title: Decorative Display Alphabets: 100 Complete Fonts (Lettering, Calligraphy, Typography)
author:  Dan X. Solo 
description: <div>For this practical archive, noted typographer Dan X. Solo has compiled a diverse assemblage of eye-catching, highly decorative light, bold, and open fonts. (In many fonts, the letter themselves are decorated&#8213;with lacy or leafy frills, snowcaps, stripes, tiny flowers, and sundry other elements). Each font has at least a complete uppercase alphabet; most are accompanied by such extras as a lowercase alphabet, numbers, punctuation marks, and more. Ideal for a myriad of graphic projects, the fonts include these attention-getting faces: Acantha, Aeolian Black, Caprice, Currier, Decorette, Flemish Wide, Greco Adornado, Lion, Mystic, Posture, Safari, Zinco, and dozens more.<BR>Graphic artists, illustrators, and designers will find this treasury of typefaces ideal for bringing decorative dazzle to signs, posters, newsletters, notices&#8213;almost any printed message.</div>
