— Jackie, London, August 29th 2008
“MyFonts makes it easy to find the perfect font for your project at an affordable price. Want a font that expresses the whimsy of childhood or that has a retro '70s flare? Use the site’s search feature.
The site also offers helpful tools like WhatTheFont, which scans the text on any image you upload and finds the closest matches in its database.”
— MacWorld, October 2008, August 28th 2008

— Jennifer in San Diego, August 25th 2008
“As a former art major, I have a hard time hiring someone to do design work for me, so I do my own. I recently finished my second website’s design thanks to one of your fonts and Fireworks. I have had people tell me that the site is “heavenly.” Couldn't have done it without you! It is still a work in progress, and if it’s allowed, please take a look:

That’s the Sweetheart Script that I bought in June that’s the star. Thanks again. I love being able to preview before purchase. It’s great!
Irene”
— Irene from Vegas, August 23rd 2008
“The one vice I must indulge even in this time of tightened belts is my obsession for beautiful fonts. It seems that every time I get this newsletter I impulse-buy a new typeface. Keep up the good work!”
— Kathleen from Oregon, August 21st 2008
“I just read the comments from Joe in France and have to agree! You guys take me back to the days when I was an apprentice for an Art Studio in Detroit, MI. All the type we set and alphabets we created were done by hand & brush or pen and then photostated to make additional letters that then could be made into headings for ads we created for GM and the art staff at Cambell-Ewald. Font creation... may it never become a lost art. Thanks you guys!”
— Don in Torrance, CA, August 21st 2008
“It was up until today that I have not read your newsletter, and I must say that I am thoroughly pleased about it!
I'm a photographer and I do a lot of design work myself, I find that looking for fonts is the most time-consuming thing about designing. Thanks to the newsletter, I've found two new fonts to lust after in just one letter:)
I look forward to the next one, keep ‘em comin’!”
— Jackie from Alberta, Canada, August 21st 2008
“I may be a granddad designer but the MyFonts newsletter in my inbox every month keeps me young! I notice there’s an ‘Unsubscribe’ link here - surely NOT! Who UNsubscibes? Not any designer I'd want to know, that’s for sure!
Keep it going cos you guys are INSPIRATIONAL!
Thanks a million!”
— Roger in the Algarve, August 20th 2008
“Operating from the ‘Armpit’ of Africa means I as professional designers don't have all the access that European and American designers might have, so it was great delight that your emails arrive.
The sense of immediacy that the information and presentation is much like getting an IV of caffeine straight into my creative vein.
There seems very little appreciation for top quality typography by some of the local designers/agencies and the local design colleges no longer focus on the importance of superior typography.
So a huge thank you for my creative injection.
All the best to those involved.”
— Bazil Raubach, August 20th 2008
“Thank goodness!!
A super dated font beloved by a client... wracked my brain trying to recall it... enter “What the font” Took less than a minute... I am impressed... and I own the silly thing for under $20. GREAT WORK !!!”
— Sy from the Island, August 4th 2008
“I love your website! But I can't find stanford script anymore? Did you discontinue it? It was my favorite script! Please bring it back!”
— Robin, July 30th 2008
“Just wanted to share that I look forward to each and every newsletter. As geeky as that might sound, I find every time it arrives in my inbox, I have a sense of excitement; reflecting the fact that so far, the newsletter has never failed to deliver. I cannot explain it, but the quality typefaces you highlight provide a very special & unique enjoyment to me.
The obtuse-though-somehow-relevant sample text alone warms me like little else does. Thank you!”
— Joe in Bordeaux, July 18th 2008
“You folks are great. I love to browse your new offering and really get a kick out of the free fonts. Here is a good thought- at first all I did was download free stuff, but your site is so good and offered such nice work, that eventually I found myself forking over real money for really good products too.”
— Ellen Kirk, July 16th 2008
“Thanks for the font recognition service. I just recommended this site to my designers and they were wonderstruck.
This has helped sort out our problem to a large extent.
We are planning to use the services on our Net Goons website”
— Net Goons, June 11th 2008
“Mark R. solved my problem in record time. I work at a print shop and the pdf file was the only file the client had; but new business cards had to be made. Thanks to all who helped, and espcially Mark R. who nailed it. Much appreciated.”
— Jane from San Francisco, June 9th 2008

“I can't tell you how many times your web site has saved me time, and my company money by helping me to identify mystery fonts. I've sent the link to many colleagues because its just too good to keep to myself.
I truly look forward to your newsletter. It’s well written, chock full of useful info and attractive.
Thanks!”

— Giovanni from NY, May 21st 2008
“I have been looking for a hard-to-find font on a logo that was used on a website that I have created. The headings really needed to be the same as the logo. I searched for weeks and then I found myfonts.com and used WhatTheFont search and... 10 seconds and there it was! Wow, you guys are awsome! Thank you so very much!”
— Mike from Little Rock, May 16th 2008
“MyFonts is a fabulous site. I've become a bit addicted to scrolling through the many offering, creating albums, trying out different fonts. WhatTheFont is a great resource - it is amazing how it identifies fonts and once, when it couldn't come up with the answer, I tried the Member Forum with excellent results. What a super group - friendly, and I received an answer almost immediately from a very nice and helpful person. Finally, I have to say that Chris Dargue in Customer Service is really, really good at his job. Thank you Chris!”
— MCM in Connecticut, May 15th 2008

Thanks for keeping me young :)”
— Kiwi in Bali, May 8th 2008
“MyFonts has proven indispensable to me as a web designer, not just in finding unique and affordable fonts, but also in being able to share albums of fonts with my clients for them to choose from.
Furthermore, your newsletters are always informative and fun; I especially enjoy your profiles of font creators.”
— Nora from Chicago, May 7th 2008
“Before opening my new home store, I felt like I would need a font that represented me and the feel of my store. I knew it would be a vital part of my branding of items in the future, so I spent a lot of time investigating fonts... like alot of time!!!
My Fonts had THE BEST fonts industry wide, hands down! I spent at least 9 hours on their site alone.(my friends thought I was crazy)I ended up going with the Ruthie font and it is now a big part of my branding and look of my store.
I love the stores of the artists and I really love the selection. Keep up the great work!!”
— catherine from seattle, May 6th 2008
“Your ‘Rising Stars’ email is the best HTML email I receive every month. If only you knew the number of times I cherry pick fonts for use from it - I store the old ones and review when starting a branding project.
Keep up the excellent work.”
— Richard from London, April 8th 2008
“I just realised I never look anywhere else for fonts anymore - I used to slog through dozens of sites looking for just the right font for a project or trying to match a font given to me by a client - now I just go to you guys and I've never failed to find just what I'm looking for.”
— deb from Australia, April 7th 2008
“This site is a wonderful place to find fonts. Not only that, their support team is great! When I made a mistake in downloading a Mac font file instead of the Windows equivalent, it took them less than 30 minutes to fix the problem and get back to me.”
— Lorelei from Texas, April 6th 2008
“This is a most excellent website for finding fonts.
It’s amazing! I found to hard to find fonts that I thought was impossible.
GREAT WORK! I will definitely recommend!”
— Alex from Houston TX, March 31st 2008
“I need to visit more often.
Very cool site with great fonts.”
— Patrick from Texas, March 11th 2008
“Hey... you know what? I think I might sometimes be described as web-weary. All the money making angles, spam-alot, adwords, internet low-life... everyone it seems, levering away.
Well, for four+ years I have been reading each and every one of your vibrant newsletters and every one is a gem. One day, content like this will be seen as the ‘Golden age of the web’.
Congratulations. Don't let the monster of commerce dumb you down. I just wish I was in graphic design, where I am sure I would have a hefty account with you.”
— Captain Clay-Mate, Guildford, England, March 6th 2008
“I look forward to every MyFonts Newsletter with glee. The thought, the research, the depth, the creativity is truly inspiring. Back in 1991 I was told by my mentor to know fonts and hot keys and I'll go far. I love adding new fonts faces to my ever expanding pool of font knowledge. No one may want to travel in a car with me and listen to my constant banter on every font I see, but to me it is all art! Thank you. Trish”
— THE Artist Trish, March 6th 2008
“Just plain incredibly helpful, this site is a joy to visit.
I have my customers in a scrapbooking store who want help finding the name of a font. I show them your site, and they are often very grateful to me for it.
So you're definitely making my job easier.”
— Sharon, March 4th 2008
“Inspiration ignited.”
— Kenge2, March 4th 2008
“Would highly recommend this site. Wide variety of fonts at extremely affordable prices. Fonts are easy to find whether by name or style. Looking for art deco just type in art deco and voila a bunch of fonts appear in that category.”

— Chloë from London, February 25th 2008
“This site is a life saver. I recommend it to all I meet. This makes me a bit of an outcast at parties, but at least I'm not stuck for conversation.
But really, I appreciate the hard work that has gone into making this site what it is.”
— Aaron, Kuwait City, Kuwait, February 17th 2008
“Alors là , bravo , je dis bravo. C'est fort, très très fort! 18 propositions seulement et j'ai retrouvé la police d'écriture de notre logo que nous avions inventé il y a 10 ans un peu au hasard avec Adobe. Merci!”
— edouard from Lille - France, February 13th 2008

— Katie, St. Louis, MO, February 11th 2008
“I needed to match an obscure typeface and did so so thanks to your brilliant website which identified the typeface immediately. I’m very impressed with your service.”
— David from Pinner, February 10th 2008
“Thanks for your monthly newsletter. It always brightens my day. When I saw Sweetheart Script last month I must admit I was slightly disappointed, but only because I had only just completed my wedding invitations prior to receiving this email, and Sweetheart Script would have been perfect!
I chose Dominique however, and I'm still happy with my choice. I've had many comments about the font used in my invites!”
— Dee from Perth, February 8th 2008
“I'm not a great user of multifarious typefaces, but find your newsletter and website incredibly interesting and useful.”

Thanks again and kudos on the ease of use of the what the font section and forum - totally idiot proof!”
— Rachy@Sinful Design, Belfast, February 3rd 2008

“WOW! You just saved me a LOT of time! I had to recreate a company logo and I wasn't able to match the font. I remembered that I had joined your website this weekend at home and decided to put it to the test at work. It instantly and correctly identified the font that I needed! Your site has saved me so much time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
— Schwabby, January 29th 2008

I wanted to use that same font on my new book.
Thank you, thank you.
I have your site book-marked and I am sure that I will be back!”
— Binkley the Author, January 27th 2008
“Your upload a picture font identifier saves me hours every month. Thank you!!!”
— Ronnie, January 17th 2008
“I checked out your website after reading about you in “Playing to Type” by Virginia Postrel in the Jan/Feb '08 issue of The Atlantic magazine.
What an amazing treasure trove of creative fonts! And so many young and talented designers adding their efforts to the existing classic fonts. As a recently retired graphic designer, I am looking forward to doing my own projects for a change. I will certainly become a customer. Thanks for such a great, user-friendly site.”
— TJ, Atlanta, GA, January 16th 2008
“I've been a professional Desktop Publisher for close to 4 years now and until I found WTF I would manually search through some 3000 fonts.
This soaked up minutes of my time. Minutes leads to hours, hours to days and days to weeks. Literally since I have been using WTF I have saved weeks of my life scanning through fonts. I'm very pleased with the results and am considering naming my second born after you. (My first born being named “Ampersandsansserif” or “Little Ampie” for short.)”
— Daniel from London ON, January 11th 2008
“I saw a font on a restaurant menu with the most interesting ampersand, I had to know what it was. When I got home, I crudely drew what I remembered of it, and submitted it to WhatTheFont. At the top of the list was Scala Sans Italic - the very font I had been looking for! Now I've been using WhatTheFont almost daily for over a year, and have become accustomed to the amazing things it does, but this truly blew me away when I saw how different my drawing was from the actual font. Well done!”
— Mark-R from Minnesota, January 7th 2008
“I had an Office 2003 update crash and have been fighting through the results of that for several days now; unable to uninstall, find answers or help anywhere. I almost didn't bother trying to download a new font for fear of the repercussions, but decided the worst thing that could happen is it wouldn't work, right?
To my utter and complete amazement, the download wizard not only recognized the faulty upgrade but offered to (and actually DID) remove it!!!! Who'da thunk ordering a $19 font would solve bigger problems!!!!
Makes me VERY glad I opted for purchasing a similar font from MyFonts as opposed to the exact font from somebody else. [Which, btw, I found using the “What the Font” feature -- another fantastic attribute!] At the risk of totally unprofessional gushing, “I love you guys!””
— Meg of Columbus, Ohio, December 30th 2007
“Wow. Visited another font-finding site first, and answered twenty questions only to be offered over 500 possibilities.
Found you, uploaded a jpeg and - yippee - you were bang on the nail, first time!”
— Jon from tellyAds.com, December 25th 2007
“Thank you so much for the ease-of-use of your website, the reverse engineering capability of WhatTheFont, and the ability to quickly print all business for the year at tax time.
You have truly improved the experience of type browsing with simple and beautiful workflow.”
— Tim from San Francisco, December 23rd 2007
“I would like to tell you that I am very happy from the last experience I had with your company. I purchased Flux and installed it on my computer one year ago. I recently purchased a new computer with Vista, I went to your web site and I easily was able to download your fonts in my new computer.”
— Bernard from Saint-Bruno, Quebec, December 19th 2007
“I just have to let you people know how much I love your WhatTheFont site; it is the most useful site I know.
I have over 3500 fonts on my system and obviously can't remember them all, WhatTheFont saves me so much searching time.
I love it!”
— Michael from West Yorkshire, December 19th 2007
“Within 30 minutes of a WhatTheFont posting, two experts identified the font for a logotype that had been driving me crazy for three weeks.
I've been able to test-drive a logotype using your vast inventory of fonts combined with the text of my new company’s name -- and it’s been four hours of pure adrenaline, seeing the possibilities that could bring my corporate identity to life.
I will be purchasing at least three fonts and may become addicted enough to add a half dozen more.”
— Keith Styrcula from Westport, CT, November 22nd 2007
“I just wanted to commend you guys on the “WhatTheFont” utility. What a fantastic piece of software!
As a freelance Graphic Designer working in the screenprinting industry I get dozens of requests to redraw logos in Adobe Illustrator from existing JPGs. “WhatTheFont” saves me hours of wasted time looking through font books and guess work trying to match fonts in the files I'm sent. All I have to do now is send the JPG onto “WhatTheFont” and I've found the font I want in seconds instead of hours.
Brilliant!”
— Steve Younis from Sydney, Australia, November 15th 2007
“Thank you for the great option of being able to reinstall (for no extra charge) a couple of fonts I purchased a couple of months ago after accidentally deleting them!
Love all your products!”

I get this great email to upgrade the fonts that got eaten.
Forgetten my loss, now I rock with MyFonts!”

“Your brilliance scares me.”
— Jim from Kansas, November 2nd 2007
“MyFonts is the most exciting thing on the web. Typography is one the undiscovered treasures of the art world.
As an ex-Creative Director hiring and firing Designers I always looked at their typography first. It told me all I needed to know about their real design ability and judgement.
Like the BBC, Radio 4 and The Times, MyFonts is one of the few reasons not to succumb to madness in an insane world.
Bless.”
— Michael from Sussex, November 2nd 2007
“My 6 month old Mac PowerBook Pro Laptop was recently destroyed in an accident. Although I was lucky enough to retrieve the bulk of documents, I was unable to get some of my favorite fonts that I had purchased specifically for my new - now old - Mac. I was preparing to repurchase the same fonts for my new Mac when an attention-grabbing notice pops up telling me that I had already purchased those very fonts. While grumbling to myself, “Tell me about it...” the message went on to inform me that I could re-download those fonts - FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST!!!!!
In the beginning, switching to a Mac from a PC computer made me nervous when it came time to choose which font format I needed - I'm not a computer wiz - and decided to ask. A representative responded quickly, telling me not to worry, that if my first format choice was not correct, they would assist me in downloading the proper one.
Saving me money and great customer service in one place? Hard to believe these days, but MyFonts has managed to pull it off for me, and will continue to receive my business!”
— Cruzlin Picabo, October 31st 2007
“Thanks ! First time I try “What The Font”... BING ! Only few second to recognize it, even if my picture was not very nice !
I'm so surprised of this “effectiveness”...
I'll come back soooon for sure !”
— Sophy d, October 16th 2007
“I love Myfonts.com!! Great search tools, tons of different foundries, really reasonable prices, and best of all, PayPal as a payment option.
When I get a new client, I go right to MyFonts and start browsing, and I never miss with them.
My clients are happy, my wallet is happy, and I get great fonts to work with.”
— Gabe - California web designer, October 12th 2007
“WhatTheFont saved me hours of agony by “nailing” two different fonts that I could not remember the name of. It is VERY impressive, thanks a lot for making it available online.”
— EL-Kabong!, October 9th 2007
“When looking for the perfect font, I always head to MyFonts first - your website is so smart and easy. I also LOVE your ‘what the font’ feature - such magic!
And recently, after a total harddrive crash disappeared several of the fonts I'd purchased from MyFonts, I found that I could just download the files again! Thank you so much for making this part of my work so effortless and fun and failsafe.”
— Emily from EMprint Press, September 30th 2007
“I just don't know how you recognize them so well. Hats off to you! I always have a look through the first 10 or so pages in case I can help, and one day I'm sure I will recognize one...
Cheers and keep up the good work.”

Keep it up!”
— Rachel From Toronto!, September 11th 2007
“It is rare that I have an inner city school student want to be a type Designer, but this year it happened and the next day your article on Frantisek Storm appeared!
There are few things I enjoy more than typefaces and their origins, but connecting a student with a real world designer is one of them!
Thanks for the excellent writing and keep them coming! You never know who you may inspire!”
— Cherié, Metro Tech High School, Phoenix AZ, August 24th 2007
“Thanks to the way you run your website!
I had a careless tech wipe out most of my hard drive. (I know, I know - back up!) I had forgotten completely that MyFonts kept my orders as part of my account.
Bless you! Bless you all! One piece of recovery that ended up being relatively painless - I can't thank you enough!”
— Meg from Columbus, OH, August 22nd 2007
“I love your site and have long been a member.
I needed a new font for a project, and your site listed but could not sell the version I needed. However, you gave me a link to where I could get it.
Thank you. It made getting what I needed fast and easy. You gave me the best possible customer service, even though I could not make a purchase from you.
You are top on my list for any future needs. I will always come to your site first.”
— Erin from Denver, August 19th 2007
“I bought Vintage ITC on 11/1/02, I just bought a new computer and for some reason the font didn't transfer to the new computer. I found my purchase record in Quicken and with the order# I could download the font.
Brilliant Service, I will always buy fonts from you!”
— sjf3 Palm Beach, August 14th 2007
“I've used MyFonts.com for several years but today I became a loyal patron. Your customer service is the best!
I just had an “emergency” and Chris Dargue at the Help Desk gave it immediate attention - very professional - going over and above anything I would have expected! Thank you Chris!
I would recommend MyFonts.com to anyone...anytime!”
— Terry from Connecticut, August 6th 2007

Bas”
— Bas from Amsterdam, July 19th 2007
“Inspirational! For our entire studio, it reminds us of what design is all about. When designing you become so involved in the problem-solving issues - logistics, budget, target market - and then we receive your newsletter and it pulls us back to the core of what it is all about: ‘designing brand excellence’ through well considered beautiful typography. THANK YOU for a stunning and always refreshing newsletter.”
— Carmen Lerm from South Africa, July 18th 2007
“I have My Fonts as my home page as typography is my passion! It’s so easy to find what you're looking for, and to look at comparisons,
especially being able to type in the word(s) you need - if you need that special ‘w’ or ‘k’ for example.
My favourite foundry is P22, I am always drawn to their style and am always on the look out for new ones.”
— Catherine from Guernsey, June 21st 2007
“This web site is must for any graphic designer, the OCR function is the best ever, I love it so much ^_^
Please keep it free, and add a donation button, it’s really the best thing ever after Google, and I'm not exagerating. I have tons of fonts, but without this tool I will not be able to find what I'm looking for, I will support this website by buying as much as I can afford for my projects.
Thank you very much MyFonts.
Anwar.”
— Anwar (Tunisian) From Canada, June 16th 2007
“We had a company approach us, requesting to put an ad in our magazine but ONLY if we could locate the font used for their company name. THEY had no idea what it was as it had been created some years back and no record of the font was found. They were getting fed up of other publications using fonts that were ‘close enough’.
Using a jpg from their site, it took us under 5 minutes to find the font name using WTF & less than 1/2 a day to secure the full page ad.
Thx for a GREAT service!”
— David - Fuengirola (Spain), June 7th 2007
“Really enjoyed your special publication, Distinguished Characters. Just short enough, just long enough to keep me reading and learning. MORE!”
— Terry from LA, June 4th 2007
“What font is great; just follow the instructions on how to supply your image and voilà there’s your font!
Brilliant.”
— Nigel from Shropshire, May 20th 2007
“For those who are not sure about the power of WhatTheFont: it’s incredible! It has found a font (slipstream) by simply recognizing 1 letter only from my (bad) jpg pic!!!
Please, look at Slipstream font to know what I'm saying....”
— Scaraz, May 20th 2007
“I have never needed to go beyond MyFonts as a resource and I just love the convenience and ease of access it affords me. I have been in the middle of a project and in need of something a ‘bit special’ in a font, only to go straight to the website and in a matter of minutes I could select and download precisely what I needed. Superb service and accessibility! My sincere thanks.”
— Sandra from Cork, Ireland, May 17th 2007
“I've used MyFonts.com as a reference for a while now, using it to identify fonts, look for new fonts, and just have fun using their tools (like What the Font and More Fonts Like This). I got on their email list and have received their newsletter for a while now. It’s interesting stuff. And then the other day in the newsletter, they sucked me in.
A new font with African influences called Tsotsi had just come out, and it was beautiful. It’s got a off-center humanist feel to it, but it’s also clean and readable. And best of all it was on sale for about $10. So I bought it.
And since I was going through checkout already, I had a few other fonts I saved into my favorites: Grilled Cheese, Nagomi… I added them to my basket too. I looked at a bunch of others too, but finally found the restraint at just 3.
So their experience is great. They let you do all sorts of great things with their site even if you aren't a customer. And that sucked me in and got me involved. I created an account, saved favorite fonts, signed up for the newsletter… and then a few months later when I wasn't really looking to buy a font, I ended up buying 3.
Bravo.”

“I teach a short typography course at our university. Your website is at the top of the resource list I give to my students. Your website frequently features biographies of type designers. Have you ever considered publishing a book of 100 of the most important type designers? Or is such a book out there already?”

“I've been online for 10 years.
I've purchased A LOT of things in the web.
But, lemme tell you: FORGET Amazon, FORGET Ebay, FORGET E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g
Guys, you at MyFonts, have provided me in the last 20 minutes with just the BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST online service I've received EVER.
Your site is a role model of what a shopping site should be (in your category of product, of course). Listen: When, after registering and purchasing the font I wanted (alternate gothic 2) (yes, yes, I know, I'm just ANOTHER dork who wanted to own the official YouTube typeface, sorry about that, chief!) well, right after that I decided to keep perusing at your site AND I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE that now your font examples were showing me for ALL THE FONTS showed the same words I had chosen to use during the ‘drive test’....!!!! Now, THAT'S PERSONALIZE SERVICE TO THE TOOOOP!!!!!
What a fonting surprise, guys! Thanks for such an unexpected experience.
I just LOVE the way I felt traveling around your cozy, practical, nice, effective and FAST web site.”

“Wow! What an amazing site! After wasting an hour trying to find a specific font I came across a link to your website and soon found “What The Font”
... Just in time to save me uttering a similar but less savoury statement.
In mere minutes I had a selection of near matches, the second of which was identical. Thanks! This is pure genius!”

— Joan from Connecticut, November 15th 2006

AND i am not really a designer, an artist, but not a designer. and i don't know that much about what to do if something goes awry when i'm downloading things. i was wonderfully shocked by the ease! thanks, i'll be back to order more!”
— linda from boston, November 7th 2006

This site has helped me very well.

“I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your newsletter. I am an avid font collector for both home and work, but since I work for a non-profit and budget depends upon donations, I stick to the free fonts. But, oh! how I lust for some of the featured fonts in the newsletters! My favorites always seem to have a bit of funkiness to them.”
— Shirley from Edmonds, WA, September 29th 2006
“If there was one site that I would constantly praise for its sales and support when it comes to fonts - It would be MyFonts.com.
MyFonts.com is an excellent source for the best font prices, font search-ability, tools, font back-ups and service.
I have not found a place better than MyFonts.com and I don't think I ever will. Consider me a customer for life!
I refer everyone I know to MyFonts.com when they're looking for fonts.”
— Line from www.LineDetail.com, September 28th 2006
“Thank you to all at MyFonts. You're as welcome as a frosty beer on a hot Summer’s day.
No longer need I spend hour upon hour scouring type libraries for elusive fonts, nor work back late into the night; now I can get back to the far more pleasurable task of enjoying a quiet ale as the setting sun alights the sky. Ahhhh. . .
God bless you, MyFonts.”
— Angela from BrisVegas, Australia, September 13th 2006
“In my opinion, emailing will suffice for some technical questions; BUT never as well as a simple, easy, and short telephone conversation. Telephone inquiries do the job quickly, easily, and best understood--assuming the inquiry may be solved in any way.
MyFonts, like so many, prefers to lay back and take emails. That’s their prerogative; but I wonder where they are, and I think they'd get more business and generate good will if they would be so kind as to take telephone inquiries.”
— Ware Adams, September 8th 2006
“I have been purchasing my fonts from you for years and you are a definate factor in my business success.
Additionally, your team identified a typeface for me in about 2 hours! I was amazed.
Finally, your website is the gold standard. Your font-on-the-fly technology is brilliant, as well as being able to re-download previously purchased fonts.
Bravo!”

— Ric Scott, Apache Junction AZ, August 29th 2006
“The WhatTheFont Forum really saved the day. I had spent about eight hours using other site’s advanced font identifiers with no luck. Even though your image recognition feature is surely far superior (but couldn't recognize my obscure font), you have the ultimate backup resource in the form of the Forum members. Thank you MyFonts.com!”
— Bruce in Los Angeles, August 25th 2006
“This is the best resource for fonts I have ever found. I like the way you can enter sample text just once and see it appear as a sample for every font...nice. What’s more, you get samples of ways others have used it. I like that there are thousands of really nice fonts as opposed to thousands of fonts but only a few desireables. I love this site and will recommend it to all my friends. Thanks!”
— Sandra Younger from California, August 14th 2006
“I just want to thank you for WhatTheFont. It’s exactly what I've been looking for.
I've been on a quest for a particular font for months. For so ubiquitous a typeface, it’s proven elusive. But, after minimal effort (compared to browsing through dozens of font libraries), I managed to find out that my quarry is indeed Rosewood Fill from Linotype by using WhatTheFont.
While I have absolutely no idea how it works, it did, and remarkably quickly.
If only I'd discovered your site sooner.”
— Adam from Sound & Fury Records in Australia, August 13th 2006
“FINALLY, a site that offers both try-before-you-buy and font matching options -- amazing!

“Usually, I unsuscribe even from e-publications that have to do with my profession! But yours is so succinct and strightforward that I actually read parts of it. Of course, it’s also nice to see your samples of new fonts. What you said about small foundries being more responsive to current trends makes a lot of sense, too.”
— Emily McCoy, retired librarian, August 9th 2006
“This is my favourite font website! I love the way you keep a log of the fonts I have purchased in the past so I can download them again at a later date! I also love the way you can browse through fonts with your own chosen text shown in the sample. I actually enjoy receiving your ‘Rising Stars’ email as well. It’s a great way to get exposure to new and interesting fonts.”
— Ami from Australia, August 9th 2006

— Joan from Apple Valley, June 13th 2006
“With all the custom imprinting we do, there’s a need to re-typeset a customer’s logo now and then. We've had great success in matching our customer’s fonts with this site. With over 10,000 fonts in our system, it has saved us valuable time searching and matching fonts and has saved our customers hours in art charges!”
— Jon in the Art Dept., June 5th 2006

“SUPERCALAFRAGILISTICEXPEALADOCIOUS!

And did I mention customer service? You folks are awesome! Both times I have needed customer support the experience has been noteworthy, in the most positive sense.”
— Alison, National Gardening Association, April 17th 2006
“I happened upon this site through a Letterhead Fonts (Rare and unique)link. I have a client who wanted a particular font that was not on the other site, I assured him that I would be able to find it somewhere on the net, thinking that I had a snowball’s chance; I was pleasently surprised when I saw all these beautiful fonts. I found the font I was looking for; which now that I have seen this site I'm thinking of suggesting to my client to use some of these new dynamic fonts that would be so much better.”
— the dyslexic signwritter Australia, April 5th 2006
“I check Myfonts to see What’s New, and while doing so I just happen to check the What the Font Forum. Whenever I see a font that looks familiar, I tell the source of origin; however sometimes I may be off if so correct me because we like to accurate in our font origins.
My interest in typefaces goes back to when I was 4 years old back in 1968 when my great-grandmother bought me a bag of toys. Among them was a bunch of magnetic plastic letters and numbers which I played with more than the toys.
Here is a chronological summary of how it all began:
1968 Plastic letters and numbers
1970 Looking in Sears Catalogues and newspapers.
1974 Looking in Magazines.
1983 Looking in Old Magazines at the Cleveland Public Library.
1986 2 dry-transfer lettering catalogues I found in a thrift shop. Checking out books on typefaces at the library.
1988 Checking around at some typographers in the Cleveland area and getting their specimen books. Also found out about interlibrary loan.
1989 Checked around at some typographers nationwide in which I found out about Solotype, Graphic Compositions, Phil’s Photo (now Phil’s Fonts) and Photo-Lettering.
1995 I was givend a system to make dry transfers.
1996 I ordered a photo typesetting machine with some film fonts.
1998 I scouted around and came across a lot of 2 inch film fonts.
1999 I gave the internet a try at the Cleveland Public Library and discovered free fonts and started downloading the one that interest me on to 3 1/2 inch diskettes.
2005 I was given a computer from a member of church.
2006 Ordered some fonts from Myfonts.com.
The saga continues.
This WhatTheFontForum is fun!”

“I am in the printing industry 10+ years and in the Pre-Press department 3 years. I have taught myself all that I know and worked very hard to become the head of my department for the last year and a half. (some times ya gotta toot your own horn). Anyways I can't say that I have EVER come across a more helpful website then MyFonts. I just came across your web site after going round and round with a customer, because my font choice was close but not close enough to their original art work. I scanned in their logo and wa-la. THANK YOU!
Keep it up and I am glad I found your site I will use it for the rest of my life.”
— Rob Cotton at Carlos Printing Concepts in Kent, WA, March 2nd 2006

— Phil King, NY, February 24th 2006
“I have been using your “What the Font?” feature for the last 2 years, and since I found it I have never looked back!!
Before, it was a case of having to search through hundreds of fonts, either on my computer, through font books, etc, etc, but thanks to your site I can 99% of the time find the font I require much more easily and with a lot less frustration (as well as saving my eyes from going sore concentating on soooooo many letters!!)”

Thank you so much!!!”
— Maria Hauerslev, February 15th 2006
“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. After spending hours sorting thru other font sites I finally found one that meets (and exceeds) my expectations.
A) Most other font sites are link farms, affiliate junk, or just poorly set up. However, I found your site to be a great example of what a user experience should be like. I was able to navigate the site easily - things are well designed - I found what I needed, checked out and had my new font in 5 minutes! No hassles, no headaches, NO B.S.
B) The feature that lets us type text and SEE EXACTLY what our words would look like is BRILLIANT. I don't know how you create those images so fast, but this is the coolest thing I've ever seen when shopping for fonts.”
— Parma of roboteer.com, Dallas, TX, February 9th 2006
“I just wanted to pass along my compliments on your site. I just placed an order after searching multiple font stores over the past few days and your store absolutely blew the others out of the water in ease of use. The ability to preview the font using the text and size of my choice was outstanding as were the multiple search options. I even tried the WhatTheFont service and was astounded at the accuracy of the results. The rotating search tips above the search box is a great idea that I plan to borrow for my e-commerce business. I'm actually a bit sad that my search is over as I was having so much fun browsing, but I'll be back when I have a new design project. Great job!”
— Doug from Reno, February 2nd 2006

That’s fun for me!!!
Thanks for the great newsletters, too.”
— Joyce, Retail Shopkeeper and Printer in Florida, January 24th 2006
“A client gave me a jpeg of their logo, but at low resolution it just didn't work. The PR person didn't know the font or even the designer who created it, but when I uploaded it to WhatTheFont, it correctly identified it, and I bought it and had it downloaded in a minute. Our result was clearly higher quality than the other poor shnooks who just used the jpeg...”

The only thing I would like you to change is the way you present typefaces in the newsletters. The 3D-effect really bugs me!”
— Johan, Stockholm, December 15th 2005
“As a confirmed font-obsessed designer, your What The Font feature has kept me from losing my mind over a new-spotted font I just had to have on my very next project.”
— Betty from Macon GA, December 14th 2005
“MyFonts is one of the greatest services available to the design community. I enjoy seeing what is new in the newsletters. That being said, please stop using big drop shadows and bevel/embosses when showcasing new fonts. This is incredibly distracting to the specimen and a cheesy “design” trickery.”
— Josh from MN, December 13th 2005
“I really love MyFonts and recommend it to all my scrapbooking friends. The tools you provide are so helpful - this site is really well done! I can spend hours just browsing! Thanks!”
— Clara from Matter of Scrap in California, December 13th 2005
“For over a year I've searched high and low for the font used in our tag line from years ago. Another font agency referred me to MyFonts and lo’ and behold you had the font.
Words cannot explain how grateful we are to MyFonts.
Also, a very special thank you to Chris Dargue who helped me install the font properly.”
— Julissa from Houston, Texas, December 1st 2005
“Over the years I have become addicted to your company and am always looking forward for the newsletter.
When browsing - and shopping - I noticed that a lot of the fonts do not pass the crucial test drive "Aufhalten (ja, auf) Wolf? Torf Tell", i.e. this combination of german words inevitably shows the bad kerning of even very famous typographers, whereas sympathic small font factories, e.g. Scriptorium do very well. Couldn't you try this test on fonts before offering them to us?”
— Luise from Munich, November 14th 2005
“Great site! It is a wonderful discovery for Boston Lasers' Studio department - rich stock of familiar and new fonts! http://www.bostonlasers.com”
— Vadim of Boston Lasers, Woburn, Massachusetts, November 11th 2005
“Love your newsletter and the fonts you feature!”
— Danette from Cleburne, Texas, November 11th 2005
“Your Live Test Drive is a fabulous improvement. Congratulations, not many businesses make steady improvement. I bet you're making money!”
— Kira, from Omaha, Nebraska, November 9th 2005
“I LOVE your COMPANY!
You make my professional life easier!
You make my computer smarter!
And you make me remember the beauty and glory of FONTS!”
— Colleen Lynn, Seattle Washington, November 9th 2005
“I have to say - ya'll are the best customer service I've ever dealt with.
Thank you, truly.”
— Arla from Mt. Pleasant South Carolina, November 9th 2005
“I just wanted to let you know how much your service has already helped me. I'm a graphic designer from the old paste-up and glue days(huge reprographic cameras, etc) and not particulary computer oriented. So far, I haven't found the fonts I needed anywhere, but I've learned a lot more in the past few weeks about type faces, etc. than I knew in the last 25 years...
Great stuff and Thanks!”
— Ron S. of Austin Texas, October 20th 2005
“I get so much promotional email, and I skim or delete most of it. But I *love* your email newsletters. They're so well done, and I always come away with a new inspiration or two.
I'm doing more design work now, and it’s a pleasure to buy fonts from you folks.”
— Cathy from Portland, Oregon, October 19th 2005
“Just to let ya know how glad I am to find your website, and your font products. Finding this website was a highlight in my work day.
I do custom embroidery design and digitizing. Often my clients want something “expressive” when they request personal notes embroidered on pillows, and I'm excited to be able to offer them a fresh look at fonts.”
— Terry of MyPillowsTalk.com, October 17th 2005
“I love being able to reference my orders. Things happen, even though everything is backed up, and even Macs go south occasionally. It’s so nice to know that I can go to my account and re-download my fonts even a year or more later. This makes me, a graphic, web designer, and font collector, absolutely devoted to buying fonts from MyFonts.com, my first choice for buying fonts.”
— Theresa from Mesa Design House, October 15th 2005
“I found MyFonts last spring, when I needed to download Murray Hill to create menu cards for our wedding reception that would match the style of our invitations. When I established my account, of course, I started receiving your newsletter.
Normally, I hate newsletters. But for some reason, I love yours. I mean enough that I've actually forwarded them to friends.
I work in the communications group at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and lead education and outreach efforts for several research programs -- most notably one called "Tagging of Pacific Pelagics (TOPP)." (www.toppcensus.org). We talk a lot about newsletters, and I consider yours the very best example of how well it can be done.
I just thought you should know. Thanks for all your hard work!”
— Randy Kochevar from Monterey, October 13th 2005
“Having just discovered your website, I can honestly say that it rivals a guy’s fascination with strolling through aisles in a hardware store. Being of the “Letraset” generation, clicking through the typestyles was literally magic without a burnisher, but I was constantly nagged with the feeling that I was doing something illegal. Thanks for the experience, and hopefully I can repay you in the near future.”
— Stephen Salzberg from Hoffman Estates, IL, October 8th 2005
“I just wanted to let you know that you guys have the best newsletters! The time and effort that is put into them is very clear. I look forward to reading them each month.”
— Jacine from Queens, New York, October 8th 2005
“I just discovered your website and it is the best font collection I have ever seen! I often have to match fonts and am constantly looking for both traditional and new, creative fonts to use on projects. Your WhatTheFont is the best thing I've ever seen!”
— Melissa in California, October 5th 2005
“I came to your website to find a font to address party invitations. The font finder is an incredible tool. I was able to find an appropriate font that matched our printed invitations, and Voila!, I'm now on my way to creating a completely professional presentation to our guests. As a non-commercial user, you've made my one-off project a cinch. Thank you ever so much!”
— Valerie from Chicago, October 2nd 2005
“I've downloaded fonts for many years and you really do have the best selection anywhere. You also make it very managable to download and use immediately with no problems. Your newsletters are also a great way to keep artists updated. Thanks!”
— mhaey molina from phil., October 1st 2005
“I'm so impressed with MyFonts! You folks have saved me so many times. Your “What the Font” tool is absolutely brilliant. I will be telling all of my fellow designers that you rock!! Thank you!”
— Heidi from Portland, September 18th 2005
“I've downloaded fonts for many years and you really do have the best selection anywhere. You also make it very managable to download and use immediately with no problems. Your newsletters are also a great way to keep artists updated. Thanks!”
— Lorin from Mill Valley, California, September 15th 2005
“Thanks so much for all your great fonts! I've been designing for years–trying to come up with new ideas is always a challenge-and MyFonts has allowed me to be more creative than ever!
Petras Script is so cool!”
— Karen in Glenmoore, PA, September 14th 2005
“This website is fantastic, I have used it twice and both times come up trumps. The first didn't give me the exact font but by uploading a couple of characters I got a hit on the font family.
Cheers guys.”
— Craig NZ, August 18th 2005
“I was reading about “Photon, Inc” and found your site very interesting. I worked for this company and am the last one with continuous employment through all of the different mergers etc. So many changes over the years.”
— Doug Micklon Salem, NH, August 17th 2005
“You guys Rock! What the Font is the first thing I turn to when I can't remember the name of the font.
Thanks for making my life easier.”
— Rob Houston of Phoenix, Arizona, August 16th 2005
“As a graphic designer I am constantly matching fonts for certain jobs. With the font market forever growing it is getting harder and harder to match fonts.
With your “What the Font” forum I have saved countless hours in searching and recognising fonts...Well Done!”
— Sarah from Australia, August 11th 2005
“I had several less-than-educated guesses, tried another site four times and got nowhere. Ran it by your site and it was nailed the first time. Awesome!”
— Bob Turner, Dunedin, Florida, USA, August 2nd 2005
“Absolute beauty! Rather than countless hours of frustrated searching through countless typefaces... 10 minute cut & paste from an old logo to create the image upload and WhatTheFont came through in spades! Correctly identified the font I required on the first try in about 2 minutes. Where have you been all my life?”
— Jeff, Edinburgh Scotland, August 1st 2005
“The fact that font subscribers can, at any time, download previously ordered fonts just might be one of your strongest sales tools yet implemented.
It’s obvious, but often forgotten in times of computer distress, or computer change-overs.”
— Donald from the Blue Ridge, July 26th 2005
“As a graphic designer I think that the service you provide is one of the best tools I have to work with. I think too that what you guys do is so great because it can educate so many people that have no background and knowledge about the history and the development of typefaces since Gutenberg. (Now I am getting a bit too philosophical.)”
— David Avidor of Oakland, California, July 21st 2005
“MyFonts is a god-send, my client needed a revamp to their disintegrating/compressed logo (ASAP of course), and had no idea what font the logo had been using for the last decade.
MyFonts saved me hours of path creating.
Thanks!”
— Richelle from Toronto, July 7th 2005
“This is absolutely the most wonderful web site I've ever seen. Whoever started this was a genius. Thanks!”
— Eve of Danbury, CT, July 6th 2005
“Your site is absolutely addicting, and I find myself buying and downloading fonts in the middle of the night. This is even better than buying SHOES!”
— Marcy, Southern California, July 5th 2005
“This is the best, can't live without, site ever! Having access to fonts I have already purchased has saved my butt more than once! I'm not big on religion but...God Bless You Guys!"”
— Susan from Dolores, June 29th 2005
“A friend of mine at Abbeville Press recommended your company to me. She said this is the only place she buys her fonts. When I called her to tell her how quickly you'd responded to my problem - and successfully, to boot - her response was "I'm not surprised. That’s why I like them." But I'm surprised - and pleased! Good customer service (unfortunately) is very rare these days.
Thanks for all your good work.”
— JoAnne from Brooklyn, June 23rd 2005
“Job Well Done!! This is a fantastic site for identifying fonts and/or font logos. It is a great pleasure to visit this site and receive timely responses from fellow professionals and non-professionals alike whom are all font enthusiasts like myself.
I am a professional graphic artist who has always had an extremely keen interest in fontography, knowing that ‘typestyles have feelings too’.
Knowing that this site has a wonderful array of members from around the world and an extensive library of fonts to confer with is an undeniable pleasure only a true font enthusiast can admit to. It is a great feeling to be able to utilize this site’s availabilities.
Thank you to all whom made this site a terrific place!!”
— John from Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, June 6th 2005
“I absolutely had to write to you today because I have never been so impressed with a website in my life. I am working for a client who had what looked to be a seemingly easy logo to recreate. However, I spent over three hours trying to locate his font and was becoming a bit more than frustrated. I tried a font search questionnaire on a different website and it did not get anywhere near locating my font. I tried your “what the font” program and had an answer inside of an hour. Wow what a breeze and how cool is that to have real people identify what to them is an easy and common font. An absolute pleasure. This will be my first and last stop in the future for all of my font needs.”
— Tom Richard from tomrichard.com, May 29th 2005
“I have to say I think your site is the best!!! It is very easy to navigate and use. What I love most is the ability to test the font in my choice of words. When trying to come up with something for a new logo or even client websites it’s nice to be able to test the font before deciding. I had also forwarded the site to a freelance graphic artist I use and she said she already uses the site and loves it as well.”
— Raechelle from Orange County, California, May 23rd 2005
“I just wanted to thank you for offering a fantastic website. Our company has been purchasing fonts from a competitor of yours who was unable to provide a specific font, which you do offer. A google search brought me to your website. I found your site much easier to use, friendly and clean in presentation. You also have a much more encyclopedic collection of available fonts then I have been able to find anywhere else. I was able to present an exact list of fonts we needed to our General Manager, then brag that we would be getting them for a much better price then we are used to seeing. Ordering was simple and quick, and immediately I was able to download and put the fonts to use.
You have become our first resource for any future font needs.
Thank You! from a very satisfied customer.”
— Kristopher from New Albany, May 19th 2005
“your site and fonts are great.
but your newsletters are terrible - why are all the fonts beveled and drop-shaddowed? hard to see the actual font.
ty”
— Ty, May 17th 2005
“Just thought I'd tell you your font finder software is blooming brilliant!!”
— Richard Turnbull, Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK, May 12th 2005
“I have been on your site many times in the past year or so and it’s always the first place I look when I'm looking for new fonts. And I'm sure you've heard this before, but... ‘What The Font’ ROCKS! I've never seen anything like it! What a great resource. It has helped me on a number of occassions with identifying some really great fonts I had seen in print or other places online.
Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on a truly user friendly website that could not be more fun to use and more helpful. Great work!”
— Peter from Rhode Island, May 12th 2005
“Today I received your In Your Face March 2005 email.
Well, I have to say, I am now ready for Font Freaks Anonymous.... I spent the next five hours sleuthing around all of the categories in MyFonts and through each of the individual foundries....
I enjoyed my journey and came up with a number of fonts from diverse foundries which I will probably purchase.
Thanks, it was a well-spent AND delightful afternoon.”
— Deborah from San Francisco, March 25th 2005
“After recently browsing your site and finding a font that I was interested in, I looked at purchasing options and found it was in CDpack that made it a more economical purchase. That is, until finding out the shipping cost ($8.25) which came in over 25% of the cost of the CD package itself ($29.95). For someone used to shipping costs for CD media at other online stores being quite reasonable, this was a bit of a shock and was extreme enough to make me abandon the purchase. If your goal is to discourage physical product purchases in hopes of encouraging downloadable purchases, you succeeded on the first part, but in my case, failed on the second. While your site is appealing and easy to use, that shipping cost made the difference in my decision not to purchase from your site.”
— J. G. - Atlanta, February 26th 2005
“This is simply the most useful thing on the internet. I used to spend literally hours (well, ok, an assistant used to spend hours) trying to track down which font was which for logos and broadcast design for TV spots. You'd think that at the rates these producers charge they could get the info...
Long story short: THANKS!”
— Todd in Los Angeles, February 21st 2005
“This is the first time I purchased fonts from your company and I have to tell you that it is the BEST font website that I ever encountered. (I have been a graphic designer for many years so I have seen many sites.) I LOVE the feature where I typed in the “test drive” word and I could see it displayed in the whole font family! I was able to make immediate comparisons and decided on my selections quickly. You have designed a fantastic site that makes my job easier. It is now at the top of the list in my bookmarks. Thank you!”
— Julia of Moscow, PA, February 10th 2005
“My girlfriend bought some invitations and asked me to find a matching font for address labels. I have never bought a font before, and after struggling through a few web sites looking for the font without any luck, I found www.myfonts.com
I was actually amazed at how easy it was to navigate the web site and view samples until I stumbled upon the “exact” font that I was looking for, yes! Registration and purchase was also a breeze, and I can't wait to try out the ‘WhatTheFont?’ application in the future....
Kudos to your webmaster/designer, and kudos to your content manager. I am certain you will continue to receive my business for years to come.”
— Gregory of Marina Del Rey, California, February 7th 2005
“Wow! This is great! I have a new client with a very distinctive typeface and in seconds I had my answer!
Thanks VERY MUCH!!”
— Gloria from Woodland, WA, January 21st 2005
“Just a note of thanks...your WTF Guru Forum rocks! I had a response in minutes. Another font site wanted to charge $20.00 just to identify it. My client and I are eternally grateful. Hope I can help someone some day and return the favor.
I'll never shop for fonts anywhere else!
Your Ever-Loyal-Customer,
Jennifer”
— Jennifer, January 17th 2005
“You are wonderful.
At first I glanced in to see what you were about. I miss the days of decent type...a lot.
I tried to be helpful, and realized how much I've forgotten. And to think, I use to own and run a type shop - living, breathing, eating it 24/7 a week.
Then today, I had to duplicate a quick logo. I knew that I knew the typeface - but couldn't remember the name. Oh, it was something like a Lithos, but not... I went to your site and uploaded it - it asked me to identify a few of the letters - and next thing I know, I was being shown a complete alphabet of ITC Tempus Sans.
Thank you so much. I'm glad I found www.myfonts.com”
— Jackie, December 30th 2004
“You should know that you have THE very best site on the web for fonts!! I refer everyone I know!”

— Monique, September 1st 2004
“Just a quick note to say, thanks!!!
WhatTheFont has just saved me many, many pounds in searching for that elusive font.
The quick recognition, search, purchase and download was soooo easy.
Keep up the great work.”
— John from London, August 8th 2004
“Out-of-hours I'm a ... Stage Manager for ‘Zodiac Amateur Operatic Society.’ I also write, edit, design, publish and print Zodiac’s posters and programmes. I'm not an artist or a print professional but a keen amateur who wishes to know how to do the job properly. And that--of course--includes fonts. Understanding them, choosing them, and buying them. One of my rules, which also applies to books and software: if it’s worth using then it’s worth paying for.”
— Roger Turner of Frodsham, U.K. (winner of an Indie Fonts book), July 1st 2004
“Through out the years, I've maintained my freelance through the State of Mind Design. I enjoy creating a client’s message, look and feel. MyFonts.com makes creativity with type easy. Keep up the good ideas.”
— Marilyn Stephens of Treasure Island, FL (winner of The Cambridge Collection), July 1st 2004
“Cooking, decorating and entertaining are my hobbies. My husband and I belong to a gourmet dinner group with four other couples who get together at each other’s homes every other month. I am in the process of planning, coordinating and catering my oldest daughter’s wedding. With all these ‘jobs’ to do, finding the perfect font at your site made my day and took one more item off my to do list. Thanks!”
— Lynn Garcia of San Diego, CA (winner of an Indie Fonts book), July 1st 2004
“Your newsletter is excellent. I look forward to receiving it on a regular basis.”
— Robert from La Canada, CA, June 3rd 2004
“Thank you so much for such a delightfully informative and succinct newsletter. We are all overwhelmed with too much information offering too little. How refreshing your approach is!”
— Mary of Key Largo, FL, May 5th 2004
“Okay, it’s about time I let you know what a pleasure it is to receive your newsletter. Of all the newsletters I get (and I get A LOT on a daily basis) your is one of the most pleasing. It comes not too frequently, it contains not too much info, the info is relevant, and it’s always fun to read.
Really, truly, when it pops into my mailbox it makes me smile because I know I'll get something out of it.
Thanks for doing such a great job all around. I recommend your site often.
You must have some really nice folks working there!”
— Helene from Vancouver, April 13th 2004
“So the newsletter got me drooling over fonts. Went to the site. Spent over $200 on yummy grungy fonts that make me want to stay up all night redesigning my next mailing.
Thought you'd like to know.”
— Linda in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, April 7th 2004
“I can honestly say that I never visit the web sites of other commercial font sites without wishing they could be even a fraction as attractive, fun, or user-friendly as yours. Kudos to whoever designed yours, and thanks for the hard work and the philosophy that makes such a design possible. Love your newsletter, too.”
— Isabelle, April 6th 2004
“I just want to say, ‘wow!’ what a site. I am amazed at its completeness and detail. If I ever need a font, you will be the first company I will order from!
Let me add that your site gives easy access to details about an incredible number of fonts and font families; it goes way beyond the much less functional sites of other font, foundry, and line setter sites that I have seen.”
— David Spector, October 2nd 2001
“I just want to let you know how great your site is. Having lots of fonts to choose from is one thing, but you folks made it incredibly easy to find the one I needed.”
— Liz Siemers, September 29th 2001
