FONT FRIDAY :: Reina

Font Crush : Reina  

 

From the designer :

 
 

"Reina, a didone font, inspired in the sweet letters of calligraphy and typography masters of our past; such as Didot, Bodoni and the incredible Herb Lubalin.  Aiming to incorporate the decorative accolades from the Blackletter and Copperplate styles of calligraphy into a Modern Roman typeface." [MAXIMILIANO R. SPROVIERO]

 

Reina means 'Queen' and you can see the regalness of the font coming through with the swashes and ligatures - 

Numbers with alternates?  Sign me up please!

Reina was designed by Lian Types (one of my favorites!) and is available here.

  As you may have assumed I have a thing for fonts. They come in all shapes and sizes with elaborate swashes and elegant details. The right font can easily make or break a design. Every Friday, I’ll share some of my favorites and recent purchases here, hoping to inspire a typography addiction in everyone.

For additional font inspiration check out these ladies: Jenna from Little Bit Heart, Lauren from Lauren Elise Crafted, Steph from Bubblerock, Jenny from Hank + Hunt, Kerry from Super Swoon , Jen from Blush Printables and Alexandra & Craig from The Aerialist Press.

I try to keep my font sheet updated with recent purchases, but if you see a font you love on here and would like to incorporate it into your designs just let me know!

FONT FRIDAY :: Alana

Font Crush : Alana 

 I'm partial to any fonts that have a 'calligraphy' feel, but I have a strong feeling this one will be making its way into my collection soon!   The font features three sets of uppercase letters and hundreds of alternates giving it the ability to really feel like a handwritten font.

Alana was designed by Laura Worthington and is available here.

Winter Inspiration Shoot

I recently had the opportunity to work with a few very talented ladies on a winter inspiration shoot.  The shoot was designed and organized by Sarah at Daisies & Pearls, Jessica at Nothing Bakes like a Parrot provided all the delicious looking desserts (I was so sad I wasn't there to taste them all!), Meredith at &Unlimited took all the wonderful photographs and a number of other Maine-based vendors provided some of the lovely details that helped to pull the shoot together. The inspiration for the shoot was an icy blue, metallic silver and gold juxtaposed with natural elements.

This shoot was recently featured on Elizabeth Anne Designs, you can see the post here, and then even more images in their Gallery!
