A sharp looking, vanilla styled tileset that strives to strike a good balance between nice, attractive graphics, while avoiding the odd graphical oddities that occur with many otherwise wonderful tilesets. Give one of my tilesets a good shot. This tileset originally diverged from [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tileset_repository#Tocky Tocky's tileset], and I still use and recommend his colours, linked below. Featuring nicely rounded double lines for walls!  Fortifications allow dwarves to peer through them!  Cart tracks look like cart tracks!  Or try the solid wall option for a cleaner look, and assume dwarves are using their x-ray vision on those solid looking fortifications. Everything will be 20% cooler!

Vanilla-styled tilesets with optional racial graphics. All of my tilesets serve as a drop-in replacement for the default Dwarf Fortress graphics. Every tile means the same thing as the default graphics, but all of them have been redrawn to look aesthetically pleasing. It does not use or require DFHack, although it will work with it. I find the cumulative differences from the default graphics add a lot of polish to the game.
  
I've positioned many tiles carefully, and put a lot of thought into each one, often obsessively so.  I find the cumulative differences from the ASCII add quite a bit to the game.  I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the update log attests to that, but the result is pleasing and well-polished. This will work fine with any mods, unless the mod relies on graphic sets.
+
The racial graphics included are turned on by default: they include dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds. 20x20 versions are included if 10x10 is a little small for you. While the style is very different, I recommend trying out Duerer if you want a larger tileset than 10x10. These tilesets are meant to be installed onto a vanilla Dwarf Fortress installation. They will also work with "ASCII" mods. Do not install this over an installation with Mayday, Phoebus, Ironhand, CLA, or any other graphic set unless you know what you're doing, as the raws will need to be corrected.
  
A change of the colour scheme is highly recommended, and my favoured scheme is [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:Df_tock10_1.PNG Tocky's colour scheme], featured above. More, decidedly less brown colour schemes can be found elsewhere [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Color_scheme on the wiki].  An addition that I highly recommend is [http://df.zweistein.cz/soundsense/ Soundsense], to provide your game with some more atmosphere.

Taffer's tileset

/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
I have released a graphics set. The forum thread is here. This page exists to offer versions of the tileset for older Dwarf Fortress versions.

Vanilla-styled tilesets with optional racial graphics. All of my tilesets serve as a drop-in replacement for the default Dwarf Fortress graphics. Every tile means the same thing as the default graphics, but all of them have been redrawn to look aesthetically pleasing. It does not use or require DFHack, although it will work with it. I find the cumulative differences from the default graphics add a lot of polish to the game.

The racial graphics included are turned on by default: they include dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds. 20x20 versions are included if 10x10 is a little small for you. While the style is very different, I recommend trying out Duerer if you want a larger tileset than 10x10. These tilesets are meant to be installed onto a vanilla Dwarf Fortress installation. They will also work with "ASCII" mods. Do not install this over an installation with Mayday, Phoebus, Ironhand, CLA, or any other graphic set unless you know what you're doing, as the raws will need to be corrected.

A change of the colour scheme is highly recommended, and my favoured scheme is Tocky's colour scheme, featured above. More, decidedly less brown colour schemes can be found elsewhere on the wiki.

Many good, stout dwarves died making these tilesets. Also a few elves, and possibly a spider monkey.

Alternate version!

Nothing to see here but solid walls. Move along. How do they see through the fortifications anyways?

tl;dr

Just try the damn tileset and trust me. Tocky's colours are important too. You taffer.
