Im in the market for some new fonts. Mr Antonelli's are amazing! Im definately going to buy them (as soon as a few straggling customers pay up.. grrr!) I need to get new script fonts this is where i am confused... which ones do you reccomend. I like the Mike Stevens originals and am thinking about purchasing them also. What are your favorite script fonts?

Bob Beohonek's "Chicago" from Sign DNA. I always admired Bob's work and especially this style. I adapted a version of it for one of my own personal scripts, so naturally when I need to cut vinyl this one is my first pick.

Yes Ryan, SignDNA has them all. For scripts, Magic, Happy and big medicine take the cake and for some nice looking "chuck on" Staton bold is a beauty. Vasona is a font that you can do quite a bit with as well. It has a lovely loose feel to it. So many to choose from. I think I am ready to buy some more as well now. It gives me a feeling of a whole new life when I buy new fonts. I just love it.

Hey Dan, I haven't been to the site in a while, but none of your fonts are scripts are they? hmm.... how about a prismatic script? combined with your HOT san-serif fonts ...hmmmm....smokin' layouts dancing in my head

I thought about a prismatic script font, but wondered about the logistics of connecting the letters properly. It would be ok one letter at a time, but then I think you'd need to weld the connecting points and see how they would match up.
Hmm.., I wonder if its even possible. It would be cool though. I think a few Stevens faces prismatized would look killer. I'll talk to Dave about it.
Not sure if I have it in me though to do another complete set. Maybe one font. They are very time consuming!

Hey Dan, Hmm..... your right the dark on the bottom of the letter would need to connect into the right side of thre stroke of the next letter. You would run into a kerning problem I think
