Heritage Scrapbooking-Fonts

[ProudMom2Boys]

I am working on my Genealogy/Heritage pages and would like to know if anyone that does these sorta pages, has a font they prefer. I'd like it to look vintage/handwritten, but still legible.

Thanks in advance for your input and ideas.

There's a font called Jane Austen that I like using for those kinds of pages. I'll post more when I'm back from my morning run.

Here's the Jane Austen font: https://www.pia-frauss.de/fonts/ja.htm

That same creator has a number of other fonts on her site you can check out.

Thank you Caylynn! Can't wait to look through and use some of these.

Hi Robin, I saw your post earlier this morning and then while looking through Kristmess' alphas, found this wire alpha that I will most certainly use on an upcoming heritage page. Love making heritage pages as it makes the old photos come alive and makes the photos more interesting to those in the family who are not into genealogy!
