Typographic images that represent the queen
Below are some images i have found that make me think of royalty and the queen. When i define royal i think of clean cut, well mannered, behaved, well spoken members of the family. I instantly think about the jewels and the diamonds and castles as you have grown up to believe this from story books so that is my first impression. The queen however i find and inspirational powerful women who has been the queen for many years she is also incredibly strong and intelligent.
I wanted to find research into fonts etc. that represent the queen to be a strong independent women who is devoted to her role as queen as she is to her family.

Research in to Fonts
Below are fonts i found on www.dafont.com i wanted to look at fonts that looked quite royal and sophisticated. But still elegant and readability was the main aspect for me. I didn't want a too over complicated design that you couldn't read because i didn't see the need to over complicate things especially when the person who i was creating the font for is the queen.
