scriptygoddessHello – my name is Amy – and I am a font snob. I spent a bit too long in professional print design for my own good, and learned the hard way to tell good fonts from bad ones.
When I saw some referers in my logs to txgraphics.net, I took one look at that header and fired off an email to the person who owned the site to find out what that font was.
It turns out that font's name is Scriptina, and the designers knew what they were doing – the original scriptina comes with accented characters, and there is an 'alternates' scriptina font which has all of the common ligatures (fi, ff, tt, etc.). It's available in both PC and Mac format.
The rest of the fonts are available at hardcovermedia.com/lab/, and they're looking just as promising. They're freeware, but it's difficult to find freeware fonts of this quality – or quantity.
I'm just flabbergasted by these fonts – as someone whose name contains a non-alphanumeric character, I'm always tickled to death when I can actually use a font to display my name. I will now go back to my little corner and squeal happily for a few more minutes. Thank you.
