What kind of Fonts would you like to see more of?

[Steve C.]

You may choose more than one.

Also, Would having a Chisel version make you more likely to purchase a
font? I know a lot of people here don't care for chisels, but I noticed quite
a few in the recient design contest.

I voted for a bold headline typeface Steve.
Mark me down for one vote against a beveled version.

Our script fonts sell best. Especially Snapper. Other than scripts people
seam ot like Marquee, which is a bold headline font with a chisel version.

If there are any styles I have left out of the poll, please let me know...

 

[Flame]

Casual, but not so cartoony, a little cleaner would be nice.

 

[Bigdawg]

I'm with the no-chisel crowd... I use Marquee A LOT.. but never with the chisel... and Snapper is a beautiful, multi-functional script that deserves to be a best-seller.

Would like to see a bold headline font too... and no to the bevels...

 

[mountainmang]

marquee is my favorite bold font but i find myself using it too often because, well, just because :Big Laugh

I can make this more difficult for you....I'd love to see more font families. I'm quickly replacing most of my old standby fonts in favor of more selections with different weights and options. I bought the entire Bodega Serif family a while back and have used the snot out of it. I'm buying the Bodega Sans as soon as budget allows. I know, it's a lot to ask of a small foundry...just answering the question.

I understand. It probably wont supprise you that those are among the
best sellers....Puff Daddy, Roadhouse, Cricket, and California Plug. And
as one who's background is mostly ShoCard, Window Splash, Grocery
Banner....they are much easier.

Yes...more difficult I noticed that in some of your work, I think
the Early Bird Special Signs....incredable! I've thought of doing that with some
fonts, but usually by the time one is finished, I'm so sick of it that a bold, lite,
condensed or italic version is out of the question. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Steve C.]

Please vote....

Old school, sharp serif, bold and thick & thin sign writers display fonts.

I'm sure that you sell the hell out of those. To me they and their brothers represent sign writer schlock, a hand you use when you don't have time to do it properly.

If you want to do an interesting face, watch the movie Blazing Saddles. In one scene in the governor's office there's just a glimpse of a door lettered 'Attorney General' in a rather narrow high waisted face with a double stroke for the top of the 'A' and an interesting treatment on the curves of the 'O' and, I assume, all other characters with rounds. It's a quite nice hand, very late 19th century. If you do it, you simply have to name it 'Hedley'

 

[Jillbeans]

That would be a hilarious name, bob. I love your sometimes droll suggestions.

Steve, I think you need a slab serif. hahaha
Actually, I voted for retro. My second choice would be bold headline.
While I love a good period font, some of them are used as much as Flamey uses Cricket.
Thanks for asking!
Love....Jill

 

[Steve C.]

I'm always looking for interesting ideas, I'll get Blazing Saddles. Not a big
fan of Mel Brooks humor, but I guess I don't have to watch the whole thing.

Thanks for the suggestions.

If you're scared say you're scared.

Excellent suggestion bob! And absolutely have to call it "Hedley"

And Steve... watch the movie!! It's hilarious.. but not too ummmm politically correct...
