  3. Bonnyface

    1. Felt Tip Roman
    2. Good Times
    3. Swing Dance

    And not necessarily in that order.

  4. Ian S Carr

    bd colonius
    English Small Caps
    Good Times

  9. Ariel

    1. English Small Caps
    2. Swing Dance
    3. Lobster

  17. Han

    1. Felt tip Roman
    2. Good times
    3. Aviano Flare

  18. Kyle

    They’re all good, my vote goes to these three:

    1) Good Times
    2) Aviano Flare
    3) Felt Tip Roman

  22. Rachel Keslensky

    I like Lobster, but I think the focus should be on picking fonts that are distinct from what’s currently available, so…

    DEFINITELY keep Baroque,
    EITHER Good Times or BD Colonius (Both have a Sci-fi vibe)
    EITHER Lobster or Swing Dance (Heavy brushpen fonts)

    My least favorite of the lot is Graveblade, but again, diversity is good, and it’s certainly a different font, so it would be my fourth pick.

  24. Paul A.

    English Small Caps
    Lobster
    Swing Dance

  29. Anton Suprun

    I like Aviano Flare, Good Times, Lobster and Swing Dance.
    But what I would really like to see is at least one monospace font.

  32. Jonny Rhodes

    Definitely..
    1. Aviano Flare – Clean, stylized designer font
    2. Felt Tip Roman – Fun, cartoon creative font
    3. Swing Dance – Can rarely go wrong with script

    Nice to see a poll giving the users a choice in what is included in the about.me service 🙂

  33. Derek Erb

    1. Felt Tip Roman
    2. Good Times
    3. English Small Caps

    I think each of these 3 fonts are the type of fonts which are currently missing from the service and would be excellent additions.

    Thanks for asking!

  34. lauraglu

    Great to hear feedback from everyone, though I am a bit bummed there aren’t more votes for my favorite, Graveblade!

  35. Jonny Rhodes

    Graveblade would be a great font for names and headlines. Possibly for musicians or other creatives.

    However, I’m sticking with:
    1. Aviano Flare
    2. Felt Tip Roman
    3. Swing Dance

  36. Erica

    1. Swing Dance
    2. Lobster
    3. English Small Caps

  37. Eric Wilborn

    Aviano Flare
    Felt Tip Roman
    Good Times

  38. Nathalie

    1. Aviano Flare
    2. Swing Dance
    3. Good Times

  40. Spyridon Kagkas

    Love the bd colonius, can see my self having some Good Times and totally eat up that Lobster for a starter (title).

  44. William La Mont

    1 – BD Colonius
    2 – Graveblade
    3 – Aviano Flare

    P.s I love the comments font! It’s so smooth ^_^

  47. Veronica

    I’m digging the last three:

    1.Lobster
    2.Natalya
    3.Swing Dance

  49. gabriellecyw

    1. English Small Caps
    2. Aviano Flare
    3. …more choices please?

  50. Wil

    English Small Caps for sure! Maybe Natalya Alternate One too.

  51. Bryan Levay

    While these are some good selections (i quite like Aviano Flare, and English Small Caps) what i’d really like is a way to set up a kit from my own typekit account! I’ve used a few faces that you don’t offer (Brokenscript, Skolar, FF Tisa, and FF Nova) to define my identity in several places across the web, and it’d be nice to be able to keep that consistent here too.

  52. joe

    why not add all of them? more the better!

  53. Gabe

    1. Felt Tip Roman
    2. English Small Caps
    3. Avino Flare

    Great job About.me Team!

    Keep up the good work.

  57. Drew

    1. Lobster
    2. Swing Dance
    3. Small Caps

  61. Eric Hammond

    Why not make them all available, perhaps in a “more fonts” section if you want to keep an uncluttered initial list. I’m still interested in using the free Ubuntu font on about.me: http://font.ubuntu.com/

  62. lauraglu

    We haven’t determined a final number but there are some clear standouts here.

  63. Elphie

    @lauraglu I’m with you there on more votes for 1. Graveblade.

    Also lovin
    2. Baroque
    3. Aviano

    I’d say they’re all great, just get rid of the 3 *least* voted for, these will be used everywhere! 😀

    Would love a feature of my sexy profile crafted by one of my 16yr old designers! : about.me/elphie

    😉

  66. Shawn Collins

    Can I vote?

    1. GRAVEBLADE
    2. Lobster
    3. Swingdance

  70. ElShaddai Edwards

    Swing Dance
    Aviano Flare
    Felt Tip Roman

  71. Jake

    1. English Small Caps
    2. Aviano Flare
    3. Felt Tip Roman

  77. kyle westaway

    1. English Small Caps
    2. Aviano Flare
    3. Good Times

    BTW… Please add Baue Haus Neue and Helvetica Neue Ultralight

  78. Cathie

    1. Felt Tip Roman
    2. Swing Dance
    3. Aviano Flare

    I think they’re all legible, but just a “little” funky!

  80. Ivo

    Typekit has so many better fonts available, even some for free. I’m sure that they would even help you finding them. To be honest, I’d rather vote for none of the listed ones. If I really had to chose, I’d vote at least for Felt Tip Roman, even though it won’t be a good choice for most serious profile pages.

  81. Edward Ford

    1. LOBSTER -Any font called Lobster has to be a winner!
    2. English Small Caps
    3. Felt Tip Roman

    But they are all pretty cool 🙂

  82. lauraglu

    Our goal was to get a selection that differ from our current fonts. What area do you think we are missing, and what font would you recommend?

  83. Ken Paulsen

    Like the idea of polling the community about new fonts. Shame the font I’d really love to see (Yanone Kaffeesatz) isn’t on the list, but here is my list among those who are:

    1 English Small Caps
    2 Aviano Flare
    3 Felt Tip Roman

  88. DasRakel

    1. English Small Caps
    2. Good Times
    3. English Small Caps

  89. Marko Ranđelović

    Here are my favorites from the list:

    1. Aviano Flare
    2. bd colonius
    3. Good Times

    But I would really like to see League Gothic. 🙂

  92. Alex den Haan

    1. English small caps
    2. Good Times
    3. Baroque – Lobster – Graveblade

    Classic, Modern and Rock, fonts like music 🙂

  94. Jacob Drabik

    01 Lobster
    02 English Small Caps
    03 Good Times

  95. Mo

    1. Felt Tip Roman
    2. Good Times
    3. Swing Dance

    And not necessarily in that order.

  103. Rachel

    In no particular order,

    Swing Dance
    English Small Caps
    Baroque Text

  106. Harim

    1. Aviano Flare
    2. Felt Tio Roman
    3. Good Times

  108. Torben

    1. Swing Dance
    2. English Small Caps
    3. Felt Tip Roman

  116. Bruce

    Aviano, English Small Caps, Good Times

  121. Christina maki

    1) Aviano
    2) Lobster
    3) Swing Dance

    Swing Dance seems to be a favorite, so I really hope it makes the cut! I love it!

  125. Todd

    Font = Typeface + Style + Size.

    Arial, bold, 10 is a font. Arial is a type face.

    And yes, it’s still wrong to call a typeface a “font” even if everyone else is doing it.

    Do your part to fight ignorance today!

  133. Michael Laine

    Felt Tip Roman
    English Small Caps
    Swing Dance

    In that order. If you pick Felt Tip Roman, then I will change my current page. Thanks.

  136. Jessi Brown

  179. Gustavo

    I’m not sure how the vote system will work, but I would like to see a mixed set of fonts.
    So far, Aviano and Good Times are the top voted, but, they are both sans serif. Next time, you should categorize the fonts to get the best sans serif, serif, cursive and (please please please) a monospaced font or you could end up with 3 fonts that look alike.

  185. Mike

    I like all of them, but for my top 3:
    Aviano Flare
    English Small Caps
    Felt Tip Roman

    Thank you for adding the additional features!

  186. Mauve

    @lauraglu re: @Anton’s monospace request: Here are a couple of good options, in my order of preference:
    Botanika Mono Web
    Anonymous Pro
    Adaptive Mono
    It would also be great if we could change the default weight of the fonts in the name and headline from normal {font-weight: 400} to something lighter and more elegant or heavier for greater impact.

  188. Gabrielle

    I like fonts that are very readable, so the content shines through:

    1. Aviano Flare
    2. English Small Caps

    I also like

    3. Swing Dance,

    although I think it’s pretty similar to Corner Store.

    But I love that you’re adding more options, whatever you choose!

  189. Andrei

    Aviano flare
    English sall caps (Really pretty!)
    Lobster / Swing Dance (whichever gets more votes)

  191. kellen

    1. Graveblade
    2. Felt Tip Roman
    3. Good Times

  193. Sarah

    Anything but Felt Tip Roman…bleck. You might as well add Papyrus.

    But seriously, why add only one or two? Add them all!

  194. A. Kinder

    I like ALL of them! Choosing the top 3:
    1. English Small Caps
    2. Felt Tip Roman
