Font suggestions for a hippie health food store
I have to knock out a quick ad for a hippie health food store and would like to use something other than their first choice of Zapf Chancery.
Thanks.
Anyone who suggests Papyrus wins a bucket of fail.

Ouch, Zapf? Really? Hmmmm, I searched DaFont.com for hippie fonts but that was full of fail.... maybe some of these would work in place of Zapf. Good luck!

I forgot to mention that they didn't even spell the name of their business correctly:
Grainery rather than Granary.
I think I'm going to go have a short cry.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm thinking of going all Celtic on them with Sweeney and Sweeney Linocut

Are you looking for a font for the body copy of the ad? What does their logo look like?
For body copy, I usually go for something very desecrate and sans serif.

It's this. I just am going to extract the logo and make a new headline and put the body in a sans face like Avenir or Gill Sans
Now, I'm thinking Sweeney is over the top.
