Recently I have seen some designs that used fancy fonts with parts of the letters that have a sort of flourish. For example, a capital R might have the right leg of the letter elongated, with a little swirl at the end. I am guessing a commercial font was used for the fancy letters, but I'd love some recommendations for cool fonts with ornamentation. I already have and love Samantha, which is a commercial font. I bought Monroe, too. Any others you can recommend?
For examples of the kinds of fonts I am talking about, go to the Silhouette Design store and put one of the following design numbers in the search box:
108328
105733
35930
100998
For the record, these are all designs I bought. I am more than willing to buy designs already available. But I would love to find the fonts used, just because I really like these types of fonts, and so I can create my own titles and phrases for projects I want to do.
TIA!

No one has answered, but for those who love cool fonts, there are some good ones on Mighty Deals right now. Not the same as what I was looking for, but good prices for several nice fonts.

There was a great site listed on the Scrappy Black Friday sales thread. The site had a ton you could download for $7. Check that site out bc a bunch of them had those flourishes! You can probably still get the fonts you want, but the $7 deal was a limited time price.

I only looked up the first two, but I'm fairly certain they are both Desire. If the others are a different font, lmk and I will get off my lazy butt and look at them, too. |

Thank you, Gennifer!
It looks like it is $25 off. Now I need to decide whether to buy it now or watch for a better deal on that font. I really like that one, but I had no idea what the name of it was, so I really appreciate your posting.
I've been looking at the glyphs for the various Uppercase versions of Desire and comparing to the last two designs on the list. They are similar, but I can't find an exact match.
However, I am just happy to have the one font identified. I think I will need to buy that font.

Yeah, those two are definitely different fonts... Not ones that jump out at me, unfortunately. You could try posting it on What the Font and see if someone else can identify them.  |

I don't know if anyone else is interested in this font, but I finally caved and bought it last night. You get all 13 of the fonts in the Desire font family. Normally it is $99, but is currently on sale for $74.25 at My Fonts.
I used to think it was stupid to purchase commercial fonts when there are so many freebies out there, but if you ever want to use a font for something you want to sell, even for items in an Etsy store, you need to use a commercial font, not a freebie. The free fonts are typically free for personal use, which means you can't legally use them on a product that you sell. There may be a few exceptions, but it holds true for most free fonts.
This was my Christmas present. I'm pretty sure DH hasn't had time to shop, and since we're getting ready to make a major move in five months, I really don't want more "stuff" that I would just have to pack in a box or that would take up room in my house in the meantime. Win-win!
