Times are tough, pennies are pinched, purse strings are pulled tight. It’s Friday.
Let’s go imaginary shopping for fonts.
What would you buy if money was no object?

The complete collections of Fontshop and Font Bureau. There are probably some others worth considering, but those two would keep me covered until they go out of style.

Fontshop would cover vllg and Font Bureau and Shinn Type and Psyops and a lot of other favorites so I would buy that also. Then I would need a way faster computer and an assistant with a very good memory to remember what fonts I have.

That’s kind of like wishing for more wishes.

It’s the oldest trick. I can’t believe Aladdin was so stupid.

Sharon - Unfortunately from Village we only carry Underware. Most of the Village fonts are exclusive to the co-op.

I have FF Kievit, and it’s definitely worth purchasing. I especially like it for larger pieces of text. :)
