Maple Oaks

In the early days of PostScript fonts, I designed a font of leaves called XLeafMeAlone. This past year I decided to revisit this topic, and the result is two sets of new leaf fonts: MapleOaks and MoreLeaves. MapleOaks contains almost 100 images of maple, oak, and sycamore leaves, and MoreLeaves has almost 100 images of leaves of various other species.

Leaves are beautiful little works of art with an endless variety of shapes. No two leaves are the same, and I found it very difficult to decide which leaves to include and which to ignore. I have tried to give a good representation of the many shapes that I found around me, and a few friends and family members helped by giving me some leaves that I did not have. I cannot identify all of the leaves that I have included, (there are four or five oaks in the black oak group, for example, that are to me indistinguishable, and that is not even considering the fact that they can hybridize), but identification was not a criteria for inclusion.

Because one use of leaves is as a border, I have take the original MapleOaks typeface and created three additional typefaces by rotating it at 90-degree increments. Hence, you can have the same leaf shape pointing up to the right, up to the left, down to the right, and down to the left.
