Fonts What are your favorites????

Fonts What are your favorites????

Postby kmmhug » April 11th, 2013, 6:34 pm

Part of replacing my hard drive last week meant that all my free fonts I had downloaded are now gone. I am trying to reload some but I can not seem to remember even the names of most of my favorites so I wondered if you guys would mind sharing with me some of your favorites that are free and cut well. I need to build up a diversity of fonts again and do not want to waste space on those that do not cut well.

Oh Gosh, I am a font collector! It's a problem I have, among others. :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: Scriptina comes to mind. Now I will have to go look at my fonts.

Passions Conflict Rob is the one that Ducky uses all of the time - beautiful script and cuts well especially in vinyl. I know it has another name that is free - maybe Aquarelle?? Just guessing. If you need me to check and be sure holler. Do you want script fonts or block or what? I think a lot of us collect fonts......so then why do I fall back on the same ones over and over again??!!??

Gigi - you are right - Aquarrelle and Passion Conflict are the same.

I'm on my phone so I can't look at the names right now, but will check tomorrow...I have way too many to choose from, but tend to use the same ones over and over as well! LOL

I would like a nice selection of both kinds. I really am bummed about the fonts I lost as I had some really nice ones, but I had them in a favorites folder and have no idea there names. I thought I had backed everything up, but somehow missed the fonts so now all I have is what the computer came with. I have been over at DaFont this evening and downloading some, but I would rather get ones that other have used and cut well than a lot that I am guessing about. I know I had downloaded a lot that do not cut well and had to thin them out before. I never use printed ones so I really only need ones that cut well or write well with the pen attachment.

Thanks so much for the suggestions so far and keep them coming! :D

do you want any of the monogram ones like Royal and Annabelle? Tomorrow, when I am on my other computer, I will note the ones I really like.

Yes a couple of the nice monogram ones would be good also. Thanks so much for your willingness to help me Kim!

I thought one of my favorites was named Harrington, but I have yet to find it anywhere. Does that ring any bells with anyone? If so do you know where I might have gotten it?

To help people know what I am looking for, I tend to like elegant, swirly (tricky because so many don’t cut well), and whimsical fonts as well as just nice quirky ones. I also like ones that are thin enough to write with using the writing tool.

Kathy, I have a list of pen fonts on my blog. I'd find the page for you but I am on my iPod for the first time and don't know how. If you want to take a look, I think it was last spring. I'll get it for you when I get home.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh thank you so much Kim! Really don't try and restrain yourself! I have basically none of my files so I am looking for lots of options. :) Do you remember where you found Alleycat for free? I am only finding sources where it is 25 dollars which for me is pricey since I am just a home crafter.
