Short Stack is my second favorite font, clear and easy to read.
Handlee, this is the font I like for photograph captions.
Macondo Swash Caps is a font I like to use for special headings.
Sophia is a favorite get fancy script font.
This font, Playwrite GB J, is my favorite. It has the homiest vibe. As you can see, The curvier fonts are thin and small. That is why Playwrite and Short Stack are front runners for me.
Changing fonts as you type hasn’t always been do difficult. I add photos into the text, for example, because when Images are added first, the font is only either default or Verdana.
On my list of things to do in 2026, is to find a personal font, one I like to use all the time. It is sort of like giving my writing hand a face.
Browsing fonts online is fun, gorgeous stuff out there. But, after awhile, I start to want to create my own font. I’ll find s fee that if they were blended, that would be my go to font.
Note, I love lettering. A dream of mine is to own a small vintage hand press.
What are your favorite fonts?

I have always liked fonts too, and I've done a little bit of lettering over the years. I can't think now what ones I like are called.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteSignage with twigs is a nice project.
Working with letters is fun.

I’m not sure what it is called. I am struggling with size of print these days. I wish I could be consistent but…
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteThe sizes of letters on little screens is not easy to read on some websites.

I usually use the Georgia one in Large. Janice
ReplyDeleteJanice,
DeleteGeorgia is the font I used for years. It is a reliable font.

I haven't a clue what font I use but I do know that I like to make sure it's bold to make (hopefully) it easier to read. I don't have many options for fonts and truthfully most of the time I forget I even have them. Italics is my go-to when I want something different.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteUsing italics is a good choice.

For some reason my comments on the new posts after this one haven't shown up. Hmmmm.....another glitch with blog-grrrrr I wonder? I wonder if this one will show up...
DeleteYour last comment got deleted as a weird anonymous. Sorry. I’ve never seen a blank link ID before. It was strange.
DeleteMay
Since blog-grrrrr has been giving me grief I have to make sure I remember to specify myself as being myself and not anonymous. Probably that's what's happened to the comments that didn't appear. So....if I show up as somebody weird, you might know that it's me and I'll try to do better!
DeleteIf you disappear, it could be I click on the wrong word. For some reason, I regularly catch hitting the delete button, even on my own comments.

On the blog I use Palanquin, which I think is relatively easy to read. I'm basically a san-serif type of person and no italics except for titles. I can't read things that get too cute or too fussy. It seems to mess up my eyes!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteFancy fonts for paragraphs aren’t easy on the eyes for sure.

I seem to like Arial.
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
DeleteArial is a nice clear and versatile font. Good choice
