The Words You Need to Find Fonts for are:

Choose fonts that fit the element.  For Instance, the definition of form is found at dictionary.com under the fine arts definition: 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/form

8.Fine Arts.

a.

the organization, placement, or relationship of basic elements, as lines and colors in a painting or volumes and voids in a sculpture, so as to produce a coherent image; the formal structure of a work of art.

 

b.

three-dimensional quality or volume, as of a represented object or anatomical part.

 

c.

an object, person, or part of the human body or the appearance of any of these, esp. as seen in nature: His work is characterized by the radical distortion of the human form.

 

So a good font that would demonstrate the definition of form would be:

 

Action Jackson:  After downloading the font, I can type the following:

Form

 

If I want the font to be larger than what the choices are in the drop down menu, Highlight the word (form) then I can type in the font size I want.  For this size, I typed in 99 at the top
