Who really loves fonts?
« on: June 16, 2013, 08:06:53 PM »
I love fonts. I wish to share and express this love with others.

I would also like a recommendation on a font that is legible at small sizes that looks like it came out of a naturalist's notebook, but I can probably find that myself so it's not a huge priority.

Fun fact: nearly anything meant to express me will be in Segoe Print, generally bold, preferably cerulean-teal. It's a font/color I used on a chatroom for a few years, and it's comforting in a way. It also looks a bit handwritingy without being too illegible.

I will only write documents and everything else in Georgia. Arial and Times New Roman look weird to me.

I love fonts too.  One of my most favorite classes I had in college was my typography class.    To me they really are works of art.  One of my Pinterest boards is dedicated to fonts.

I want to take one of those one day! To be able to design my own sounds *wonderful*.

Oh god I love fonts so much. I'm not as obsessed as I was a few years back (I'd check dafont's newest daily) but I'm still so totally in love with them. Literally every time I go on dafont I leave with 20-50 new fonts, sometimes much more (thanks for the link I can't not click, hahaha). Everywhere I go I look at the fonts. They're a huge deciding factor in purchases, and even whether or not I'll give something a chance (mostly books and movies but if a font is bad enough I'll hate anything over it).

I love fonts! I'm trying to broaden my font horizons since I do graphics on commission. I'd like any recommendations for good fonts!

Though cursive fonts are my kryptonite. I can't read cursive.

where do you go already for fonts? Of course, if I'm making anything to sell I usually just see if blambot has something good because I understand their licensing agreement (baby's first font purchase was there) and they've got a good variety.

What's everyone else's font count like?

My download spree of 133 just now bumped me up to 669 fonts.

I was in the 700s once, but then they wouldn't all load anymore so now I keep it down to  what I need to use for each project and hope I don't overload. I have a bunch saved for when their day comes.

*checks* 156 on this computer. And my most used actual font is gotham.

I don't remember how many I had on my old computer, but it got to the point where I couldn't download more. That was a very sad day.

I go to Dafont for my requests/fake money commissions, haven't gotten any real money commissions for graphics yet unfortunately.
