the 1st font seems more childish,,, maybe comical... i assume it would require a fairly formal design on the card in order to counter-balance?

the 2nd font... i dont know... ive never been a fan of large bodies of italicized text; it takes away the visual emphasis that's predominantly associated with italics.

the top font as described in the QBN Typecase at www.newstoday.com : Bryant "The soft, rounded ends of Bryant recall the mark of Speedball pens and lettering kits of the ’60s. Eric Olson successfully blends mechanical and organic forms in a family of diverse weights and alternates. It fits a bill that is otherwise dominated by Gotham and VAG Rounded."

the bottom font: Relay "There is something inherently appealing about the handmade geometric lettering of mid-century graphic artists and sign-makers. Cyrus Highsmith borrowed from this aesthetic for a large family of useful types that are neither boring or too novel. Relay is a nice alternative to Neutraface."
