fonts of places


It would be fun if each city and state had an official font. Here’s some fonts named after places. Some make sense like San Marco and Parisian. But like Chicago and New York make no sense. Apparently the fonts of New York, Chicago and Geneva were meant to be named after San Francisco towns.

Can anyone think of any more fonts that are named after a place?

I have a font in my Microsoft Word, called “Park Avenue.” I feel so left out… there isn’t a font named after my city! 🙁

I really can’t believe that somewhere, there’s a site that tells the history of a font. But you found it.

There are a few that come close like Algerian or Americo. Baskerton? Berliner? Vienese?

Here are a few I know for sure:
Boston
Buckingham
Bordeaux
Gettysburg
Gibraltar
Oxford
Romulus
Westminster
