Well, I must admit that this was such a comfortable subject for me that I let it get away from me.I thought it’d be easy to find great examples of each, but the sheer information on the web nearly throws me into an axiety attack. Performance anxiety attack.GOODSo many examples of lovely type. Some just in the headers, or throught the art of the body, but for a soft, beautiful treatment of hand-drawn and display type I chose the website for an illustrator from Philadelphia. Bearskinrug has a vintage feel to it but seems fresh as well. Retro without being fussy. The tiny woodcut touches are simple and tasteful. Less is more. Thank god.EVILAnything with Zapf Chancery. All Caps. Or the god forsaken Comic Sans. Please stop using that font. Or perhaps a rookie favorite, Papyrus. Please. Please stop using these fonts.
