At any rate... One of the things that catches my eye on Pinterest (aside from colorful alcoholic drinks and incredibly rich food)(and I don't even really drink alcohol...) is font compilations. And every time I see one that I like, my decision to repin is based on its Silhouetteworthiness. Stop looking at me like that. Like I'm the first blogger to make up a word. Puh-lease.
So I decided to make my own. :) And these are 100% Silhouetteworthy.
1. gentle redhead
2. mouth breather
3. SNF Lollihop (Oops. This one is actually $4. That's pretty close to free, right??)
4. Chickabiddies
5. LaurenScript
6. Bebas Neue
7. Flowerchild
8. Heartbreaker
9. Intrepid
10. CluffHmkBold
So, a couple of notes. Most of these are super easy for the Silhouette, they're generally thick enough to work with easily. Intrepid is the thinnest, and I use that for negative space, like in a tag. Chickabiddies is just a dingbat font, but they're such cute faces. I don't know why, but the girl I used in the poster is my mathgrrrl alter-ego. I just used the SNF Lollihop today. I love it. It welded together really well after a little scootching around. Did you know that you can ungroup a word and move around each individual letter? You can, and that's VERY useful to know!
And: Impact. I use Impact. A. Lot. And I don't care that it's obvious. I didn't put it on the list because it's obvious, but it's not just obvious...it's classic.
Last note: The link for Bebas Neue? Has the word 'penultimate' - which is one of my most favorite words. Don't look at me like that. Like I'm the first blogger to admit to having favorite words. AND, it has "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" which is the most awesometastic quote that my mother used on me two weeks before sending me off to an all girls college school, imploring me not to be a lesbian. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Thanks, Mom.
So that's that! Thanks for stopping by! I'll have an USP up on the 1st...it's already done and everything...I just need to photograph it. Hope to see you then.
i certainly follow and read your blog ;) and love every minute of it. I especially liked the silly posts which disappeared by the time I tried to like them. :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteI was trying to hook the blog up to my Facebook page so the posts here automatically show up there. It was frustrating me to no idea. Hence the bizarre test posts. Good to know I have a read though. ;)
