    Posted by Steve Underhill on January 4, 2008 at 1:06 pm

    Just wondering what you all prefer use when you use a script type font, as in calligraphic hand written ones, for example Sofia script or Valentino etc.
    I have a few but just wondered which ones every one else likes, I’m looking for nice new fonts like this, and would like to see what everyone else uses.
    I need to spend some of this money I never spent at Xmas cos we all had the flu.

    I use traditional looking fonts such as Bank, English or Commercial

    Others such as Palace tend to be difficult to read from a distance

    Commercial is heavy but is more easily read

    Check out these two sites:
    Signfonts. com (maker of valentino and they have a new one called Heartbeat)
    http://www.artandsignstudio.com/fonts.html
    Sign DNA (they have beautiful scripts from Mike Stevens and Bob Behounek)
    http://www.signdna.com/v2/cart/category.php?id=35&gp=32
    Whatever you do…don’t bother with Brush Script!
    🙂
    Love….Jill

    Oh I never do use brush script Jill, dont worry I hate that font.
    I was just interested to know what other people liked, you know theres always a font you like but nobody else does, and the first site you listed there is one I have been looking at, the signfonts one, absolutely cracking fonts, I really do fancy one of their font packs. and the $99 one looks good I think.
    I will check out the other one now
    Cheers
    Steve

    P.S Well done! I just looked at the other site too
    its excellent!
    now Ill be broke.

    Well I just spent $99.95 on the script font package from art & sign studio, some very nice fonts there for the price.

    14 fonts for £52 it worked out at, good value.

    I love "Magic" from http://www.signdna.com

    http://www.letterheadfonts.com has some great scripts created by signwriters. Sofia is my personal favorite.

    not quite sure how it works, I did briefly read it but was doing something else at the time and didnt quite get the jist
