Three Rising
Stars Every month we sign up new foundries who provide new, innovative fonts. In this 7th issue of Rising Stars, we want to show you three of our top-selling new fonts. Jon Cary is inspired by designer Jeremy Dooley's discovery on the Internet of a handwritten note written by USA presidential candidate John Kerry. Decon from Phat Phonts is a great grunge font, perfect for headlines on posters, newsletters, and T-shirts. Dominique is a newly available font from Canada Type.

Did You Know?
MyFonts offers
a powerful set of searching tools designed to help you find exactly what
you're looking for, fast — even if you don't know exactly what
you're looking for! A search box is at the top of every page. Enter text in this box to search by:
| Descriptive
keywords. This is the best method for a general search.
Keyword search lets you enter any words you feel describe the font
you're looking for, in everyday language. For instance, you might
try "elegant formal," "wedding invitation," or "flair."
|
 |
|
| Font names.
If you know the name of the font, just enter it in the search box
(e.g., Garamond). To narrow your search, enter just the font family
name (such as Garamond), not the font weight or style (Bold, Italic,
etc.) |
 |
|
| Foundry names.
If there's a particular typeface design company you like, just enter
it in the search box (e.g., TypeSETIt). |
 |

Every day we feature a different font on the MyFonts home page, a great reason to come back to our site. Last month one of our most popular featured fonts was Ruly, a new font from Enrich Design. Designer Richard Hubbard states that “Ruly is my newest font creation. My roommate in college always had the coolest writing. I thought it deserved to be a font. The font is a great choice for newsletters, cards, etc.”
