I still get nostalgic thinking about my first foray into the world of blogging about type. It was late summer of 2018, and I couldn't wait to share my passion for fonts with the world. I compiled a list of my favorite fall-inspired fonts, crafted a short post, and hit publish, hoping to spread some love to fellow design enthusiasts who, like me, appreciate the art of typography.
With my social media duties done, I packed my bags and headed to Atlanta for a well-deserved summer finale. The city's vibrant energy was the perfect antidote to the impending back-to-school season blues. When I returned home and logged back to my social media accounts, I was taken aback by the surprise awaiting me. My first font post had gained traction on social media! The pins were piling up, and people were actually interested in my humble list.
This small but significant surprise marked the beginning of my online journey. It was as if I had stumbled upon a secret world where people shared my enthusiasm for typography and design.
From that moment on, I was hooked on typography. I continued to craft posts that poured from my heart, connecting with others who shared my interests and passions. And though that first font post may have been more than modest in scope, it set off a chain reaction that has brought me joy, connections, and growth.
As I look back on that serendipitous moment, I'm reminded that even the smallest creative endeavors can lead to life-changing experiences. Who knew that sharing my love for fonts would be the starting point for an incredible adventure?
It's been said enough. Now it's time to dive back into the fall tradition. Get cozy and discover new font pairings in this blog post. Here are my favorite combinations to evoke the warmth and coziness of the season.
