Shasta,

Finding a good name in a font is like naming a child. You should see the documentary, Helvetica, it’ll open your eyes to the world of type.

Fonts available for purchase are just downloads that load straight to your computer. If you’re not familiar with installing a font, it’s super easy! You’ll need to unzip the file (double click), then double click on the .TTF or .OTF file and follow the prompts on your computer screen.

Huh…I am so confused. These things have names? I thought those were just words they typed with the style, huh…still amazed. And you can buy them? I still don’t get it, how do I buy them? Is it a disc? Who would’ve thunk it )

We used papayrus for our wedding ‘stuff’. Didn’t use a professional service – my hubby is a whizz at anything computer orientated. I like chalkboard for labels for my boys ‘stuff’ and I say stuff because to even begin classifying would be way too much to think about before our move…..it works well for clear and simple messages for them!
Quicksand is a new name to me and I love it. Must file that one in my memory. I like the clean and simple yet elegant look too. I don’t think I do enough writing to justify the expense of paying for beautiful script, but thank you for opening my eyes to what is available!

I had a boss several years ago that insisted on Book Antiqua and I have to admit I am sold. Forget Times New Roman – Book Antiqua has a bit more classy look for mailed letters and print. Simple, but that’s me!

A year ago I would have been all over the fancy fonts, but these days I am leaning towards the likes of the Quicksand….but the Galpha Thin….hmmm I like that one a lot too. Decisions.
Awesome list Melissa!
