Working with Fonts: Picking a San Serif font for Gates' Monthly Snapshot

Earlier this month I came up with the idea of creating a 7x7 photo book of Gates' first 24 months. I think I've finally narrowed my picks for the last of the other two San Serif fonts to two choices:

Big Noodle
Font Friday: Big Noodle

and Telegrafico. Both have very different personalities.
Font Friday: Telegrafico

Which is your favorite: Big Noodle or Telegrafico?

Here's what each font looks like in the layout with the Serif font I chose: Berylium. (Remember that my inspiration for the layout of each page came from a package of tea which has one Serif font and two San Serif fonts.) I'm not sure which font treatment I like better. What's your preference? Big Noodle with Berylium or Big Noodle with Telegrafico?

Big Noodle with Berylium

Telegrafico with Berylium

Both Big Noodle from Sentinel Type and Telegrafico by Salvo Nicolosi are available for free for personal use from Dafonts.com. (The other San Serif font used in the layout (not shown) is Tall Films by GemFonts, also available for free for personal use from Dafonts.com.)

Happy Designing!

I'm now on a mission to organize my kitchen with prevention of food spoilage in mind.     Right now winter vegetables are available from our CSA, some of which I'm not very familiar with -- hard or winter squash varieties for example. And, with cubes until recently on a soft foods diet we didn't go through what I was buying as quickly as before. So, I was seeing potatoes turn green or shrivel. Squash rot. Garlic turn to dust. Seeing this waste a light bulb went on: I must be storing the vegetables wrong. To my cookbooks and the Internet I went in search of the right way(s) to keep them. And I discovered, or rather confirmed, I was doing it wrong.   General Guidelines for Storing Vegetables Most of us don't hav...

( updated 02/24/2022 ) Welcome! Nice to meet you!   I’m Eden, a fourth-generation Californian. Together my husband, 9.75 year old daughter, and Maine Coon/Ragamuffin rescue cat are in the process of unpacking and nesting in our new 100+ year old Craftsman in Berkeley, CA (until this past December we called a 100-year old, a 847 sq ft Edwardian flat in San Francisco home).
