Looking for Script Fonts

Calford

Hey all,

I don't have a great script library and could use some help. Most of what I have is either too formal/ornate or too grungy/handwritten. I'm looking for something that is authentic, somewhat formal, italian/wine label-esque but contemporary.

Any ideas would help!

Thanks

Where does Hipster fit into (or not into) your specs?

Authentic AND wine label-esque? Ooh: that’s a toughie…

Authentic in what context?

The Hipster fit is a little too brushed casual for what I need, but I like it. I'm ultimately looking for a font to use now, but long term would really just like to build my script collection so any suggestions would help.

I was looking at something like http://www.losttype.com/font/?name=lavanderia
Something sort of in that vein. I like some things going on with that font, but some of the swash caps were a bit much.

--Authentic in that it's a somewhat traditional script without having too much of the ornate cursive (like chopin).

Might I suggest Lavanderia WITHOUT THE SWASH CAPS?

Yikes, what a fail.

I was just looking for a few suggestions even if they were relatively shots in the dark. I guess I came to the wrong place :/

Thanks for responding anyways

Have you looked at Sudtipos?

Thanks Karl - There's a lot of quality scripts here and also nice to see them in use.

And don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass on the way out…

Jesus Hotrodding Christ on a sailboard! @oldnick, hie yourself to the hospital and have yourself scanned for brain tumors, stat! (That's ER-grade stat, btw: "Right this very bloody moment or I'll make you watch 72 hours of Teletubbies!")

What about the Typophile (temp) logo?
