Because I adore making printables and make them often, I get emails and comments asking about fonts that I used for projects a lot. I’m starting a new series-
Sometimes I’ll just share new ones I find. Other times I’ll give you fonts that I used for specific projects that I get asked about. Like this one:
These are some of the fonts that I use most often.
- NOVECENTO WIDE
- DEMING
- Learning Curve
- Orator Standard
- Wisdom Script AL
- Bebas
- and my own handwriting ;) Edited to add: I hand wrote my name- it’s not a font. But I did have my plain handwriting turned into a font. I’ll share that next time!!
Leave your favorite fonts in the comments (as long as you don’t include Comic Sans or Papyrus)!
Hi- I'm Mique (as in Mickey). I started 30days as an idea file a few years ago. After three years and hundreds of ideas, I now realize that I'll never check them all off my list. When I'm not creating, I love spending time with family and friends and long drives, especially if they end at the beach.

CUTE IDEA!! Some of my favorite fonts are Jenna Sue and Channel for whimsical, Girls Are Weird for fun, and Perpetua Titling for a nice plain serif font!
Awesome- thanks for sharing Erin! I love Channel too. Thanks for the comment.
how did you get your own handwriting to print out like that? Or is it just personally written on?
Hi Maria- it’s just my signature. ;) But my plain handwriting is a font. I’ll be sharing that next time. Thanks!
I love looking at your blog! It is fantastic! I cant believe how cute your handwriting is and that it is a font! That is way to cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kelsey! You are too sweet. It’s just my signature. But I have a plain font signature that I’ll share next time. Have a great day! xo
oh, i love fonts too. love them! as a graphic designer, i get to work with them quite often. a few of my favs are mrs. eaves, filosofia and helvetica. yes, helvetica. it’s such a simple font, but used the right way? can have so much impact! what’s the font you used on your page tabs up top/title of your posts? i love it!
Thanks for the comment Becca! And for sharing your favorites. I agree- Helvetica is a classic. The font on my page tabs/titles is Ostrich Sans. Enjoy!
Love fonts too! Too bad my handwriting isn’t cute, otherwise, I’d turn it into a font too! :)
Thanks for the comment Melinda. I bet your handwriting is cute. ;) Even if it isn’t, turn it into a font. It’s fun!
as you know, i’m addicted to fonts!! my current “fun” favorite is LemonChicken. xo
Yep, I knew you love fonts. You are in the right business for that. ;) Lemon Chicken is a fun “whimsical” one.
I’ve been digging creampuff lately. Bebas is always my go to plain font and I love anything from Lost Type Co-op.
Creampuff is lovely!! Bebas is my stand-by as well. And I LOVE Lost Type Co-op too. ;) Great minds think alike. Thanks for the comment Ms. Jenn! xo
I love fonts too, thanks for sharing! What font did you use for “you are cute as a button”? I love how it looks!
Hi Rachel- thanks for the comment. The “you are cute as a button” is Bebas that I shared. ;)
Oh this is exciting!! I love new fonts!
Thanks Lizy! I love new fonts too. Excited to share! xo
Hi Mique, I am such a font junkie and have been starting to look at font managers beyond the “FontBook” that comes with the mac. Do you use a font manager? Have you got any feedback about any in particular?
Hey Judy- I just got a Mac for Christmas so I haven’t found an alternative yet. I’ll ask around and let you know what I find. Thanks for the comment!
I’m so excited about this series – you have tons of cute fonts and I LOVE discovering more (especially when I can download them myself for free)! Personally, I love Dancing Script, Museo, Smiley Monster, and de Louisville (just to name a few)! : ) Can’t wait to see more of this series!

Thanks for the comment Caroline! Glad your excited about the series. ;)
I posted some St. Patrick’s Day Fonts last week.
Check them out: http://alderberryhill.blogspot.com/2012/02/st-patricks-day-fonts.html
P.S. I love your fonts, they go together so nicely!
Sarah- thanks for sharing! And for the compliment. xo
LOVE it! From one font addict to another… I will be tuning in to add to my collection! Thanks!
Awesome- thanks for the comment!
Well this makes my BA of Graphic Design carrying self very happy. I love typography!!
This is going to sound pretty boring with all the great choices out there, but if I had to pick one font to use day in and day out I’d have to go with Century Gothic or Papyrus … bwahahahahahahaha!!
Thanks for sharing some new ones to add to my collection ;).
Andrea- some day when I grow up I want to get a BA in Graphic Design! Unless it makes me want to use Papyrus. Then it’s a no go. :P
xoxo
Yay! I can’t wait! I love to see them in use too, what a great idea! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the comment Bethany. And for sharing about the series on your blog! xo
Hi, my name is Lori and I’m a Fontaholic. I’ve mentioned it a number of times on my blog, too. Being a graphics teacher definitely allows me to feed my addiction. lol. Love this series idea!
Yay for feeding font addictions! Maybe I need to be a graphics teacher so I have a good excuse for being obsessed with fonts. Thanks for the comment Lori!
Ok… I began to type out all of my favorites and it just got ridiculous. I have a Pinterest boards dedicated to fonts (most of them are links to free ones)…

I have even seriously considered creating a blog dedicated to my love of fonts.
Fonts are my drug.
Fonts are my drug as well Celeste. Such a healthy drug. ;) Thanks for sharing all of your favorites. You better believe I went and downloaded them all. I had found American Typewriter Light and am in love with it. (just googled it after you put it on IG).
Well, I must share these — it took me forever to find them for free, but I finally did!
