Some really great suggestion here. Thanks everyone.

I suppose Emigre’s Mason (http://www.emigre.com/EF.php?fid=104) could be added to this list. Nice redesign @ Emigre.com BTW.

We have a searchword in our database: “Eventyr”
(= “Adventure” in norwegian - hey, it’s a norwegian site, OK? ;-)

http://www.luth.no/default.asp?Searchstring=Eventyr&side=fontprisliste

The hits covers fonts with an “otherworldy feel” as well as “faux” foreign languages...
I particularly like “Elf” from Elsner+Flake.

James Grieshaber — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 06:13:05 -0700

I designed Yule to be purposely vague. It is a mélange of ancient inscriptional writing, with visual references to Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, medieval and even a bit of ancient Greek and roman letterforms. It is an all caps font, so there are alternates for every letter in the lowercase position, plus there are a number of alternate letter forms and ligatures hidden in the font. The heavy weight has an admittadly Neuland feel, which might also work well for you.

Or maybe Numismatic. Same deal—all UC with alt lc and hidden ligas & alts. But this one may be a bit too Harry Potter.

Typefaces that evoke Myth & Legend

timfm — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:37:27 -0700

I’m thinking Harry Potter, Tolkien, but not necessarily limited to Celtic style. Possibly more indigenous, tribal, indo feel as well. Still need more info from client, but looking to get a short list together to clarify what’s in their mind’s eye.

Cheers,
