Any font enthusiasts out there?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm definitely a font enthusiast. I can recognize dozens of typefaces on signs, books, banners, TV, or anywhere. Is anyone else a font enthusiast too? What are your favorite fonts?
I like Espinosa Nova, Fertigo Pro, and Artifika.

Do not get me started on Comic Sans MS.

Yep, that's a nice one.

I'm quite partial to a drop of Bookman and Gill Sans meself.

Not I.

The Krazy Legs font is my personal favourite.

I'm not much of a Gill Sans person, it seems awkward and disproportionate to me.
I don't love Comic Sans either, but it's hard to find another legible script font. Any ideas?
P.S. if you need some more free fonts, try FontStruct, you can get 1000's of free fonts and even make your own. My name on that site is truth14ful.

Yeah, I do keep away from the script fonts myself.

If I could, I would use Comic Sans in every post just to annoy the people who pretend like it's the worst thing in the world.

Wouldn't mind but it's used in most schools!
But anyway...I like the boring fonts, I guess they describe me the best

I like looking at various fonts, but I'm no font expert. I couldn't tell Arial from Helvetica or Sans Serif.

Yes, I am a fan of fonts, but I don't have one special favorite. I like a number of different ones. I am not fond of Times Roman and similar fonts, though. In that general type, I like Bookman, Book Antiqua, Palatino, and others much better. While Arial is a good sans font, it's kind of boring. I like a number of other sans fonts better. There are several script and print fonts I like, some calligraphy and old English fonts are nice, some type writer style fonts are nice. I am not really into the weird fonts, and seldom use them.

My favourites are Baskerville Old Face and Garamond, although I also love using the Greek and Russian alphabets purely for their visual appeal. And like some others here I tend to avoid the script fonts.

I like recognizing different fonts. When I was little I would always recognize a certain font and call it, "that writing" (I didn't know the word "font" back then). The reason I noticed this font was because it was used in a book series I really liked. Later, I found out the font was called Palatino Linotype.

I like noticing the same fonts in books, signs, etc., even if I don't know the name of the font. For example, the font on The Beer Store's logo is the same one as is used in Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Novarese Book, Gill Sans ... maybe some Arnold Boecklin ... or Helvetica and Times.

There is one thing I'd like to mention: the free fonts are crap .... most of them anyway
