Thanks for sharing your point of view. I am really entertained that you like it so much that you’ve chosen to use it as your default font. It just goes to show that everyone has different tastes.

I confess, I still have yet to read the book….it got pushed aside for others.

Note that Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister has it as a way more readable size than Wicked does. I couldn’t read Wicked very easily, not because of the font, but because it was tiny.

I ran across your post about your hard drive crashing on your blog. Losing all of your personal files must have been very hard.

I’m getting ready to design wedding invitations for my good friends. I’ve been extremely interested in what others have done. As soon as I find time I will sit down with me sketch book and start the process. I’m really looking forward to it.

It was a fairly simple invite, just 8 1/2 x 3 3/4″(ish) which I printed myself on my laser printer. Of course, I had to make my life difficult by creating a folder for it with one paper on the outside and another on the inside. Then I embossed a translucent band with a monogram I made of mine and my husband’s initials and wrapped it around the whole shebang. We had a tent wedding on Cape Cod, and Truesdell felt right — not too fancy, not too casual.

Thank you for stopping by, I’m glad you enjoyed the post. I’d be interested to see those wedding invitations, Truesdell is a very unique choice.

Excellent post, Karly. You took an observation and turned it into a really nice lesson. I’ll be back!

Thank you very much for that info. I agree it does look very much like Truesdell and the history of the font was very interesting as well. Now, maybe, my mind will be at ease.

I think I’ll add your blog to my links. I’ve enjoyed it so far and am sure others have something to learn from you.
