Default What font(s) do you use?

I'm looking to add to my font collection so I was wondering what font(s) do you usually use for your title & journaling? Do you have a font that you go to over and over again?

I rarely use fonts for titles, because I am an alpha junkie, but lately my favorite fonts are DJB Coffee Shoppe Espresso, DJB Constance Beauregard, and DJB Brittany

I use my custom font all the time. I got it done by Darcy and she did a terrific job, as usual! Although my handwriting isn't the best I love that it's mine, KWIM? I also love typewriter fonts, like 1942 report and Typenoskidi, especially for dates. DJB Teacher is great for a cleaner handwriting look. And DJB Gimme space is on my wishlist for sure!

I love Gimme Space, and, well, all of Darcy's stuff... and lately I like taking Darcy's fonts and adding a stroke to make them more like an alpha for titles... I also LOVE Shawna's Big Bold Metal alpha...

Hi, I'm Heather and I'm a Darcy Fontaholic. I use lots of her fonts... recently I've been using Kristin Writes, All The Cool Chicks, Constance Beauregard, Gimme Space, Coffee Shoppe Espresso and Coffee Shoppe Buzzed... and sometimes especially if it's for the BOM pages, I'll use my custom print font which is super messy but I like that it's my own handwriting for my BOM pages.

So after looking (can you believe I had no idea what a Darcy font was?) I can't wait to get my pay so I can buy a few.

I actually mostly just use serif fonts or san serif basic fonts..so usually something like century gothic or century schoolbook. i love journalling/handwritte fonts but almost always just go back to plain and boring. LOL

Basically a "ditto" to all that has been said. For fonts.......Darcy rocks. I love her Coffe Shoppe fonts I also go to Kevin & Amanda and Da Font.

For titles I use a lot of alpha too. My favorites are Industrial by Julie Billingsley or Black Bird by Libby Weifenbach. Actually Libby has lots of cute one in the shoppe.....I love her shabby shimmers set and painted chipboard. Good stuff.

I tend to use the same font over and over for awhile and then I move on. I just recently started using Darci's fonts and love them. DJB Gimmie Space is my fave.

I also use CK Cursive a lot for subtitles, I love how it looks.

When I want something other then a typewriter I love Darcy's DJB Merry, I got it free years ago in a collab, but I'm pretty sure she put it in the shop just a few months ago. Yep here it is:

I love Darcy's fonts, and usually will treat myself to a new one every time there's a sale. I also love the free Pea fonts... just downloaded a few new ones the other day!

I have lots and lots of Darcy fonts, but seem to be drawn to Constance Beauregard and Gimme Space.

And if I feel ultra lazy I'll use 1 that came with the laptop, Segoe Script lol!!

DJB Coffee Shoppe series,
DJB Journal Bits (clean journaling font, listed as "Write More Stuff" in the store and comes with journaling strips by Misty Cato),
I also refer to the Pea xxx fonts by Kevin and Amanda,
and I love to use CK Ali's Hand, CK Becky's free at Creating Keepsakes
1942 report, Traveling Typewriter and Remington (typewriting fonts)
Century Gothic
oh, and almost forgot - 2 fonts which are great for titles:
Clementine Sketch, FFF Tusj (just add a stroke to them, color them any way you want and they make great titles)
