My computer crashed last month and I lost everything on it I am in the process of setting up a new one at last but I need your help! What scrapbooking fonts should I really look for to get started again? Which ones are your favorites?
Dealerplate California, Traveling Typewriter and Portable Remington are the ones I use for journaling. For titles I use so many, can't recall any names right now, and I'm out of town. But I always add what fonts I use in my credits, if you want to waste your time browsing my gallery.
I'm a big fan of Darcy Baldwin Fonts & Fonts for Peas. In terms of typewriter fonts my two most used are Traveling Typewriter or Linowrite Yes for any specific fonts especially from February 2023 they should be listed in my credits - 99% of them will come from one of the above sources though.
Nearly all my favourites are Heather Joyce's fonts. She sells here at the Lilypad, and all fonts are 30% off this week as part of the Summer School Sale. fonts in Heather's store: https://the-lilypad.com/store/Heather-Joyce/?catid=170 Heather's gallery where you can see her fonts in use (yes a lot of those pages are mine, but not all of them ) https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/categories/heather-joyce.582/
My two favorites for journaling are The Skinniness and The Mary Kate by Heather Joyce, but I have tons of her other ones that I mix in here and there. The Maribel ( @Mrivas is that yours?) and The Anne by Heather Joyce are other favorites. I also love the Traveling Typewriter and use that one a ton on my monthly review pocket pages.
I love Special Elite and Thirsty Script. https://www.dafont.com/thirsty-script.font https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/special-elite
@Karen OMG! It may be, it was such a long time ago but I do remember her making my font. Can’t find it in the shop though.
So many fonts, so little time!... I am a total fontaholic, have way too many fonts from which to choose. But a few of my standbys are Special Elite, Bebas Neue, Noto Serif & Sans, and Century Schoolbook
Fellow fontaholic here too....think at last count I have over 800 and probably truly use about 20 regularly.
I forgot about those. I was so addicted at one time, collecting, saving ones that came with each new operating system, what came with software purchased, like publisher. I did buy the ins/outs by heather, but never unzipped, only new gotten for years are ones used in templates. Pet prev, wish the template noted what ones, be free or ones from heather.
Heather Joyce sure has some lovely fonts, but I've never got any, since they don't have the Scandinavian letters. So many great fonts out there, that turns out basically useless for me. I do have a couple of fonts that don't have those letters, but if I use them, it's only for titles - and then I really have to chose words that don't have those letters. Here are a few of my fav's that I love to use for titles: Baby Sunshine Corn Kernels Dolica Kathy Magnolia Sky Shorelines Script Bold (don't have the Scandinavian letters but LOVE!) Another one I use, mainly for journaling is XBAND Rough. Also - I love this font - created from my own handwriting: MTF Eva's Hand
These are my favors the moment, but I love spending time looking for new fonts Tox Typewriter Very Simple Chalk Quentin Old NewspaperTypes KG When Ocean Rise Avocado Creamy Albersthal Typewriter all from DaFont.com I think
One of my absolute favorites is Baby Sunshine. Corona Typewriter 3 and Bradley Hand are also big for me. And if you are in to art journaling then For the One Hundredth Time is a must have.
Confessions of a confirmed fontaholic: though I already have way too many fonts, this thread is encouraging me to seek out still more typefaces!
Way back in the day I collected IBM Selectric typeballs, lol! They were pricey, and if you weren’t careful with them the “points” snapped off and the typeball no longer worked.
Fontaholic here as well =) My most used typewriter font is JMH Typewriter A couple of the cooler serif fonts I like to use for titles & big numbers are K22 Didoni & Abril Fatface My favorite wide script font is Halimun My favorite Script type fonts are Master Script, Corona Real Script and Holiday Party Heavitas is a nice sans serif block type font for clipping papers to. I like Alfa Slab One and Chunk 5 for serif block type fonts for paper clipping. I'm going to stop now lol Good luck building your font collection again =)
I'm a huge fan of pea kari...lol But also use veterans type writer on like 80 percent of my layouts But i also have a crap load of hand writing fonts
