EMMA THOMPSON in detail describes sea
monsters on the Olaus Magnus map.
One of my favorite type designers, Jeremy Dooley, has created a
typeface, "Carta Marina", based on the copy of the Olaus Magnus map at
the James Ford Bell Library, University of Minnesota.
In addition to 2 titling fonts (regular and bold weights), Dooley
created 3 "dingbat" fonts featuring dragons, animals, and people shown
on the 1539 map, plus another picture font with crest images.
To learn more about (and/or purchase) Carta Marina fonts, see
