I've come up with a slogan that's aimed at the female market exclusively and I just wanted to ask for some recommendations for fonts suitable for this sort of thing.

Depends on what you're looking for I suppose. As a female I like all sorts of fonts
If you want to go with a cutesy thing maybe try a handwriting font. Are you limited to free fonts only or are you willing to pay a little? EDIT: From this forum's FAQ thread, here's a short list of some font resources: http://forums.cafepress.com/ev...83104/m/573109#fonts |

I'm limited to free fonts at the moment and I like your idea of a handwriting font.

Not to sound snooty, but part of being a graphic designer is being able to select an appropriate font to achieve a particular effect. Look at all of your fonts and then try to categorize them by "feel": Which feel formal; which feel casual; which feel humorous; which feel solemn, which feel "western"; which feel "art deco," etc. etc. Don't go by the names given to the typefaces by the provider/foundry -- just decide by looking at them. Think of a phrase that you think would look good in that font and then type it out. What do you think now? Does it fit? If no, what's wrong with it?
"Ha! This font reminds me of a hot dog. 'Specially if it's in 3D shading in just the right shade of greyish pink. Think I'll use it to promote the family bbq this weekend." Print yourself a list of the fonts which you have categorized this way, listing them by category and name so you can easily find appropriate fonts when you have a project in mind.
