Marseille Tarot is a new font based on the 16th century Italian Tarot deck
known as the Tarot of Marseille. Each character is an image of one of the
Major Arcana cards from this classic Tarot deck. The is available as
shareware in TrueType format for both Windows and the MacOS.
A lot of work went into developing the font characters from the source
images and keeping the final versions true to the originals. The
resulting characters are considerably more complex than the characters in
most other fonts, on a level with our most complex decorative initials
fonts. We think you'll find the results worth the effort, because the
final character images are pretty impressive.
The font includes the 22 major arcana cards from the Marseille Tarot with
all the details of the images preserved pretty faithfully. If you have
mystical inclinations or just like the idea of a font based on Renaissance
period art, give it a try.
To download the shareware version go to:
