I am not asking for any design, I am just asking to see what comes into your mind for a font on this.
Name; Harmony Health Foods Bi-Line;(a natural grocery store)
Sign is 4' x 16'L. It will have a palette of carved veggies up in left corner and a couple more along with some scattered vitamin pills down in the right.
I was just curious because I am looking for something with heavy copy but yet some character life.
I know I have seen some great fonts to buy for this type through some of the merchants here and with some help I could narrow down the searching.
In the mean time back to there web-sites. Problem is when I get looking at all of them it is like going into Home Depot, when you walk in you get this big smile on your face and then,........YOU FORGOT WHAT YOU WERE THERE FOR!
Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was just interested in what type of font pops into minds when they just have this copy to go by.
Thanks!

Eccentric French from the Fontry. I use it a lot lately and have used it for projects for the local healthy food co-op.

Squeezebox by Dave Parr for the header Sign Gothic by Art & Signfonts for the byline or Wade Grotesque by Arthur Vanson for the header Arthur's Chesham Sans Regular for the byline Eccentric French is also a good choice. Also like some of the Larabie fonts. http://larabiefonts.com/ And P22 probably has some good choices, I love their Frank Lloyd Wright stuff: http://www.p22.com/ (but it might not be heavy enough)
Of course, you could go with Papyrus... Love....Jill

I wondered about a heavy sign script – there are plenty out there – countered with a plain sans for the Grocery Shop line. I thought gentle earth colours might look harmonious but I'm more of a black and white person really.
Had to try! Sorry about the veg and pills (or is it a fried egg)
