Okay, so back to what made the best-of-the-best list for the Peers. A number of digital scrapbooking stores also have designers that sell fonts, too. My top three free sites are Font Squirrel (who also have for-purchase items), DaFont and 1001 Free Fonts. Every once in a while, I’ll spend a few dollars at Creative Market, where they often have bundled or packaged collections for a great deal. Do we want something that’s clear and clean, easily readable? Does the page call for something a little more whimsical? Some of the Peers purchase fonts, but many of us also get thrifty and look for free options.Īs a quick side-bar here, I wanted to share some of my favorite font-related sites. Just as we make a conscious decision to select the perfect papers and elements to enhance our memory-keeping, so do we choose the right journaling font. Yes, we all have some of these, don’t we?Īs I browse digi-galleries, I’m always on the lookout for new fonts, whether I really need them or not (ergo: font junkie), so I thought it would be fun to ask the Peers here at Scrapaneers for their favorite go-to journaling fonts. How did that happen? Your fonts must have magically multiplied, right? Mine, too! Some fonts just come standard with the computer’s operating system, and others fall into the “I must have that!” group and that once downloaded never actually make it on to a page. Let me guess … you only really (let’s be honest here) use about, oh I don’t know, 10% of them? Wow.

We’ve all got a handful of fonts that are our go-to ones, right? I double-dog dare you to open up Photoshop and count up the number of fonts you have installed.

So many choices (like all the sample fonts in the image at the top of the screen that I downloaded from the internet)! Let’s talk about our go-to fonts. Bye-bye trying not to smudge my hand-written journaling on my traditional pages, and voila! Open the doors to so many possibilities and enter the world of the font junkie. When I first started digital scrapbooking, I was like the proverbial kid in a candy store: oh, so much to see! As I got over that initial sugar rush of papers and elements, I started to look at fonts.
