I went for Bold, Headlines. I am a little worn out on scripts. I think all to
often sign designers resort to them, and what could be an interesting design winds
up looking like every other sign. Same with the chiseled fonts. I could
definitely see how these are your best sellers, but I think that is because they
are what people resort to. You can make an alright design with all of the
scripts out there and combine it with a chisel. You can make a great design by
thinking outside of the box with a different set of typefaces.
I also like the comment about font families. Bodega is a great one, as are a
plethora, and it can really add to layouts to have to option of thinning it down
a little, or adding some girth, etc.

So tired of seeing the thousands of Bold Headline fonts that all look exactly like Arial Bold !
Thanks to everyone who participated in this poll. I was really surprised that
Retro got so many votes. I thought Script and Casual would be most
popular.
Hedley will not happen unless someone can send me a clear graphic of that
door. I rented the movie and watched it on my 55" HD TV and it still is too
hard for me to see any detail that bob spoke of.
I have about 10 font projects at some stage of development, but I will
make an effort to include more bold headline, a bold script, and one old
skool type face. Probably some chisel as I enjoy doing them. I have to keep
it fun or it gets too much like work.
Poll closes tomorrow so still time to vote.

what would "distressed" lettering fall under?

Hmmmmmm, Don't know, but I suppose any style can be distressed so it
would need it's own catagory.

dafont is ok, but the quality of many of them is less than optimal.
