Almost 15 years ago I designed the font XLeafMeAlone. Last year I decided that it was time to improve it. Instead of adding to it, I created two new fonts containing almost 200 leaves: MapleOaks and More Leaves. Among the leaves you will find in MoreLeaves are elm, cottonwood, tulip tree, ash, hickory, locust, ginko, aspen, sassafrass, hawthorn, beech, and birch. There are also a few that come from shrubs and I am not sure what they are, but they looked interesting so I put them in. You will not find oaks, maples, or sycamores--they are in MapleOaks.

XLeafMeAlone is a collection of leaf silhouettes from common Indiana trees based on actual leaves. Various leaves, selected for their good looks not their intelligence, were scanned and hand-traced. Some species, such as some oaks, are over-represented because they are more picturesque than others, such as apple or peach. LeafMeAlone was featured in the “Type Drawer” column of Personal Publishing (later renamed Business Publishing--I do not know if it still exists) in November of 1990.

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.

The general idea is based on the oldest Russian legends. Many different mythical creatures were inhabiting in the dense forest: wood-goblins, kikimoras, wild boars. Robber Nightingale was giving many troubles to people, he was hindering travelers to going though the forest, he was foraying towns and villages. Dragon Gorynich having three heads was bossing all this ugly show.
