what different fonts do you like using on your websites, especially for decorative elements?

(okay i'll admit, i have ulterior motives here, i want ideas for nice fonts i can use on my blog's nav buttons  , but also i'm just genuinely curious what peoples favorite fonts are!)

I use my own pixel font Critters! I used the BitFontMaker for it because it's actually so easy and a fun time waster haha. I have a soft spot of pixel fonts because it makes me feel like I'm in an old-school RPG haha. I'm also one of those annoying Consolas enjoyers. >:)

One of the good things about having an old Windows installation is, that you pile up fonts from all kinds of programs. In the attachments are some examples. Atari Raster and Atari Vector (not shown here) are from Atari Hits, an arcade game collection. When me and my sister were kids, she always prefered "Mistral", while I was writing everything in "Westmister". Must have been an unconcious positive bias towards the 70s for whatever reason, even as a kid, hehe...

To be honest, I don't use any special fonts on my website on purpose. They usually aren't shown in the niche browsers, or on a niche Linux, which doesn't have the specific font installed. And the likes of fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com are prohibited from passing my firewall (which speeds up loading sites by the way). And JavaScript is disabled here by default anyways, so relying on external fonts is quite unreliable and the browser just uses a standard font.

i use a cute font that i believe was ripped from yoshi’s island for my site. it’s cute and playful while not being too unclear to read. although since its made for a game some of the symbols look a bit funny.

I like using the Nintendo DS-inspired Galmuri font family, along with 000webfont occasionally.
