Curated from some of my favorite type foundries, I am sharing a round up of my favorite fonts this month.
Feels contemporary and friendly. Comes with decorative ornaments that really make it feel festive. 🎄
Inspired by the design of the London foundry Stephenson Blake typeface Blackfriars, designer Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich saw real potential for the design to be reinterpreted in a manner that today's designers will find more useful. de Vicq’s vision for the design was to bring a more graceful appearance to the forms and explore its reversed contrast nature with additional weights.The proportions of the lowercase letters in Tuppence are decidedly wider overall, allowing for a more geometric appearance and increasing the typeface's contemporary appeal. Some of the less refined details were omitted and optical weight distribution improved. Tuppence includes a marvelous selection of catch words, swash capital letters and ligatures, plus over a hundred beautiful ornaments, symbols, and arrows perfect for carrying the elegant aesthetic over into other areas of your design. Tuppence retains the warmth and craftsmanship from its English primogenitor of the Victorian era. When considering its application, picture Tuppence in places like food and beverage labels, greeting cards, posters, restaurant logos, and other display mediums.
Classy & traditional. You can never go wrong with a fancy script but if I had it my way, I would hand letter any script messages to give it that human touch. 🖋
Richard Lipton originally released Sloop Script in 1994 through Font Bureau. Sloop Script Pro is the new, improved, rethought version, offering expanded language support and smart OpenType features. All of the new enhancements can be activated via human-readable stylistic sets whose names precisely describe what they do: “Entry Swashes,” “Exit Swashes,” “Smaller Caps,” and so on.
This font is EXTRA with its distinct styles and unlimited ligature options. I love how to you can mix and match characters to get the look you want. Feels very luxurious. Works well for NYE celebrations too! 🥂
Toyko Dreams is a multi-faceted Serif Display typeface with three different styles: An elegant minimal serif, a ligature rich headline font, and a hybrid mix of serif and script letters. Any version of Tokyo Dreams brings a touch of luxury and bespoke custom typography to modern logos, websites, social media quotes, wedding branding, and more.
How I'll feel after going home for the holidaysssss (haha!) but really this font is very bold and decorative. This font also has a ton of ligature options. It's a font you can really play and have fun with. 🎅 It does have a friendly feeling making it a good option for children's applications but it's not too juvenile where you couldn't use it for an adult party invite.
Ten Pounds is perfect for branding, poster design, t-shirts, invitations, design for children, and editorial design. It comes with more than 1300 glyphs, including more than 100 ligatures. OpenType features include stylistic sets, character variants, initial and final forms, and multilingual support (including multiple currency symbols).
I found this font from a book I own, Very Merry Cocktails and immediately feel in love it's distinct circular "O's" and its overall festive feeling. It's bold. It's decorative. It's great for those small headers that give off that holiday cheer!
Canopée was created in 2016 by Jérémy Schneider as part of the new artistic direction of the magazine Welcome To The Jungle. It is an uppercase-only typeface and a singular take on New York’s 1960 store signs. The combination of condensed glyphs with large-rounded O, C and G’s as well as the few alternates available give the font a strong rhythm, perfectly fit for titles.
