Tanglewood Tales NF
Classic old-style serif with a timeless storybook feel
Tanglewood Tales NF is a well-balanced old-style serif from Nick's Fonts, with the kind of even, classic proportions you would expect from a printed storybook or literary anthology. The name nods to Nathaniel Hawthorne's own "Tanglewood Tales," a 19th-century retelling of Greek myths for young readers, and the font's calm, traditional letterforms suit that same kind of timeless, literary material.
It is a strong choice for fairy tale and mythology book covers, library displays, chapter headings, or any project that wants a classic, trustworthy serif rather than a flashy display face. Because the letterforms stay clean and readable at smaller sizes too, it also works well set as running body text for a full short story or children's book layout.
For a title page, try pairing it with a more decorative or hand-lettered display font for the main title, and let Tanglewood Tales NF carry the byline and body copy.
