    I cannot get enough fonts (and alphas, too for that matter). Today's TLP post highlights a few of my faves and a really cool action I've used forever by our very own Valorie Wibbens.

    What's your favorite go-to font?

    I have too many to list, literally.... and apparently too many for CS5 too, because it's taking forever when I click the alpha tool. LOL!!!

    Another great post! I always love seeing new fonts. I couldn't possible pick a favorite font, but I use Heather Joyce's Valeria font quite a lot and also all of her typewriter fonts too.

    Some of those are my favorite fonts too. I have been using The Short Caps a lot lately. I tend to go in trends and use the same font on every. single. page. and then pick a new one!

    Great post!

    I have quite a few as well (don't we all :s) but I mostly use The Dirty Dame font by Heather Hess & Valorie Wibbens, it's by far my go to font. I am also a big fan of Bebas Neue, Miserably Loose, Arsenal White, Silverfake, Antrokas, Corki and Kraft Nine

    I really need to stop adding fonts. It's getting out of control. But I can't resist. I just got Heather's Mrs. Higginbothom. Love it plus I'm a sucker for fonts with quirky names.

    for those of you who are Art Journalers or lijke a bit of grunge, there is this guy:

    the first fonts listed are paid, but look underneath it there is Freeware...
    he has some weird font names, but gorgeous actual fonts :)

    forgot the one best latest discovery:

    Mirjam (Pink Reptile) made with Heather...the bundle is awesome and you can combine them to dp journal/tittles!!!!

    I like typewriter fonts the best. I'll use others but the majority of the time I'll use one of my typewriter fonts. Right now I'm loving "The Contessa".

    Wow! I just went to misprinted type 4.0 and his stuff is really cool! Thanks Cynthia!!
    I love type writer fonts, too. I have a bunch!
    I love CK Script - I am really into script fonts...
    I also love the Pea handwriting fonts from Kevin and Amanda. Right now I'm using Pea Ellie Bellie a lot. But there are tons of great ones.
    I absolutely love fonts, alphas and cool handwriting/lettering. I use the former because I can't do the latter so well. LOL
