Three Rising
Stars Every month we provide new, innovative fonts and sign up new foundries. In this 22nd issue of Rising Stars, we want to show you three of our top-selling new fonts. Ellida is a new ornate script from Wiescher Design. The designer tells us while he enjoyed making the font, the creation process was extremely time-consuming. It is quite a challenge to make calligraphic letters work on computers so that they join perfectly! 
Designed with comedy in mind, ZOOOM is a chunky, comic book sound effects font with personality! ZOOOM would look great on everything from birthday invitations to packaging for toys. For added wackiness, the uppercase characters are staggered on the baseline. ZOOOM comes in two weights, regular and italic. 
Sonora is a new family in the OpenType Pro font format. It comes in six styles: light, medium, bold, and the corresponding italics. Sonora is a very distinguished, elegant and versatile script font.

Did You Know?
The first
of the year is a good time to buy new computers or upgrade current ones.
We often get questions from our customers regarding fonts they lost when
switching computers or when their systems crashed.

Last month we featured Ultimate Ornaments as one of our three Rising Stars. Currently #27 on the Best Sellers list, this font contains 47 beautiful, decorative ornaments, all easilly accesible using the punctuation, number, and letter keys on your keyboard. It was inspired by the decorative elements supplied by European foundries and printing companies in the 18th and 19th centuries.
If you like fonts by this foundry, we have a number of fonts from Gerald Gallo that are new to MyFonts in the last year: |

“I searched for 3 months on so many other websites for an Old English Font. I had no luck until I found this website. I was able to find the Collins Old English and it is exactly what I need. Your site is AWESOME! Thank you!” — Renee from Pennsylvania, January 8, 2006
