What are your favorite fonts?
 

Right now I like Nunito and Bad Script, though it seems I never stick to one for long xD!

What fonts do you like :f-?:

French Script, Century Gothic, Old English Text, Georgia, Imprint Shadow, and Calibri

...there are downloaded ones I like better from dafont - A Lolita Scorned, for example.

Hmm. That's a hard one.

I used to really like Bookman Old Style for serious work, and OCR-A Extended for fun. Nowadays my go-to fonts are Verdana and Tahoma when I need sans-serif, and to be honest I usually end up using Times New Roman for serif -- there's something to be said about the classics.

Usually the ones I used for old DnD adventures that I downloaded ages ago, have since lost, and now can't remember the name to find.

It varies, but I've started preferring more minimalist fonts for large work projects, like Ariel or Century Gothic. I rarely use decorative fonts now.

Call me odd
but the old papyrus font is my favorite
that and general cursives
But I have a tattoo with heretic written in papyrus font on my top chest. XD

Ever since I found Althea, I don't want any other fonts in my life. @_@

So many pretty fonts <3! I didn't know dafont existed :o

I used to use Papyrus and Bookman Old Style a lot for my book reports and school projects in middle school xD. Then everything started standardizing to Times New Roman so I stopped playing with fonts as much (now I just use fonts I like to take notes with).

...I may have to take that font from you, Suze. It's a pretty font.

My boss loves the spy agency font
As an add in XD

The more time I spend starting at my screen, the less patience I have for elaborate fonts.

I like Georgia.

Here is a list of my favourite fonts so far.

1. Alex Brush
2. Allura
3. Cedarville cursive
4. Chicken Script
5. Cookie
6. Dancing Script
7. Grand Hotel
8. Great Vibes
9. Homemade Apple
10. Italianno

They all have one thing in common too. ^_^

They're all cursive?

I like Homemade Apple's aesthetic. Though I don't use cursive fonts much because I'm not great at reading cursive ('~')

Yep! They are all cursive! I just LOVE cursive! My cursive is okay, but... I want my cursive to be like way back to George Washington. I only stopped using cursive on another site because not a lot of people liked to read cursive.

George Washington..
so like this?

Go right on ahead! Some of them, you'll have to make larger if you want to be able to read them, but I'm fine with that.

@Potironette: Yes, like that.

That'd be pretty! Sometimes I wish I knew script better to read it--especially when my teachers and classmates write in script x'D. (Though with fonts I can read it because everything is completely uniform.)

Cursive is a dying art form because the reason for cursive to even be worth using is long obsolete. Cursive became a thing because of quill pens and fountain pens, where you can't stop the ink from flowing. The invention of the ballpoint pen, where you have to put effort into making the ink come out, defeated the purpose of cursive.

Of course, handwriting as a whole is a slowly-fading art form thanks to computers; it'll always be necessary, but people increasingly don't care about it beyond the bare minimum necessary for communication.

Good thing I'm not running for president or planning to become a dictator. I'd make it law that cursive must be used when writing. Only those with writing disabilities would be exempt from the law. The only problem is that people would lie to get away with writing cursive.

Does "my cursive handwriting is illegible" count as a disability?

What reason do you have that your cursive writing is illegible?

Because due to my educational circumstances growing up, I switched from a 2nd-grade class that hadn't yet studied cursive to a 3rd-grade class that had already finished it. I got enough instruction during that class's penmanship review to be able to READ it, but I can't WRITE it -- I have to DRAW it based on my knowledge of what the letterforms are supposed to look like, which is much slower and lacks the fluidity of experience. My signature isn't even a valid representation of the letters in my name.

My non-script handwriting isn't exactly ATTRACTIVE, but it's at least readable.

To me the more ligatures, serifs and swirls the better xDD
For serious work tho, a friend of mine gave me some pretty cool adobe fonts, I used them for academic work instead of the classic times new roman/verdana.

At Gallagher: Mine too, but I prefer cursive.

@Coda: Oh, I see. Well... would you be willing to take classes if you were able to so your penmanship would be readable?

@Mdom: I agree. I want my cursive to look like cursive of old... you know... like back in George Washington time. Of course, I'd be willing to study cursive from before then too. I found my favourite fonts... I am wanting to look for more cursive fonts, though. Anyways, yeah, what fonts did you use?

I'm interested in lettering, too, but where's the focus? xD

Uhnn I think my fave was adobe caslon: https://typekit.com/fonts/adobe-caslon

I FOUND ANOTHER FONT I LiKE! Thank you, Mdom for that MARVELOUS link. ^_^

Y'all're making me want to start a handwriting/calligraphy thread. Unless we have one already?

Casion is nice, yes.

Not particularly, no. If I cared, I would have taught myself by now. There's no real win in it for me to bother taking the time to learn.

Oh, I see. Oh well.

@Espy: Go for it!

Comic Sans is one of my favorites, despite it being (apparently?) mostly disliked. Or maybe I just like my text to look humorous? I don't know XD

Yeah, I also heard comic sans is widely disliked. I see nothing wrong with the font myself.

Comic Sans is widely reviled not because it's a bad font in and of itself -- it has its uses -- but because so many people use it in places where they really shouldn't.

Oh man, comic sans. I like it but..
When I took the SAT (standardized test) last week or so, they had the instructions in comic sans and I totally did not read that until a few seconds later.

Comic sans is just hard to take seriously and easy to skim over. I'm still a little mad they used it on the SAT T_T

Well that explains it. Too much of a good thing and all that.

I do agree it shouldn't be used for serious things.

I quite like the Georgia font, although in general I think I prefer sans-serifs.

I deal a lot with fonts for my job, but tend to overlook them. Maybe I should pay attention next time I'm mentally grumbling about having to load web fonts into a CSS file.
