New font love

Happy New Year all! Hope everyone had a great break. I'm in the middle of getting the studio organised for the new year. Lots of new projects so need to be super organised in my little space!

I'm currently working on wedding stationery for a lovely client and have just fallen in love with this new font! I love how it has that classical feel but in a very free way. The options are just endless! May take a while to master it.

I hope the client love it as much as I do!

The art of typography

Typography is a major part of my designs. I know other designers out there will relate to this but I can honestly spend an eternity searching for the perfect fonts to use in my designs.

Often there is a frustration designers experience when a client says, "I don't like the font. Can you change it all to Times New Roman?" Little do they know that you've spent a week trying to find the ideal font that works perfectly for their project! I'm learning to become less precious when it comes to font selection and will accommodate the client if they aren't going to budge - even after my rationale spiel about why the particular font has been chosen.

There is one exception... I will NEVER use Comic Sans. Never. Not even if my life depended on it!

There's a great article here all about fonts... enjoy!
