Hey gang,

I need some opinions. I am working on a site for a grantmaking group and they are requesting a more "contemporary" font than the one I am using here.

What would be a more contemporary font?

problem with fonts like that is the more style you have the less thickness
some i have always liked are "bd merced", "park drive" and "Aunt Judy"

yeah, it's working for me now.

By contemporary, I assume they mean more mordern, less of the cursive, "frilly" look. What is that one - looks like Monotype Corsiva?

The problem is that font can be pretty subjective. I'd suggest trying 3 or 4 different ones and bouncing that off them.

Contemporary: 1. belongs to the same period 2. up-to-date

I would say that in this instance they mean a modern font, possibly less script like.
