Fontalicious

Once I figured out how to download a font it became time for Mr.D and I to choose a font to address the invites with. Here are the fontalicious contenders, I made the last names the names of the fonts in case you’re wondering which ones they are.

We could really use your help on this decision, but there are 2 key points to consider.

  1. Is it readable? Post codes are very important (esp in the UK) and we need to make sure they can be delivered.  For example, in the Snell Roundhand font the post code is LA5 9QQ…those don’t look like Q’s to me…
  2. Will I be able to trace it? I’m not the kind of girl who loooooves paper goods.  I see them, and appreciate their aesthetic – but really I just don’t want to use labels and I can’t just print on the envelopes (they’re a dark chocolate brown).

Essentially, will I be able to trace the font without developing the desire to strangle anything?

First up – Adine Kirnberg and English (please ignore the cursor by the zip code *doh!*)

Next is Chopin and Ecolier

We also tried Snell Roundhand and Edwardian Script

Last but not least -Savoey LET

Here are the font choices for you to vote on:

Adine Kleinberg

English

Chopin

Ecolier

Snell Roundhand

Edwardian Script

Savoey

Other font – please say in the comments

Thanks for your help hive!

    This is a tough decision! Before I weigh in on any one in particular, could a script that you like but isn’t wholly usable (like the Roundhand) be tweaked slightly (assuming it has only a few unusable quirks, like just ‘Q’s, perhaps) to useable?

    I think Edwardian and Chopin both rank high in the “stress inducing” category. The others all seem more manageable, but each with a distinct personality!

    Helpful, right? :)

    My favorite by far is English. I also like Savoey but it doesn’t seem formal enough. English is pretty, unique, yet simple. And definitely manageable to trace!

    Aesthetic wise I like Chopin, but I don’t think it would make me want to vomit if I had to trace it. I think Savoey would be easiest to trace.
