Font Fun
Submerged is an appropriate name for the styling of this font. It would be great to bring this font into Photoshop and put some different colors to the reverse text.
I picked this font simply because it has “Chocolate” in its title.
On its face, it isn’t that impressive. Blase serifs, flourishes on the uppercase letters, and uniform letter widths don’t make for interesting font faces.
The uppercase letters, together, aren’t incredibly readable. The only way I’d like this font in general use is if a “K” was emblazoned in gold letters on top of a giant box of chocolate.
This utilitarian font comes from the esteemed Jason Kottke. It’s great for web buttons and graphics where you’re looking for something clean and techy.
It’s only available as uppercase letters. I admire this font for its simplicity and pixellated goodness.
Pooler has some spunk. I like how the letter heights vary, and the treatment on the lowercase f is just wild. If I had the time and creativity to make scrapbooks, this is the font I’d use for any kid-related pages.
Did you see the little star as the “hole” in the uppercase O? Too cute!
When I see this font, I think, it’s like the handwriting of a punk-emoartiste scribbling angsty poetry about how bleak and insignificant the world and life is, while sitting in a Starbucks drinking a $6 latte and wearing a $200 outfit straight out of Hot Topic.
I have no idea what MuskelBengt refers to, but it has to be one of the worst font names I’ve ever seen. It’s unfortunately paired with what I consider a superior font: blocky and funky. Just take a look at the lowercase “g”- brilliant! It would work nicely for stickers and posters. As a negative against the font, it doesn’t come with numbers. That limits the potential of this otherwise useful font.
Doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo DOO!, doo doo doo doo doo.
Hum along with the Jeopardy theme song as you read about this font.
I was watching that most excellent of game shows the other night and kept thinking, “Damn, I need to get on that show. I am getting every single question correct! Sign me up, Alex, I’ll show y’all how it’s done!”
Then I realized it was the teen tournament, and I felt a little less sure of myself.
Precise lines, with precise squiggles, this font would find a nice home in a children’s book with some warped and twisted storyline about things that go bump in the night. Reading anything in this font would leave me feeling vaguely unsettled, like I left the stove on or I lost my car keys.
I don’t want to like this font, but I do. The curly serifs make it look childish, but whimsical. I like how each of the letters seems to have a similar width and even heights. Not much else to say about it.
This font looks like something out of a horror movie. If I were to create a book cover for the book I’m writing in my head, Scary Moments in Parenting, this is the font I’d use.
I wish my own handwriting was like this. Fluid. Flowery. Flowing.
Instead, mine is more scribbly. Scrawling. Scrappy.
As this historic week has brought a needed end to 8 years of reign by Mr. George W. Bush, I thought the Texas Funeral font provides a nice metaphor.
This is the font that I imagine appears in the thought bubbles over his head, spelling out sentences like “What country do we have to invade, again?” and “Oil companies need more of the $$$$.”
I do like this font, as I could see it used in web graphics. I’d love to see it in print, like in a calendar, too.
I wish my handwriting was spectacular. I love the understated strokes, the confinement of the letters, and the controlled way in which they take up space on the page/screen.
And the numbers? All kinds of awesome. How cool is it to use hash marks to represent the 1-2-3s?
What a fun, funky font. It’s got some graffiti flair to it, and I am in love with that lower-case t. This is a font where the miniscule and majuscule are the same.
The Cutting Corners font looks like someone took scissors to make letters out of felt. I love it.
I love how the upper and lower case letters have the same relative height. This font would be one of many good for use on children’s products, signs for schools, etc.
I don’t think this font name accurately reflects the font. The spacing is too even, the lines, too predictable. When I feel lethargic, I am one hot mess sprawled on the couch with a candy bar in one hand, dirty dishes in the sink and laundry, piled as far as one can see. That’s not the feeling I get when I see this font. I think of letters etched into metal – in fact, wouldn’t MetalEtch make a cool font name?
The Seventy font looks like a frail, delicate creature – one with wacky serifs and a hint of blockiness.
I think this font would make for a good choice for a formal invitation or save the date card. It’s one that’s going into my “go to” fonts file. Yes, I actually have a folder called “fonts to use” and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.
I love the angles and unevenness of this font.
This would be great for a poster or other sort of titling. I’d love to use it in a multimedia presentation – something to give a little bit of casual flavor to something that you would expect more formality in.
This has a very ’60s flavor to it. I think the font would be enhanced by some color – psychedelic color in gradations of orange and green, spelling out something like “Make Love Not War” or “I wish I hadn’t eaten those ’shrooms.”
Look at the Q! And the X! Gosh, I love the Y, too.
