, style font. So yeah.

This other map I got off the Strange Maps blog. I hate baseball but its another interesting way to use fonts in that each "country" is labeled with the logo font for each baseball team.
