Your Advice, Please On Fonts

[Kevin C. Redden]

Hi folks: I'm not sure if this is a good place for this, so if it isn't tell me to drive off, and I will

 

Anyway, I'm setting up my roading section of my web site, and would like your advice on the start-page's fonts. A place I found here has some nice fonts. I pre-loaded it with the title, so you can get an idea of how it'd look on my site.

 

What fonts do you think conveys a feeling of history, before say 1960s or such. The one section of my site, deals with traveling over the old backroads, to see things you won't see on highways. Things like covered bridges, museums, an odd mailbox, a surprise that you didn't expect. Think of the movie 'Cars' as an example too.

 

I've got an idea for about a dozen fonts, but need to really narrow it down. Thanks for the help!

Kevin,

Sure looks like you've been busy! I'll look through those some more and give you my favorites, for what that's worth. One of my favorites is "US Highway Font", which is modeled after the font on the first generation US highway shields. I had to wipe out my computer a few weeks ago and forgot to save it, but I think the wife still has it, so I'll get it from her and pass it on to you.
