Font-tastic Fun on a Friday!

Happy Friday, all! Doralisa here, and I am so excited about being able to write this for a Friday post, mainly because I'm a word geek. I just love the alliteration of all those "Fs," lol! This is what happens to English majors - we get so excited about words sometimes. :)

Anyway, it's time for another installation of font fun! I hope you enjoyed last month's dive into the font pool. I've uncovered a few more this month that I'd love to share.

A great font to use for titles is ChunkFive. Not only is the name of it fun, the chunky letters work wonderfully for titles or short words that you can enlarge on journal cards!

This next font is similar to ChunkFive, but the letters have a "humorous" look, if letters can look funny. :) Take a look at Serifa Comica!

Another fun font you can use for titles is Risque! Luckily the font isn't as risque as the name implies!

For handwritten fonts, I picked up a cool new one this week - PW 01 Script. Not such an interesting name for a font, but I love the way it looks!

Or how about this super easy-to-read handwritten font called Can't Change the World? It reminds me of how carefully I tried to write my letters in grade school.

If you want something in-between a script and a printed handwritten font, Jinky just might fill the bill!

Now fonts can be used for more than just journaling or titles. When you use a decorative font, you can use them to make some very unique elements for your pages. For instance, check out Symbol Signs. You can use these to create a piece of flair, enlarge them for a journal card, or even use the male or female signs as a big element.

I thought Runeicity Decorative would be great for use in creating your own background paper. Just type up a bunch of the characters, space them out, enlarge them a little, and you have a creative background!

Or, for those of you who are headed to one of the Disney theme parks, you can even make your own Mickey paper or journaling cards using this dingbat font - Mickey M TFB!

Remember, fonts are fun! Use them for journaling or titles - or use a decorative font just to make your page your own!

Font-tastic Fun

Hi, all! Doralisa here, popping in today to talk about fonts!

I've always been a fan of fonts. I have a huge backload of fonts that I use for scrapping and for work. Fortunately, they are not all installed on my computer, or I'd have a big problem. :)  Let me share some favorites. (Please note that not all of these fonts are free for personal use.)

In scrapbooking, I journal on almost every page I do, whether it is traditional paper or digital. For traditional pages, I try to use my own handwriting, but when I have too much to write or want to make sure I can fit my story on my layout, I type up my journaling. Sometimes, I like my journaling to look like I hand-wrote it, so I have a few favorites in my pocket.

My newest handwritten favorite is Amber's Niki font! I love that it's easy to read and has lots of personality.

One of my old stand-by fonts for journaling is Shelter Me. I've used this font on a lot of layouts!

If you're looking for a little more of a masculine handwritten font (to tell his point of view), try Amber's My Guys.

Sometimes, though I need a little heavier font for my journaling to make it stand out a little, especially if I have a lot going on the page. One of my recent findings is Pacifico. I think it's a great font for a little bit of journaling, but it can also work for titles too!

Speaking of titles, I have a few faves for those too! First, there's Very Damaged, a grungy font that works great on art journal pages.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Bebas Neue is a very clean font that is easy to read. Note that the letters are only upper case.

I also have one typewriter font that I tend to use regularly - Traveling Typewriter.

Script fonts for titles can sometimes be hard to find, especially if you're looking for something that will work on wedding or heritage pages. I love these (images are linked):

Masterics

CAC Champagne

Euphoria Script

I could go on and on about fonts, but then this would be a really long post - ha! So check these out for now, and I'll be back again soon for another installment of Font-tastic Fun! Have a great rest of the week!
