 Decorative

 

Decorative fonts are designed to be strictly eye-catching. They are fun and great for all kinds of special occasions, but use them sparingly.

 

 

Decorative fonts have a sincere quality that seem to dictate their use in a narrow range of situations. To undermine this, trying matching them with content in unexpected ways. Try an old west font on a corporate job or for a flower shop. Casting against type (haha) can have surprising and satisfying results.
