Behind the Scenes: Some “Scripty” Fonts

I admit it flat-out. I’ve been a font-lover for it seems like forever. I’ve loved fonts and accumulated them on my computer long before I ever even heard of digital scrapbooking or knew anything like that existed. Now that I’ve been on Darcy Baldwin’s CT (she’s a fontographer at Sweetshopppe – for those who don’t know her) the number of font files on my computer seem to explode (and yep, I’ve heard the rumors that this slows down your computer, so eventually I’ll have to start downsizing my font database). Anyways, the point I’m trying to make: I love me some fonts. So, I thought today, for an easy start, I’d share another couple of my favorite fonts with you. This time I’ve gathered some of my more script-style fonts, and here they are:

These are the ones I go to first, before even looking at some of the other fonts on my computer (when I’m looking for something scripty). In any case, they are available for free at the usual font downloading places (dafont, font.com, etc.), or you can simply google them, if you’d like.

By the way, when searching for a particular font the other day, I stumbled across this wonderful website: DesignsbyAnnMargaret.com. They’ve got a wonderful overview of some fonts, categorized into Handwriting, Calligraphy Script, Block Print, and Calligraphy Celtic fonts.

You’d still have to find them on the font downloading websites, but here you have some great font suggestions all in one place.

Oh, and for those of you who can actually afford to buy fonts, I found (and fell in love) with this website:

This guy has some of the most amazing script-type fonts I’ve ever seen (and believe me, I’ve seen my fair share over the years of my font passion)! Sadly, those fonts are not for free, but then that’s the way things usually are: the best things are rarely for free! In any case, I hope you might be able to find a font or two that you haven’t had yet, and happy scrapping with your new fonts!
