“Apple Chancery” is an elegant font you can download off the internet to spell things like “elegant” and “kingdom” and other things that reflect nobility.

Cara Cature’s, Apple Chancery is brilliantly noble. The actual cd has the capability of reflecting light in such a way that it can scare stormclouds away and turn thick oil-based paintings into elegant watercolor.
Singing brilliant narratives of medieval sorts, Kristi Christensen has crafted an album that rivals Joanna Newsom for tenderness and Robin Hood for attitude. For example, on the album’s second track, “Castle Over Me”, Christensen sings:
Mine’s a house of straw sewn one stitch at a time, built to house my own seeming impervious rhyme.
And then a gust blows me away!
A huff and puff from whence you came.
I exclaim… Build a castle over me
The album makes me remember nights when my mom used to sing me to sleep, pitching me closer and closer to dreaming about Candy Land, merry-go-rounds, and knights saving damsels in distress. Christensen’s voice is a sweet caress on my face as my eyes block out the light and send me into a deep, deep sleep.
In addition to the music on this album being completely awesome, the album came with a bonus disc containing a video of “Where the Wild Things Are”, as told by Cara Cature. Pretty amazing stuff!
