I have been racking my brain trying to find a face that would be suitable (and look go with the characters at hand) for a new pop artist.

I need only the word: Nichole Deborah OR nichole deborah

I'm thinking something either thin geometric or humanist, or possibly a script.

I have found a lot of great things, but nothing that looks appropriate with her actual name set in it.

This will be the masthead for an upcoming album release.

It needs to be graceful, stylish, mature, and slightly feminine.

I'm attaching a promoshot of the artist for reference.

Any thoughts you have would be ver helpful.

We have around a $150 budget for the font.

Hmm.. any way to view these characters set in Coquette??

I must be hung up on this face. Anyway, try Chalet Paris 1970 here:

Kyle,

Have a go at my site and see if you find something. I'll be glad to customize something as well if you find any typeface interesting enough as a base to work from...

Stefan --

I love the fonts, but there is really nothing there close to what I need for this project. :-(

unknown

Kyle,

"I love the fonts" is good enough for me. Good luck with it all ;-)

So she is changing direction on me... we are looking at something more "hand written" now...

Im at such a loss for what to do... I have looked through SO MANY scripts, its just such and odd character composition... hard to find something that looks right.

So, on to script/hand writing suggestions ;)

unknown

Kyle,
Get her to write it, or write it yourself (if you can make yourself "graceful, stylish, mature, and slightly feminine"). So much more effective than making a font look like handwriting. Of course, the problems come when you have to produce a lot of literature.

maybe some scripts that could help. I hope it helps

Tim Daly -- Here writing is horrible. ;)
I have considered this. If it was only for the mark, then that would be the best. But her request is that we do titling and such in it too.

unknown

I know she's now requesting a script, but perhaps a Didot influenced face will have the graceful, stylish, and feminine properties she wants.

Here is a sample of Perla from Veer. This sample was typed in as "NichOlE dEBoRah" to get the corresponding small caps:

Alejandro --

What re the names of the 2nd and 7th in that list... they might be the ones!

Thanks

kyle i'm sure these are part of veer's Charles Blumelin Collection
#7 is Miss Le Gatees but didn't check on #2.
Browse the 3 collections for some great script stuff.

unknown

Hmm.. I found it, is there an avenue where I could just purchase the one script?

unknown

i believe you should be able to purchase the faces indivudually. in fact, you can purchase just the one font from the link i posted above (the second one).

Or for something a bit more customized... you could have someone digitize some of the artist's own handwriting... just an idea.

unknown

Heya Kyle
sure! all the fonts are able to licence individually!

Number 2 is Mr Sheffield from Veer's March release Bluemlein Scripts collection part 3

And number 7 is Mr Leopold from part 2

I hope it help! (sorry for my english)

unknown

Alejandro - Could you list all the fonts in that list? Particularly #3?

unknown

subimage, #3 should be 'Amorinda'..

Kyle take a look at Emigre's Dalliance Italic. Its not script but its distinctive and reasonably priced.
