Thank you so much for more choices in fonts. 😍

On the document you have given us a list but the top of the list says "not the entire list". The second choice is the same as the first. Do you have more to share?

I do like some of the new fonts, and have added them to my "favorites".

I am sorry to see that the "picture" fonts are no longer listed.

Since I'm heavy into creating for weddings, I'm a little disappointed. I had hoped there would be more modern serif and sans serif font families suitable for wedding invitations. The few of the new fonts that might be suitable for a serious wedding invitation don't come with any range and only come in a single weight. It's kinda sad that out of  these thousands of fonts, if you don't want calligraphy (and many brides don't these days), I can count on my fingers the ones that are suitable.  It's frustrating to keep using the same ones over and over.

That being said, I'll certainly enjoy the new fonts when creating for anything other than weddings and I appreciate the hard work that's gone into this.

I think (and am hoping I am correct here) that there is a plan to update the sans and serif fonts more soon too. I agree this is super important. Having a full range of weights of a font (thin, light, reg, med, semi bold, bold, black, etc of the same font) and some more options for even "basic" sans and "basic" serif fonts is very important for card and formal (and even casual tbh) invitation design. so I am with you here.

I am not sure if this rollout is the final rollout of new fonts? Any mod care to confirm or chime in?

Excellent. You guys are knocking it out of the park this year with all the new fonts.  It makes the platform that much more competitive.

THANK YOU James & Company 🙂

Please make a few videos about how to use the swashes.

nice addition. Would still love the ability to set the stroke of fonts, please. 🙂

The new fonts are really fun, cover a wide range of options and trendy styles. LOVE THEM! Thank you!

One thing I do still wish for, similar to what was mentioned above, is some more FULL SETS of standard fonts. Cormorant is the closest to this so far, but would love more options.

A few classic serif fonts with about different 5 weights in regular, italic, bold, all caps options. (Paying special attention to the numbers that go with it - an option with ascender/descender digits, and a font with fixed-height numbers) (Expand the offerings for Georgia, Vidaloca, or similar?)
A few modern sans-serif fonts with 5-6 weights in regular and italic. (expand the offerings for Futura, maybe a Century Gothic set, or similar?)
Multiple weights on some script fonts.

And I'd love to have the option to pick auto/optical/visual kerning for a text box, similar to InDesign.

And the ability to add a stroke to text would be great!

Liking this group much better than the last one - lots of more interesting serif and sans to choose from. Thanks much-o.

Great to see a more diverse selection of fonts (not just the handwriting ones)!

would be cool if under the Fonts choices in the Zazzle design tool, there was a listing for New (or Recent) Additions at the top (or near the top).

I am so happy to have more and more font options. I have been begging every so often for years now so I am thrilled. lolI remember the early days of barely any font options and not even having the tools to space letters ( we would type words with spaces between the letters! haha) so I am happy to see the continued updates!

 

I would still love the font tool to have the option for us (and the customers) to set ALL CAPS or not. Or even faux bold and faux italic if we can't have those weights and styles for some fonts.

and an open type fonts character panel would be AMAZING so we can work with glyphs and swashes that are built into OTF fonts, instead of the cumbersome workarounds we've discovered.

Also parroting the request for more selections of basic sans and serifs with a wider range of weights and styles.

Maybe also when you open a the font menu that it jumps you to the font selected in the menu, if you have a line of text selected when you open the font menu (I could be forgetting that it does do this, but I feel like it was something that I was wishing was a thing recently, so maybe it doesn't)

Several of the new fonts are ones I have on my computer because they're suitable for specific types of images. I'm so happy to see them here too. Thank you!

Thanks to you and your team for obtaining more beautiful fonts. Much appreciated!

Wonderful additions!  Only request I would have is the ability to have a favorites folder we could put our say 25 most used fonts for faster designing.. we could take time to go through fonts and collect favs.. to be used later not having to locate them again..  is this possible? 

lewister

There is a favorites function already. Added sometime earlier this year. Just click the little star to the left of a font name and it will be added to your favorites folder.

Deb

Sweet! I didn't know that.. thank you.. how long has that been there.. ?? boy do I feel dumb - LOL

Since the font update we had a few months ago. At the same time when we started to have to click twice to change the font from one to another, this star favorites thing started.

I also do Postcrossing!


Windy
Honored Contributor II

by the way, the adding to Favorites is not that easy, but it can be done. When you click on a font inside design tool, you see a grey star. You need to click on grey star to turn it black. Now that font is a favorite.

I also do Postcrossing!

Wow!  You're not kidding when you say a lot of fonts.  Thank you so much!   I'm happy to see a few swashes and glyphs, as fonts, you have listed there.  I'll have to try those.  But, @James , the link that has pictures of the list of fonts, only has 60.  The second page (that I can see) is a repeat of the first.  Can we get a complete list?  TIA -Laura

...Or at least a "New" folder category, so we can get used to so many new ones to play around with.  😊

Thank you very much! I have a suggestion for fonts:  it would be great to be able to make words entirely flexible (like a wave).

Slightly off topic:  please make it possible for designs and patterns to be resized or automatically resized and sharp (not large but blurry) inside Zazzle rather than having to take them to another site to be resized. 

Thanks again!

Love all the new fonts!! Adding another vote for multiple weight font families (reg, bold, italic, bold italic, small caps, etc) especially serif and sans serif. The ability to add a stroke to text AND make upper/lower case without having to retype text would also be awesome.

It was a really nice surprise! I think it added a lot of fun and creativity boost for all designers. Recently I have played with some of the new fonts and think they are an upgrade in the outcomes of designs. So many moods, expressions, and styles possible. Now to get to know them!

I'm excited to check out all the new fonts! Best of all, is the recategorization- the new categories are MUCH better, for script and handwritten!

Like others said above, we do need some new fonts families for serif and san serif suitable for weddings and business. It seems like a lot of this new crop are quirky and handwritten fonts, which have their place, of course, but I rarely ever use them (I see a few nice vintage/ Western styles that I'll probably use!)
