"Handmade" map

[Noon]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Well, this was not really the desired effect, but I admit that I am often too strict with my work.
For me, making a map is like making a drawing or painting, I want to do something harmonious.
In this case, I find that some elements do not go well together, as blunders.

If I may suggest, do your calligraphy on a seperate sheet, scan it in the same fashion as you did your map, and use Gimp to comp the labels onto the map. You get the appearance of hand lettering and a lot of the flexibility of computer-generated labels.

It's an excellent suggestion, thank you very much (Gimp is still very obscure to me.)
