I was actually looking for Cochin, but the school's photoshop didn't have it, so I settled. I like Constantia because its clean and easy to read, but it's just stylized enough to be unique from the boring, standard Times New Roman. The letters are slightly fatter and spaced, making it a pleasant but readable change of pace.
2. Eras Light ITC
I think I downloaded this font for my portfolio, but I can't remember if it's what I ended up using. Oh well. This is my "text" sans serif font because while it's pleasing to look at and easy to read, it also has a little bit of minimalistic funkiness to keep things interesting. The lines are straight and thin, but when you look at how elegantly the curves in the lowercase "g" and "a"s, it's clear this isn't your grandma's font.
3. Eccentric STD
Unfortunate name, this is my first "display" font because I can imagine it as the text for a Greek diner sign, or maybe a frat party. It has hints of anachronism but manages to look modern, and its tall, thin letters make it interesting to look at. The next time I host a toga party, this will be the header font for my invites.
4. Hurry Up
Don't tell me what to do! This font is technically sans serif, so I went with it. I've slept a total of 5 hours in the past 48. Moving on. I like Hurry Up because it's chunky and playful, with comforting geometric shapes that remind me of my childhood while not making me feel childish. Know what I'm saying? I wouldn't want to read an analytical paper in this text, but as the header for a website or the logo text for a company? I'm on board.
5. Neuropol
This font makes my nerd sense tingle. All I can think of is how this would be a perfect Star Trek font. In fact....
