Choosing the right font for your layout should first be made by the function it plays in your layout, titling or journaling. Then think about the mood you are trying to convey. Are you going with a serious look, playful or a natural look? Type is emotional and can provide perception. It’s kind of like choosing an outfit to wear, you dress according to the occasion. Just as an outfit projects an image, so can a chosen font. Choose theme-related fonts for your title, that are meant for just a few words. Choose a simple and legible font for the journaling/story text, such as a typewriter or handwriting font.

So let’s take a look on some seasonal fonts, going with Autumn fonts, since it’s Autumn here in the States.  And we’ve chosen fonts that are all free downloads, because we all like free, right?  Just clip on the font name below and you’ll be directed to the free font for download.
