Author's note

StateFace, credited to ProPublica of USGS, is a free geographic symbol font built around silhouettes of US states. Its shapes retain recognizable coastlines, borders, and regional outlines, including the small projections and uneven edges that distinguish one state from another. The collection has the crisp, solid look of cut-paper map pieces.

In editorial graphics, these symbols can identify locations in election coverage, demographic reports, or regional news, while travel merchandise can use the same familiar contours as decorative emblems. The direct map imagery links data publishing and souvenir design, giving both fields an immediate visual reference to American places and regions.
