Ask

"Normal girls ask for jewelry...only you would ask for a font," my future husband once exclaimed as I was patiently trying to explain to him what I wanted for my birthday a couple years ago.

What girl wouldn't want a modern-flair avant garde font for their birthday? I love me some Mostra!

What fonts do you celebrate?

Inspiration

Today, cupcakes and beer were my inspiration to run, and the flowers of Central Oregon's June "springtime" are my inspiration for my artwork.

What inspires you?

Trending

No, I don't care about what those words say. What I care about is how glorious those font combos are. It's a new trend, it's modern meets retro in the realm of Helvetica meets...well...I should be able to recognize those fonts on sight, but I don't.

It's still beautiful and glorious.

Retro meets modern is the beat of my soul, it's what I wish my outward style would mimic. It is my aspiration.

What belongs in the depth of your soul as your inspiration?

Identity

In college, I had a whole class regarding branding, identity, and consistency across your brand. Ironically, it took me until now -- 2 months before my wedding -- to realize that I have been unconsciously applying that standard to the collateral I've been designing for my wedding.

We have a brand.

It just goes to show that if utilized often enough, little things become habit. I've got to say, consistency across a "brand" is not so bad a habit to have.

What does YOUR brand look like?

Font of the day

We are getting married soon and all of the Pinspiring font choices for our chalkboard signs are simply overwhelming! Do we want script? Rustic? Modern? Chic? Eclectic? Serif or non? How does one decide for the signage for the biggest day of ones life?

By playing around of course! What's your font doodle of the day look like?
