Scriptorium Fonts was a type foundry based in Austin, Texas founded in 1992 by game designer, editor and historian Dave Nalle. The type foundry had three other type designers on staff: Michael Scarpitti, Peter Nevins and Kevin Andrew Murphy.

In 2005, Scriptorium Fonts supported the fundraising efforts for Hurricane Katrina relief by selling three New Orleans-themed fonts (Guede, Ironworks and Veve) to three different Louisiana charities. Recently their fonts have been prominently featured in the Spiderwick books and film.
