Barocca Monograms and Nelly Frames from Tart Workshop / Crystal Kluge

It always makes my day to hear about new fonts and goodies from Crystal Kluge of Tart Workshop. I was certainly stoked this time around when she let me know that she has not one, but two, fantastic new additions to her ever growing menagerie of beautiful fonts, which includes Nelly Script, Nelly Script Flourish, Carrotflower, and more. I think I know of two fonts that you’ll be seeing soon in the Fontly Five!

Swoon … Barocca Monograms is a real stunner, isn’t it? The flourished calligraphy letters would look exquisite on wedding invitations and personalized stationery.

Nelly Frames Font Tart Workshop

And there’s a new addition to the Nelly family! Nelly Frames is the perfect compliment to all of those typographic lovelies that you’ve created with Nelly Script and Nelly Script Flourish, and the frames can stand on their own or with additional fonts, as well, for a variety of creative projects. Interlocking corners, sides, and centers combine to create a practically endless number of different looks.

Nelly Script + A Freebie

Nelly Script Font

Nelly Script Font

I adore lettering artist Crystal Kluge’s work, and I was so excited when she gave me a heads up about her latest releases, Nelly Script and Nelly Script Flourish. Drool … I absolutely love the hand drawn look and romantic feel of both, and I think that they would be at home on any elegant card or invitation. And, if you don’t have room in your wedding budget for custom calligraphy, I think that either font would be perfect for envelopes and/or labels. Available at MyFonts and Font Bros.

Crystal has also created the darling cootie catcher featuring Nelly Script (above), available as a free, downloadable PDF over at her site, Tart Workshop. Thanks for sharing, Crystal!

Darling Monograms Font by Crystal Kluge

Darling Monograms Font

When I spotted the lovely monograms on Black Pearl Press’ stationery, I was reminded of this lovely font, called Darling Monograms, by the fabulous lettering artist, Crystal Kluge. I’ve been meaning to mention it for quite a while, and this provides me the perfect opportunity. This font makes me want to go and monogram everything, and I love that it includes hand drawn frames that perfectly compliment the lettering. $29.95 at Font Bros. and MyFonts.

Veer Umbrella Type Collection

I’m hopelessly addicted to fonts, so anytime I visit a site that sells fonts I know how it’s going to go. I initially intend on spending a few minutes checking out new and interesting fonts, and I end up looking around for hours with a list of 100 new fonts added to my wishlist. So, it’s no surprise that this is exactly what happened when I visited Veer’s Type section the other day.

I’m a complete fangirl when it comes to script, calligraphy, and handwriting fonts, and Veer’s Umbrella Type collection has me in full on drool mode. The Umbrella collection is a group of typefaces hand picked by Veer to give larger exposure to fonts created by small foundries and independent designers. I couldn’t just choose two or three to feature, so here’s a whole bunch that would be perfect for wedding and other invitations, graphic design projects, and general font collecting:
