Cooper Black is my go too font but I also use Word Art ( a font, not the Word Art built into Word. For a different look I use Baltimore. There are some tiny cuts and the letters have "feet".  With this font, you have to put in your own bridges. I usually get everything where I want it, then put bridges in the first of each letter that needs one. I copy and past the first so that they all look  the same. Hope this makes sense.

Many of these have built in bridges.

Thanks for the list Pete. I had not seen the Scroll Beach font before so I found it, liked it a lot and wanted to try it out. Here is the results.

Other than script, most of the fonts I use, I use all  caps. This is one of the few I like the looks of the small letters too.
