Ivy and Bean Font*

What is the font from the Ivy and Bean series?

Gosh, I've been asking myself the same question for, like, a MILLION years... but I finally found the answer!

Although fonts Caecilla LTD and Nadia Serif are closely related to the font in Ivy and Bean, the main one, Caecilla is to spacey and light to be good enough to use and Nadia... well, there are no quotation marks, commas, or apostrophes... what kind of a font is that? It has good letters but had a very stupid designer. Adelle Thin and Adelle Light were close, although the font is not worth $65+.

The answer to the question: Candida.

The font in Ivy and Bean is Candida.

*I originally thought the font was Adelle Thin, but after asking the question on the WTF Forum (no, not wtf, but what the font!) a very amazing and kind user named Akira1975 answered my question.

If you are wondering about a font, you can posey our own case and because of the fantastic quality of service at What the Font, your question should be answered in a matter of hours... with the right font!
Here is the link to start your own case: http://www.myfonts.com/search/candida/fonts/

You can download Candida from Font Supply free at this link: http://www.fontsupply.com/fonts/C/Candida.html
You should be careful about the advertisements around the download - if you see an add that says anything about a font installer it is a virus... so for you new fonties you have to pay attention to those kind of things. Oh, also - they have a preview of the font at the link too so you can see what Candida looks like AND you can download it at the same time!

Sorry about that little glitch.. Adelle Thin is very similar to the Ivy and Bean font, except the one difference that really sprang out at me was the g in both fonts. In font picking I usually pay attention to the lowercase g, y, q and p.. because the curves and lines in them are very distinctive to me. The y in Adelle was similar although the g was rounded.

Adelle Bold and Adelle Bold Italic are avaliable for free download... the other fonts (around 14 to 20, depending on the website) are priced from $29 to about $70... the link below is for the download of Adelle Bold and Adelle Bold Italic. It is a nice font although it's a little expensive for my taste.

note: freepremiumfonts.blogspot.ca has lots of popups and advertisements as soon as you click on the link to the website... it is one of the first results although it is just a big scam! They don't actually let you download any fonts - I would recommend avoiding it.

Well, that's one more question me and all the font searchers can stop asking themselves. Phew! No more whenever I go looking for fonts, What is the font from Ivy and Bean?
