Three Rising
Stars Every month we sign up new foundries who provide new, innovative fonts. In this 15th issue of Rising Stars, we want to show you three of our top-selling new fonts.
Fleurie
is a decorated script and comes in a package of two fonts.
Fleurie has decorated capitals and sparingly decorated lowercase letters.
Fleurie Plus has heavily decorated capitals and plain lowercase letters. Mix and match as you please!
Tandelle
opts for balance over modularity without looking cheap. When appearance
is everything, Tandelle handles any situation from print work to
video with pizzazz.
Chato Band is a cursive script font. With slight imperfections between characters, it has unique ink-drawn and vector elements. It comes in 3 families: Chato Band Regular (with the inked look), Smooth (a clean version), and Space (a hybrid design).

Did You Know?
When using our site,
do you find fonts that are almost what you need but not quite “right”?
We recommend that you try out our “More Fonts Like This” feature.
| 1. Simply search for the kind of font you want, such as “star-trek” or “klingon.” |
 |
|
| 2. Next, select a font that interests you, such as Sonic. |
 |
|
| 3. Then click the “More Fonts Like This” icon. |  |
Like our Font Albums, the “More Fonts Like This” feature is a great way to get ideas on fonts to use for all of your important projects.

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 Gf Script No 5 from Gigofonts. The design is a classical roundface script with first and last letter alternates and ornaments.

Gf Script No 5 is the latest in a series of related Gf Script designs:

Last month we featured Esta as one of our three Rising Stars. Esta is climbing up the charts on the Best Sellers list! Very elegant and refined, with several styles, including upper and lowercase ligatures for both regular and bold versions, as well as an expert version for use in tables and graphs, Esta is a typeface family that can be used at all sizes.

“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.... 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 from Marina Del Rey, California
