make the season bright

Canter

We all know I’m a sucker for a tall skinny font. And those dropped arms on the “E” and “F” — hello little loves! My favorite part of this type are all the weights—especially that striped shadow! Such a festive flair. Doesn't that bold shad ...

comfort and joy

Stilla

Decided to stick to traditional Christmas berry and olive color scheme today. This font is large and in charge, and all sorts of fancy. Swooning over this type, Stilla! Everything from the unique bell-bottomed "A", "M" and "N" to the overly plu ...

one cannot live well if one has not dined well

Norwester + Lobster 1.3

Norwester and Lobster 1.3 are one of my all-time favorite type combinations. I love this mysterious gray (with a purple past)— it goes so well with any color palette. Especially this soft rusty orange and tan. Norwester is definitely one of my ...

the jensen family reunion

Motion Picture

A thick script font with just the right amount of curl. I loved using this font for some family reunion invitations I designed. White on kraft for the win! Feeling vintage vibes from this type so I gleaned a little inspiration from old baseball tee ...

bring home the bacon

Poetsen One

A basic gray and soft red color palette because this font was screaming brush script vintage to me which meant a halftone pattern was in order. And of course, bacon. Why not? The curvy flow of this fatty, bubbly font is oh-so fun. It was the pe ...

she who dares wins

Duke

Such a powerful quote called for statue-strong type. Hello Duke! This font comes with three visual weights, fill, regular and shadow. I loved the shadow weight because it's beveled effect on the type that makes the font look like part of it has myste ...

i don't do mondays

Sticky Things

I feel like brush scripts get a bad rap. But this font feels all sorts of right. Especially when we're talking about Mondays. I'll be honest. I did modify some of the letters to be less….brushy. (I have my reasons!) but honestly, I love the sense of hurri ...

i recommend pie

Madfont

Scalloped slab serifs! Madfont, I'm so glad we met. (We all know wide-set font families are my personal love affair). Quite the appetizing color scheme if I do say so myself. There are so many good things happening in this type. These wide-s ...

apple 2

Cooper Black

Throwing it back to the Apple II computer in 1977. I love the play on dimension here, a simple line drawing with the oh-so-popular 3-d shadowing. Capturing that old advertising feel with some dirty paper hues and none other than Cooper Black. ( ...

time for a cookie

Nelma

A deep teal and tan seemed so appetizing considering…cookies. Nelma, how were you so sweetly, intricately, delicately devised? You are the lace of fabrics. The cherry on top, the cream of the crop! Those tall slab serif feet hint at an old western ...
