Many years ago when I was a kid, I remember waiting each week for a new episode of The Incredible Hulk featuring bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno. There have been several movies that have followed, but they just weren’t the same to me. Today’s font, Hulkbusters,...

Looking for new fonts for your projects? We introduce you to some of our favorites.
When I wrote the Beautiful Scenes From Different Parts of the Arizona Desert post, I mentioned the large number of ghost towns found in Arizona. That got me thinking about giving you all a ghost and hopefully you’ll get the Everyday Ghost font. Don’t...
When I hear the name Valencia, I think of oranges. And if Valencia Antique means old oranges, it just doesn’t sound good. Luckily we are talking about a couple of antique fonts which simply means they have rough edges. These antiques may be the perfect answer...
Some of the fonts that you enjoy the most are script fonts. At least more of you download the script fonts than the others. Today’s font is not a script font, but I still think it is quite elegant. The Nicolas family comes in Regular, Italic and Bold versions...
Things are really crazy in the Phoenix area this week. On one side of town is the PGA Tour event, the Waste Management Open. In other parts of town are various events related to the Super Bowl leading up to the game on Sunday. I was happy to be out of town teaching...
Some of you will find it shocking that I’ve not seen any of the Lord of the Rings or Hobbit movies. I don’t avoid movies, I just didn’t seem to have an interest in those particular films. But when I saw the name of today’s font, Bilbo, I...
If I go strictly by the name of today’s font, Woodbrush, you’d get the impression that each of the characters was drawn using a brush made of wood. Yes, the characters have a rough edge but it is hard for me to imagine the brush that would draw them. None...
Thankfully the cold weather has left Cave Creek. Unfortunately for many of you, the world outside may look a lot like the scenery in the movie Frozen. The polar vortex led me to today’s font, Frozen Dog Treats. How the font itself relates to cold or dog treats,...
This is the time of year when many of us get a cold and find our nasal passages blocked. I’ve been fighting a cold for the last ten days and that led me to today’s font named Nasalization. While a cold is certainly no fun, I think you’ll find the...
Did you get a gift that you’d like to return or exchange? Did you lose your receipt or maybe you never got a receipt. I’ve got a secret weapon for you. Today’s font is Fake Receipt and it might just be what you need to create your own receipt. Shhhh,...
There are an awful lot of you that deal with halftone dots on a regular basis. I’m guessing just as many of you are somewhere where it is really cold right now. Today’s font, Chuck Chillout, gets it name from the cold weather and its characters are built...
I’m a multi-purpose geek. When a friend needed help hanging Christmas lights on their house last week, I was happy to help them light up the night. It would be very difficult for me to come to each of your houses to hang up lights so I thought the next best...
When I found the two fonts in the Rothwell family, I noticed the two fonts were identical in spacing and general character shape. The difference is that the regular weight has rounded edges and the “Army” weight features straight lines instead. If you are...
I hope everyone had a great day of feasting yesterday and your table was as trashed as mine after everyone got done with seconds and thirds of all the good stuff. Today it is time for your designs to get Trashed. We all need another grunge font for headlines. Get your...
With the bitter cold that is hitting a large part of the United States, you may be tempted to go to points west (like our home in Arizona) to find some warmth. While actually getting away to the west may be hard, we thought you might get some warmth from the Points...
A week ago was Halloween and millions of children across the world traded a little scare for some tasty candy. Admittedly I even begged a couple of friends for some candy even though I had no costume and I’m far too old for trick or treating. Today I’m...
How many times have you heard someone say Eureka when they found a great solution? When I saw the name Vahika on today’s six fonts, the similarity in the words immediately came to mind. So shout it out loud and get some new fonts. Get your free copy! Not sure...
When I saw the name Great Vibes on today’s font, my mind immediately wandered to the Beach Boys Good Vibrations. It took me away to a beautiful day on the beach for at least a few seconds. Sadly I don’t think the font itself will take you away to the...
Most of you know that our office is in Arizona. So I just couldn’t refuse a font with the name of Arizonia as today’s font. I’d love to tell you a good story about how the name relates to our state, but I just can’t see the connection. What I...
Yesterday it was kind of foggy in Cave Creek. We were dealing with the remnants of another hurricane from the Pacific coming through the area. Turning on a foglight would have been helpful. That’s what led me to the Foglihten family of fonts. Yes, it is spelled...
Last week I gave you Kaushan Script and I think it may have been one of the most popular fonts we’ve ever offered. Maybe you like script fonts, maybe it was just a good one. This week I have Grand Hotel which is another OpenType script font that looks like...
There are a small number of script fonts that are so overused than many viewer may be absolutely sick of them. A perfect example is Brush Script. So today I want you to get a copy of Kaushan Script so that you have an alternative for at least some of your projects...
When you are including source code in your designs, it is good to have a font that is monospaced so that all of the text stays in neat columns. Today’s font, Source Code Pro, gives you seven weights of OpenType fonts with larger than normal character sets. Each...
As I was growing up, Milton Berle would appear on a wide variety of shows on television. He even appeared in a video for the heavy metal band Ratt’s Round and Round video. That was back in the days when MTV actually played music videos. Why am I bringing up...
