is it just me or is every single thing right now in a big chunky seventies serif font? don't get me wrong – that's my favorite poo poo right there – but it's become really ubiquitous. I guess after years of nothing but sans serifs and cutesy handwritten fonts, big chunky serifs were bound to make a comeback. But drat it's like every single thing I see now.

That could potentially encompass a large number of things, but makes me think of https://velvetyne.fr/ this place, which came up in the PMF Fonts thread that I have been neglecting to shepherd but will plug here.

Just want to make sure people know that if you pay for Creative Cloud, even at the $10/month Photoshop and Lightroom tier you get full access to Adobe Fonts which is easily the best value service they offer. Thousands and thousands of professional grade fonts with commercial licensing, though the interface does suck rear end.

Hey, font-thread. Got this place recommended in the small questions Ask/Tell thread. I would like to do a small project for personal use (gift for a friend) that uses this image from an episode of Futurama:  I want to make a larger, higher-quality, version of the "Boring Geology Lecture" sign/image to turn into either a sticker or two, or just like a high-res print. I will likely have to do that myself, but it's a simple enough design that I feel confident I can recreate in an editing program. I'm not a skilled graphic designer, but I think I can do two piecesof curve text, vertical text, and two vertical lines. But the sticking issue is the font. I went to whatthefont.com and it suggested it's Posterama Pro 1933 which does seem close... not perfect, but likely close enough but it's listed there at $40 (Although I'm assuming WhattheFont is trying to overcharge me and it might be cheaper elsewhere or part of, like, an Adobe CC package?)   I just have regular Posterama on my machine, and it's not good enough, the lines are too thin, IMO. So I guess two-fold question: 1) Does that indeed look to be Posterama 1933 Black and 2) What's the easiest/cheapest way to get that font (or whatever font is actually is) Thanks!

Imo looks hand lettered - it’s really uneven, feels kind of inconsistent. I think you can get a reasonable approximation with Tourmaline Bold, especially if you’re willing to edit a couple letters like that C: https://www.dafont.com/tourmaline.font?text=BORING+GEOLOGY+LECTURE&psize=s

Anyone have recommendations or guidelines for a good font to pair with something from the IM Fell family of fonts? I’ve searched through Fonts in Use, but nothing is grabbing me. Graphic design is not my passion

Depends a lot on your use case and what you're trying to evoke. Generally I like contrast -- I pair serifs with sans, something silly with something straight-laced, etc; but sometimes that's not what the project calls for, and I really want to go all out on something being very over the top or really nail a specific period or mood.

Thank you! Project is a book cover: book title in IM Fell English and I need a font for the author name. I was looking for a sans serif, but they all seem too modern? Especially when stuck near the title.

It's not a lot to go on, but for something that evokes an older epoch you could try a blackletter font. Based on what I am seeing looking up IM Fell, it might suit the era, and would give you something with a heavier weight and a different sort of feel to it.

I'm making a fake deed/title/legal document thing as a prop for a game. The game is unspecified time period but something that looks like how a state would send a deed or a birth certificate. What's a good font (possibly two fonts, one for the title and the other for the body)? I'm aware real legal documents just use times new roman but this is a prop so it should look legal-fancy and cool.

Caslon is a good shout for much of the text. For the title a lot of these kinds of documents use blackletter fonts; I don't have a specific recommendation for you but if you search the term you should be able to pull up some decent stuff. Some places use Copperplate Gothic for their official documents but I think it looks kinda trashy.

Especially when stuck near the title. Just use another font from the same family? Less is more. If you have to, use English for one and Small Caps (SC) for the other.

Look up blackletter fonts for big headers and pair it with something like this for the rest of the text: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/p22-franklin-caslon
