I can't come up with any good excuses why I haven't joined this club yet, so.....here I am!

My favorite font[as of right now] is probably Jey. I like scripty fonts and grungy fonts and I do a lot of Typography work. I'm really good at remembering the names of fonts at a glance[because I have no life and spend hours on end perusing dafont and fontface for fonts I don't already have] but I'm usually really, really indecisive about what fonts to use in graphics.

:D

*le gasp* Teh Ali has joined! Now the club can officially start. :-P Thanks for joining!

Oh, I know! I never have any idea what font to use on my graphics. If I can't find anything that works, I usually fall back on Cezanne, violation, and Trajan Pro. I overuse those on a regular basis. :-D

I love Georgia and Times New Roman. :yes:

As does just about everyone else. I challenge you all to make something that doesn't use Cezanne and Trajan Pro! :P

Ooooh. *has just found abstractfonts.com*

I <3 AbstractFonts.

And I don't make very much with Cezzane OR Trojan Pro, so I don't apply to the challenge. =P

I used to use Trojan Pro all the time, but something happened with that font so now I use Felix Titling in a lot of my stuff

Lol, my main fallback font is Copperplate Gothic Light. I use it in, like almost all of graphics.

Welcome to the club, Ali!

*le gasp* I think I must take this challenge! I'll try to go for the next 4-5 graphics without using them. And I think I might die from withdrawal. :-P

I think I could take on that challenge too, Nurr... :P considering I don't even have Cezanne on the compy (*cue gasps of horror*) hehe

I seriously need to upload new/more fonts though.... it's been forever since I've had anything new to try out... :erm:

I've looked for Cezanne, but I can't find any places to download it for free.

The contest is closed, and the next FOM, along with the results, should be up shortly! :-D As a teaser, the theme Ara and I decided on is: Grungy fonts. Stay tuned! :-P

That's going to be a fun contest. :P I love grungy fonts, but I don't really use them that often.


... I can't wait to see our choices. :)
