New QuicKutz alphas = font hunting for me

There were new QuicKutz alphas released at CHA-Winter today. So I got started on the hunting right away. Since I have a Cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot, I rarely buy QK alpha dies anymore. The font is usually cheaper, and the font has more characters than the die sets. The exception is Skinni Minis, or really think fonts. The Cricut can't always handle those, so I buy the dies if I really love the font.


Chandelier = Miss Scarlet Plain


Disco = Mivron Regular


Gazebo = Omaha Bazoo NF


Honey Bee = Chauncy Fatty This appears to be a lowercase to match Honey, one of the original QK 2x2 alphas.


Marigold = American Extra Bold - several foundries offer this typeface. This link is to the Linotype font.


Oatmeal - Not 100% sure, but I think it's British Inserat.


Sugar Sweet - Monte Carlo Script NF - although the QK version has rounder tails on the letters.


Supermarket = Marky Marker NF


Yogurt - Mandingo. This appears to be a freebie here, but I've seen it with a price elsewhere.

P.S.

Banana Split, released earlier this month = Pauline Regular or Bold
