Very dated and period specific, but still, I think they would be cool to have in Microsoft Word. I like Googlehoffer the best.

GGJaguar,
Feh!
There is not one font here that I'd use for anything.
They all honestly look to me like they were designed by a graphic designer's "talented" ten year old nephew.

Yakovenko for those sweet Pink Panther vibes.

I'm really into graphic design, and I love period typefaces. These perfectly exemplify the fun 60s decorative typefaces used for posters and illustration. Like secndshft, they take me directly to a bunch of cartoons I grew up with -- Pink Panther, Hanna-Barbera, etc. Fun!

They take me back to my days in public school, having to get book covers for all the books. Anyone remember book covers? Lots of these fonts on them, etc. After a while I made them out of paper bags, my parents were sick of buying them!

We did the exact same thing with brown shopping bags, and after a while I eventually outgrew the superhero book covers! Now I miss them. :C)
