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?

I’ve worn it with a scarf that was a gift for all employees at a previous employer, and it happens to coordinate perfectly. That’s where the other colors have come from.

I don’t like how the font scales down, or how it scales up. If I saw someone with handwriting like this, I’d think it was awesome. But this isn’t handwriting, it’s a typeface, and it just doesn’t work for me.

I have a good friend named Lauren, and I suppose if I ever had to make a poster for her, I’d look to this font first! I’d love to have a font named after me. “Kara” would be bold and stylish, would definitely not have extraneous serifs, and the K would have something cool and clever to differentiate it from all the other letters.

Another good name for this would have been “Nails on a chalkboard.” Imagine the pitted black surface of a chalkboard and clouds of white dust. That’s what this font makes me think of. The letters are built a bit wide for my liking, but I think the concept works well.

Look at the whimsical swirls on the G, J, t, 2 and 5! You think you’re dealing with a regular serif, then BAM, the font throws you a whirl. It plays with angles and curves and really is quite lovely.

OK I had to do that.

This is an all-caps font that doesn’t annoy me. It has a 1930s feel to it, yet also looks modern to me. I love the curvy, understated “S” and the laidback “J.”

This cartoonish font would find a great home in web graphic buttons or nametags. I also think it would make a great font for a company logo – a fun, cool company, not an boring, stodgy one.

It looks like it has a base in an individual’s handwriting, but it’s definitely made as a typeface. I find the upper and lower case “Ks” particularly engaging. I have two Ks in my name, and that’s the letter I generally look at first.

This isn’t a highly readable font, but I could see some good uses for it as an accent for posters or billboards. On a computer screen, it just doesn’t work that well. The font doesn’t include numbers, which is a drawback as well. The inspiration behind it though – in full color and texture – is amazing. See Chank Fonts for more.

I really like the way the numbers work
