PM Tarot Antique Serif Font

A new font based on vintage tarot card hand-lettering.

The PM Tarot typeface series began as a small personal project of digitizing the hand-lettering of the Rider-Waite Tarot. But over a six-month period in 2023, it expanded to 5 unique typefaces with many style variations.

With all the typefaces in the PM Tarot series, we've stayed true to the quirkiness and unique structure of the original lettering by including hundreds of alternate characters and ligatures. Even the clean, modern versions of the typefaces in the series maintain unique variations found in the original hand-lettering that deviate from standard type classifications.

PM Tarot Antique letterforms are based on hand-lettering and the movable type used on early printing presses. These styles were often used in tarot decks dating back as far as medieval times.
