This was an interesting read.
I used alphas a lot more in the early days of scrapping when I had way less decorative fonts & styles. Nowadays I do lean towards a font that I then style up on my own.
I have 3 alphas I use again and again, a gold modern style, a vellum one and a B&W zetti/art journaly one that couldn't be achieved with a font and styling.
I am more likely to use alphas with a kit if the letters are not all the same style - or if there are several coordinating alphas that I can mix and match.
