I Have a Minor Obsession…

September 16th, 2010 @ 5:38 pm by Mrs. Knitting

…with fonts. Who knew? I just spent the last half hour (okay more like hour and a half!) going through most of dafont.com and I am now officially font obsessed. Look how fun some of these are:

I love this one quite a bit because of the fact that it looks so vintage and elegant, but isn’t too formal. It’s a bit tricky to read a lot of it altogether, but it’s definitely going to show up in one of our smaller paper projects for the wedding:

I may have gotten slightly ridiculously excited when I found out that various typewriter fonts exist. We’ll be using this one for our menus:

This one wouldn’t work for our wedding, but I love it and now want to host an Art Nouveau themed party so I can have a chance to use it:

Another pretty script I like:

There were also lots of Christmas fonts that I thought were a lot of fun, although I did pass on the one made of candy canes!

These are really a tiny of selection of all the fonts I spent this evening drooling over (I’m very productive when I’m not at yoga class!). When you’re a bit of a DIY dummy with bad handwriting, being able to make something pretty with a click of a button is ridiculously exciting!

What’s your favourite font?

PS- I really like the Riesling font by the way. I think it would be good for table numbers/names.

Choosing a favorite font is like picking a favorite child! Cannot wait to get deep into font selection. The scripts you found are beautiful and unique!

I’m using Traveling Typewriter and Popstar Autograph a lot. I also am using a ton of dingbats for various things, including our map.
