Favorite font for decals

I just wanted to poll for people's favorite fonts for decals. I experiment a lot everytime I send something to Decal Connection. Does anyone know a good site for free fonts? I've got some great irish ones in the past for free.

Thanks,

Dave McGraw

Brooklyn Kid is my favorite. It's a Graffitti font.

Google search "Free Font" and you'll have all the free fonts at your disposal.

My LH Custom Rods logo is in Brush Script MT Bold, the rod information is in Times New Roman Bold, and the customers name is in Kunstler Script Bold. All are standard fonts and decalconnection has all of them.

I use a font called "scribble" to name the rod, or the rod owner. Then I use "Times New Roman" to identify the rod and the blank manufacturer, if it doesn't come with a sticker.

Christie Font. They have it. It is a little fancy but not outrageous. I got it in "Print Shop"

For my customer's name, I'm using Linus Script. For my logo, I'm using Tabatha. Still trying to decide on the rod info decal font. I'm all ears on this one.

I use French Script for my logo and Times New Roman for the rod info.
