Californya is a 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’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.”
