I’m looking for a font that evokes vacations on the beach, sunsets, drinks with umbrellas served in a coconut…

It needs to be a decent font for embroidering and be easily read. I know precisely nothing about fonts, so don’t even know the best way to go about finding one.

Something like [Tiki](http://www.google.com/search?q=tiki+font&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&oq=&gs_l=)?

Or maybe a simple [brush](http://www.google.com/search?q=brush+font&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&oq=&gs_l=) script?

Thanks! I think a brush font (Olivia brush looks pretty good) is exactly what I am looking for.
