This font is an Alice and Wonderland font. That is why I picked it. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS/MOVIES AND THIS FONT LOOKS NICE. I chose monochromatic colors first because I like my stuff to have theme and be clean-loooking. The red is for Blazers. I joined my letters because they looked cool swirled next to each other. This font was made by Marco T.L. and he modeled it after Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland.

I chose this font because it lookes good with the lava lamp. I like the colors because they are bright and colorful and theyre cheery colors. I made my monogram separate because it wouldnt fit any other way in the lava lamp.

You now know that most typefaces were designed for a specific time and place for a specific application - which typeface speaks for you? Why?Carol Twombly’s 1989 Adobe Originals typeface. I believe this type speaks to me because I am very proper with a twist. The serifs are pointed and have a sharp flair. You also know that colors have distinct attributes and personalities. Which ones fit you? Why? The color green really speaks to my personality because I have a lot of hobbies and I have many interests. What type of Monogram did you make, separate, interlaced or joined? What made you choose that style? My type face is joined and I chose this because i thought it was very structural and clean, with an artistic flar for emphasis.
