Romantic and Corny… Valentine’s Day Fonts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How is it even possible that January is almost over already? It’s not even like I got anything accomplished this month. Except getting back on the one med that controls my “functional dyspepsia” and also treats my insomnia… that was a good thing. Anyway, I thought we’d get a jump on Valentine’s Day and check out some new(er) fancy fonts that would be useful for layouts, wedding invitations and cards so I popped in at DaFont.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and had a look. They’re always adding new fonts (and dingbats!) so there’s often some new and unexplored (FREE) goodies there. Each of these is linked through the name of the font – bolded and in red. Just click on it and you’re there. I’ve got a dozen fonts and three sets of dingbats, so let’s have a look!<\/p>\n

First up is Xhers Alove<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. As shown, both regular and italic versions are included. It would be good for titles and to draw attention to your message. Look at all those cute little heart cutouts!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ready Lover<\/strong><\/a><\/span> can be manipulated in SO many ways. I’d throw a Bevel at it to bulk it up and maybe put it on top of pink or fuchsia paper. It’s a title font, without question.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m such a sucker for swirly script fonts. Billy Bella<\/strong><\/a><\/span> ticks so many boxes for me. I can see it as a subtitle or without the extra glyphs, as text. What are your thoughts?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I adore this upright script font, Hanifah<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. It’s sophisticated, pretty and only a little fussy. It would work nicely for journalling, I think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one, Romantic Dates<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, is a bit sturdier but swirly. It’s versatile like Billy Bella<\/strong>, with many options for use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beauty<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is another very useful font. Pretty, swirly but highly legible, you can use it for anything your heart desires.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isn’t Love Match<\/strong><\/a><\/span> quirky? With or without the glyphs, it’s got potential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think I swooned a little when I saw Hello Valentine<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. That cupid-heart dot over the “i” is so fun! The uneven baseline and the scripty look are so current.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Valentine Soul<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has a broader wheelbase than some other script fonts, and it’s a great all-purpose font too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This font is such a contradiction… compact AND zaftig at the same time! I can see it on a wedding invite pretty clearly. Lovea Hegena<\/strong><\/a><\/span> could even be used as a divider.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love Story<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has those cute little cutout hearts, and would be a perfect title font. I might apply an acrylic Layer Style<\/strong> to it, and then stick it on a contrasting paper to give it real presence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is an older font, but I’ve never seen it anywhere else. Don’t let it throw you, it’s Kinkee<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in name only. It’s got so much potential too. Layer Styles<\/strong> would turn it into a phenomenal alpha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now for some dingbats. These are little pictograms tied to the alpha keys. Hey Babe<\/strong><\/a><\/span> looks a lot like graffiti and could be stunning on a chalkboard paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Loveya Doodle<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is chock-a-block with doodly hearts. They could be used like brushes to jazz up your background papers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last, but not least, Romantine Dingbat<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is a more solid doodly set, and I think they’d make amazing scatters. Maybe with a glitter-gloss Layer Style<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For next week’s tutorial, I’m planning another paper-to-digi technique very appropriate for Valentine’s Day. It’s coming together in my head, I just have to translate it into something approaching coherence. Til then,<\/p>\n
