Californya is a new premium vintage-inspired hand-drawn script created by Germán Olaya (available at My Fonts), which I think is breathtakingly beautiful…and well worth it’s premium font price of $20 ($19.95)…or an extended set of 8 fonts for $40 ($39.95). I don’t have any advertising on this site, so I’m happy to say that my appreciation for this font is completely unbiased!

I’d love to know what you guys think too (just leave me a comment). And, just for fun, if any of you lovely folks end up purchasing and using this font, please, let me know and I will happily update this post with links to your projects and/or sites…

My Fonts: “Believe it or not, sometimes the best fonts for a job are the least readable ones. Californya is a script that at times defies legibility, but does so in an intriguing and strangely stylish way…based on several manuscripts from the 16th century, and completely reinterpreted with a vast series of characters drawn by hand, each character is full of rich details, capturing the expression and style of a true calligraphy.”
