The main font I've been using seemed too blocking for rivers. Rivers are more thin and curly so seem like they need a thinner, more curly font if that makes sense? I'm not sold on the font I did use though because it's a bit hard to read in places.
Finally I do have an update.
I'm not 100% on this style of forest either but it's the best I've managed so far.
Yup, that makes sense. Not sure how easy it would be to find two fonts that would match well together going from a block to curvy style, but I get where you're going. Maybe a moderately curvy font that you can use bold with for place names and then italics for river names? I am terrible with fonts so that's about the best suggestion I can offer.Originally Posted by QED42

Thanks, I hope it's unique in a good way! It's mostly limited to my ability, I try doing things a bunch of different ways till I find a method I can achieve that looks least terrible!
Yeah I suck at fonts too and labelling in general.
I have a little more done now, I've added in all the locations of the dwarf fortresses on the map. Duru being fort/hold in the dwarf language and Karmu being a ruined fort/hold. I also added in some more of the minor kingdoms to the South and some general labels to the East.
