Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.
In your defense, you probably weren't paying attention to fonts in the '70s and early '80s, when Souvenir was egregiously overused.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

ION, does anyone know where I can buy a very simple, inexpensive menorah? And the candles? Hanukkah falls over Xmas this year, and M will be with us, so we want to honor it.
If you don't have a local Judaica shop (my impression of how common these are may be a weeeeee bit NYC-skewed), Amazon.
[eta: Also, my Mom buys me a cheap menorah almost every year through her synagogue's Hebrew school fundraiser, so that would be another option.]

Souvenir. It's like I don't even know you.
It has a pleasing curve. I want to snuggle with it. (Except for the lower-case "b," which is too roly-poly.)

I definitely was not, unless it was on the cover of Duran Duran LPs.

Souvenir was used everywhere, and inevitably too small or too large for the font style.

I for certain have seen menorahs (menorahim?) at Good Will and such places. It's not like they're consecrated.

Erin, I believe I saw menorahs at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. So another option.
So freaking tired. A nap is going to happen soon and I'll make up for it by working later today.

Really, almost any place that sells Christmasy stuff will have a token Hannukah shelf with menorahs, candles, and blue wrapping paper.
