I am not a fan of Brush Script - it sits beside Comic Sans MS in my Never Use font bin.

Can I suggest some alternatives to consider? All are free for commercial and non-commercial use.

Anke Calligraphic is a casual handwriting font.

Aquafina Script is a formal script font.

Variane is a classic script font.

Thank you for your suggestions but, unfortunately, the Association decided upon the font many years ago and will not change

The other font used in the letterhead is also unknown to me. Are you able to identify it, please?

That looks a whole big lot like Comic Sans... if you don't recognize that one, you're a lucky person!

Moem is correct, the second sample is Comic Sans. It is a shame the Association selected two of the worst fonts to use. It is a bigger shame the Association is set on using them - it screams the logo, letterhead, menu, whatever was not created by a graphic artist or designer.

Please do not let them see Papyrus or Comic "Parchment".

I think Comic "Parchment" is fun font. It is a mash up of Comic Sans and Papyrus. Good for all the wrong reasons, but never suitable for actual use.

Nope! I didn't recognise it. I have to confess, though, that now you have pointed it out, I dimly remember in a previous life (when I wasn't ancient ) I had used for something.

No, I think it was the choice of the Secretary of the Club, who held that position for about 30 years.Who knows, over time, I they may be open to a change in design. Any ideas of a good font to use for a letterhead?

Neither appeal to me. I usually stick to Times New Roman for any printed correspondence required.

Recommending a change in design can lead to hurt feelings if the person who designed the logo and letterhead is still active in the organization. But if they are open for change....

I would look for a font that is easy to read and scales well. If they prefer a script font for the logo, I think Variane would be one to consider - it is clean, easy to read, scales well, it has a 'we can be fun' look to it, and it should play nice with other fonts.

For the text part of the letterhead - address, phone number, contact information - I would go with a standard font that is easy to read and scales well. I am partial to Helvetica and Palatino. Others I might consider are Futura or Univers for a sans serif, or an old style serif like Garamond or Times New Roman.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will keep them in mind and, who knows, one day a change may be made.

Culver's uses Brush Script.

I like Brush Hand, and in fact somewhere in the Net, someone took the font from some original materials, cleaned it up, cleaned up the kerning data, and re-released it as Brush Hand New.

Font Squirrel is a good source for many Libre-licensed fonts, or just free fonts.

As much as I can, though this isn't always possible, I use Libre fonts (SIL, etc.) instead of those with more encumbered licenses.

I ran across a video a couple years ago of type designer Matthew Carter giving a TEDtalk and think some of you folks here might appreciate it as much as I did.

Oh, tenfoot, FYI...
