Our Finding of fact

Nice however light-hearted, Designer's Daughter is a fount that plays well at bigger sizes.

Inspired away the formal hand of architects, Designer's Girl is delightfully precise, yet lighthearted and not in the least bossy. Architect's Daughter is a TrueType fount you could use at larger text sizes (14 spot) and encounter nary problems with legibility, or use at poster sizes to enjoy the detailed edges of the letters (the bantam serif at the end of the upper case E, and gentle slope within the center apoplexy of the F, for instance).

The slightly bump off-scale width of some letters, like lower case o and c, and upper lawsuit B, D, and R among others; plus the non-mirror image get down case b and d seem to care the legibility. Indeed, many experts cite these differences as things that can make a typeface cushy to decipher, especially for early readers and people with a handicap such as dyslexia.

When you need a friendly font, appear to Architect's Daughter. IT plays especially intimately in large sizes.

The lower case a and g in Architect's Daughter also are handwriting stylus rather than letter-press, similar to Comic Sans, which is a gain to novice readers. Although Architect's Girl may seem nonchalantly handwritten, 377 accurate kerning pairs help move over it a sensible cleanness that expands its usableness. However, still pass IT through the suitableness filter: Just like Funny Sans, this is not the font for memorial signs or dangerous markers.

Architect's Daughter includes full upper berth and lower case glyphs, plus Numbers, punctuation, and accented characters; all at 400 (regular) weight. It's fully installable, allowing you to embed the Architect's Daughter font in documents ready for other users to install. Designer's Girl is free for personal use; for commercial use, touch designer Kimberly Geswein.
