I love working with text, like making text portraits and playing around with individual letters, but when it comes to choosing a font I'm hopelessly indecisive. So, here's one tool I sometimes use to help:
Unfortunately in this case it was no help at all.
So I went browsing through DaFont. I wanted something a little retro, but heavy (it's a bulldog, after all). I came up with a few possibilities. Some I knew right away were not going to make the cut, but that's what choosing a font is like, you see a sample, but when you get it into your project you wonder how you ever could have looked twice at it.
Here they are:
 |
| Anchor Jack |
 |
| Captain Swabby |
 |
| Capture It |
 |
| Market Deco |
 |
| Scorched Earth |
 |
| USSR Army |
 |
| Walrus Gumbo |
Still can't decide.
Captain Swabby and Scorched Earth are definitely out.
At first I almost tossed Walrus Gumbo, but the longer I look at it the better I like it.
Someone else might be tempted at this point to ask the client their opinion.
Let me tell you: DON'T EVER DO THAT!
Just trust me.
As if I wasn't clueless enough, I went back for more:
 |
| Black Hawk |
 |
| Chippewafalls |
 |
| Muffaroo |
 |
| Titulo |
 | |
| Immerman |
What do you think? I like Muffaroo because it's dog-worthy, but I'm not sure it goes with the style I'm looking for. The other two I'm leaning toward are Anchor Jack and Chippewafalls. ...maybe Immerman...
Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!
