Mandragora" Fuente

Mandragora by David F. Nalle of Scriptorium Font Library is a free botanical dingbat font built from dark, hand-drawn silhouettes of gourds, curling vines, pointed leaves, and small blossoms. Its ornaments have the compact balance of old garden emblems.

Packaging is an especially apt medium for these decorative symbols, particularly on preserves, herbal goods, seed packets, and seasonal food labels. They also suit harvest festival posters and illustrated recipe books, since the repeated fruit, foliage, and tendrils connect each project to gardens, folklore, and autumn produce rather than generic floral decoration.
