  1. Müller: A Free 18th Century Cartography Brush Set for Fantasy Maps

    In the early 18th century, Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI charged Johann Christoph Müller to produce an “authentic and complete” map of the kingdom of Bohemia. Being no slouch, Müller’s end result was a massive work, done at a 1:132,000 scale and eventually engraved on twenty-five sheets by Michael Kauffer and Jan Daniel Herz, most likely in Berlin. It is from that map that we get today’s set, and what a phenomenal set it is—and, uh… it’s much bigger than I planned.

    Some of the flora, symbols, and lakes within the set.

    The level of detail in this work is impressive. It reminds me somewhat of the Vischer set, especially in how elements of flora are incorporated into the landforms. The flora itself is rendered with restraint in either groups of tiny rendered trees, or a stippled scrub brush, which I labeled “wilds.” They play well off each other and work together to fill out the map. It’s easy to quickly create sprawling forests or empty plains. Within the Emperor’s request, there was a goal to map “relevant military information.” To that end, Müller mapped industrial points of interest, highlighting the locations of raw materials, ranging from metals to mineral water, and the workshops and mills that processed them. He also provided details for travel, marking the locations of warm baths, inns, mail stops, and river ferries.

    A sample of the settlements you’ll find in Müller

    If you’ve used my sets before, you’ll be familiar with many of the imagery choices depicting the various sizes of towns, though again Müller adds his own unique spin. Manor Houses reprise the role of the Schlosser from the Vischer set. Only Müller significantly simplifies these, and they serve as a catchall, representing anything from “castles, lordly palaces, and knights’ residences.”

    The key to the original map in Latin (left) and German (right).

    The extended villages were another unique approach I haven’t seen on a map from this era before. Obviously, a town or village isn’t always contained in a small bubble, especially on a map rendered at 1:132,000—one mile is 0.48 inches (or for those not beholden to the king, one kilometer here is 7.58 millimeters). To solve for this, Müller approaches communities two-fold: one is the single dot for “solitary villages,” the second adds more dots around named settlements that represent scattered or extended “rustic” settlements. Think of an extended settlement as a small town with the lone parish church and lots of farms in the area surrounding it, or similarly a village running along the length of a stream or small river. That’s what he was going for here.

    Some of the landforms found in Müller

    This was a really fun set to build, and there was so much to explore on each of the separate sheets. It’s no wonder this was the definitive map of Bohemia for nearly forty years. (Eventually superseded by the Josephinian Survey.) Funny enough, this is now my second biggest set, surpassing Moronobu Gansai by over four hundred brushes*. Within the might of Müller, you’ll find over 1500 brushes, including:

    • 100 Walled Cities
    • 25 Cities without Walls
    • 100 Market Towns

    *Look, they aren’t all going to be this big. Making sets this big is an enormous time investment in production and distribution. The tale just grew in the telling, I guess. Enjoy it. :)

    The button below links to a ZIP file that contains an 27 MB Photoshop ABR brush set (it’ll also work with GIMPAffinity Photo, and I’m told Procreate now). I also release the set as a pack of individual PNGs organized by folder, similar to how I organize the ABR file. This should make using these with tools like Wonderdraft much easier. No more extracting symbols from an enormous PNG.

    Kauffer Hand: A Free 18th Ct. Type Family

    Alongside the launch of Müller, I’m excited to announce the launch of my second totally free typeface: Kauffer Hand. This font is extracted from the same map as the Müller brush set and is named after one of the engravers who published the map in 1726.

    This typeface is a bit cleaner than Myer Scratch, but it could still use some softening to help it feel as realistic as possible. When pulling from these historical documents, not every glyph is accounted for—J, Q, and q in the base Hand style, X and Y in Italics style, and the Q in the Title style, were reconstructed from other documents labeled with a similar style to fill out the alphabet and maintain a consistent tone with the typeface. (If you want an even more polished version in a similar style, check out Three Isle Press’s Geographica family.)

    The Kauffer Hand’s Character Set.

    The three variant styles can be used in multiple ways to label your projects. Müller used Italics for smaller settlements and Hand for larger ones. You can see how I even do an all-caps Hand for the titles of the largest settlements in my example map below. Title was used for bigger labels or for the map’s title. Lots of options with this one, experiment and find a way to make it your own.

    Kauffer Hand has three variants: Hand, Italic, and Title.

    The button below links to a ZIP file that contains the Kauffer Hand family’s OFT files. Just install the font the way you would any other. Like my brush sets, Kauffer Hand is free and distributed with a Creative Commons, No Rights Reserved License (CC0), which means you can freely use it in personal or commercial work and distribute adaptations. No attribution is required.

    Sample Details: I hand-drew the rivers and some of the lakes in Photoshop. Roads and trails were done in Illustrator. The font is Kauffer Hand, which can be downloaded above. All the names come from locations and surnames from the enclave of Lesotho. (A fascinating place that has been in the news recently. It’s worth checking them out.) The paper texture is from True Grit Texture Supply’s Infinite Pulp, and they’re also where I got Atomica, which gives me ink-like effects for the text, colors, the roads, and trails. The title frame comes from my Fancy Frames set, which can be downloaded from the Decorative Assets page.

  7. Müller diskutiert in ihrem Aufsatz die Frage nach dem Geschlecht Gottes aus islamischer Perspektive.

    Sie zeigt auf, dass zwar die Mehrheit der Muslime davon ausgeht, dass Gott kein Geschlecht hat, dennoch häufig eine männliche Konnotation mitschwingt. Zur Rechtfertigung würden etwa bestimmte Übersetzungsvarianten der Schöpfungsgeschichte herangezogen, die eine Vorrangstellung des Männlichen suggerieren. Dem hält Müller entgegen, dass im Koran viele Eigenschaften Gottes wie Barmherzigkeit oder Fürsorge keinem Geschlecht zugeordnet sind. Auch die 99 Namen Gottes enthielten keine Hinweise auf Männlichkeit oder Weiblichkeit.

    Weiter arbeitet Müller heraus, dass zentrale Koranverse für die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter in Schöpfung und Eschatologie sprechen. Die Beschränkung des Prophetentums auf Männer lasse sich textlich nicht belegen. Insgesamt werde das Geschlecht Gottes vom Koran offengelassen. Wie Müller pointiert festhält: „Das Geschlecht ist dem Wesen Gottes äußerlich und belanglos.“ Vielmehr sollten geschlechtliche Projektionen reflektiert werden.
