I was doodling away with a sharpie pen on a rainy day.
Hey… wait a minute. A rainy day, a font called Rainclouds… Yep, that’s right, it is called Rainclouds for that reason! ;-)
Rainclouds is a fat marker font with a lot of texture and a lot of mouth.
Mainsail is a handwritten brush script font. It is casually written with dry brush pen, so it has this nice texture and flow. Mainsail has lots of alternates to make it look more like real handwriting; four sets of lower cases and two sets of upper cases. Mainsail is great option for logos, headlines and packaging. You can also use it in longer texts where you need this casual handwritten look. It will also combine well with sans and serif fonts.
Mainsail has OpenType features that automatically makes text look more authentic. Discretionary Ligatures replaces other of two identical letters following each other. Contextual Alternates will unleash the full cycle of the alternates. It will cycle all four lower case sets to make the text look as natural as possible.
Mainsail has also underline strokes in separate font called Mainsail Swash. It includes combined 52 different underlines, strokes and circles. With these you can add the final punch to your design.
Fudge Sauce is a fun font duo from Blue Vinyl Fonts!
Fudge Sauce contains the following opentype goodness:
Contextual Alternates
Let's start with the starting and ending lowercase letters! Sentences with only lowercase typically need some oomph. The starting lowercase letters add impact and balance. Lastly, the lowercase endings finish words off nicely. The lowercase L gets an entry stroke where needed to add balance.
Swashes
Swashes can be turned on and you shouldn't have to worry about collisions. If in a rare situation you get a swash that doesn't play well with others, just highlight it and turn off swash for that character. You can also just drop in swashes manually.
Ligatures
Ligatures will add variation with some common double letter combinations. Turn on Ligatures and swashes and the double lowercase t will come alive!
Alternates
There are alternates that can be manually selected from the glyphs palette. Highlight a letter and check to see if there are any alternates that can be applied.
Stylistic Alternates
With stylistic alternates on, you get a traditional double story uppercase and lowercase Z.
Ornaments
There's a few brushy swoops. These need to be placed manually in a graphics program.
Language support is broad for both fonts and extends to the Central European market. Fudge Sauce contains 784 characters and Fudge Sauce Caps contains 366 characters.

Last year I walked half of Offa’s Dyke path, a long distance trail on the Welsh/English border. Walking the trail, I came across a beautiful stretch of forest with a lovely name: Cadora Woods. Cadora Woods font was made with a Japanese brush pen. It sort of looks medieval and a friend of mine suggested it would be the font of choice for maps of ‘The Shire’. I guess that is true, but I am convinced you can come up with some innovative uses for this font!
