Best fonts for word books?

I got a Bind it All for Christmas! and am looking to start making some word books.
Do certain fonts work better than others? What fonts have you used and loved for your word books?

Thanks for your advice! ~ Evelyn

For this wordbook, I used the font "Aachen"

I think this font is "Ariel Rounded Bold"

I don't remember the name of this font.

This font is called "Stencil"

This font is "Aachen" again.

You can use almost any font, but I usually use the bolder fonts.

Thank you for your reply. I'm going to try one soon.
Also, my son is in the marines, and I snagged your marines word book. It's awesome! Thanks!

I make a lot of wordbooks and I use Captain Howdy that I downloaded free. If you use the shadow letters for the wordbook and weld it to the shape, it is very similar to Storybook Cartridge. The I change the letter back to normal and it fits over the shadowed letter very nicely. Hope this helps!

Captain Howdy is a great looking font. I just downloaded it for my PC. Thanks.
