What is the font from the Ivy and Bean series?
Gosh, I've been asking myself the same question for 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.
The answer to the question: Adelle Thin.
The font in Ivy and Bean is Adelle Thin.
The problem is, after three hours of non-stop searching, there is no website that has a free download - the only fonts you can download from the Adelle family is the Adelle Bold and the Adelle Bold Italic.
The price for this font ranges from $36 to about $70, depending on where you're buying from.
Annie Barrows and Sophie Farell (or the company who has published their books) has done just about EVERYTHING to stop people from posting pictures of the font [sample text from the book], they have stopped people from figuring out what font it is, etc - but finally, after years of seaching (for real!) I figured it out.
Adelle Thin and the whole Adelle family font can be downloaded from Adobe Typekit, 101 Free Fonts and Fonts.com. There are also some other websites that carry it too.
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?
