Obsession: Fonts

I am obsessed with fonts.

I have over 500 on my computer.

{Which I don't recommend... it just makes choosing a font extremely difficult.}

Generally speaking, I will find a new font that I love.

I will use it as much as possible, on every invitation I design.

Then... one day... I will just tire of that font and it will leave my repertoire.

Of course, I don't delete it from my computer, because what if one day I decide I like it again?

Another thing I am obsessed with is Christmas cards {wait for it... I swear there will be a connection}.

I love getting and giving Christmas cards.  I have a contest to choose my favorites in a variety of categories that change each year {for example, this year we had the category "Best Use of a Fake Deer"}.

Last year, my friend Corey {who is a Graphic Artist} and I were looking through Brooke's Christmas Cards and we decided that there should be a Font Graveyard {see... there it is}.

A place where we can bury {i.e. delete from the computer} those fonts that have been so very overplayed and should never, ever be used again.

This morning, I think I will start clearing the clutter, and begin the burial.

Here are the fonts I am burying first and foremost.

{If you are currently using one of these fonts as your go-to... please consider making a change.}

If I have just crushed your spirit by burying your favorite font, I apologize.

So how about I make it up to you by telling you my newest font secret?

I found this blog a few weeks ago... www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts.

You can download {for free} some amazingly cute fonts.

My current obsessions are:

See... super adorable, right?

Did I make it up to you?

Do you have any font secrets to share???

Want to add some to the memorial?  Or know about a great font resource?

Think I'm a cooky bird that obsesses about weird things?

It's okay... I am aware.
