I don't think there is any way I can count the number of times I've been a fashion victim. If I had my way, it would be shorts or jeans and a t-shirt every single day. Heck, even Mark Zuckerburg of Facebook wears a hoodie almost every day. Even if your fashion...
Filling up your vehicle these days is pretty painful. If only we could generate our own gas or run our cars on something else. While I can't help you fill up the tank on your car, I can help you fill up your design tank with the Oil Age Heiroglyphs font. Yes, the...
It was probably about a month ago we had some repairs done on our office printer because it was streaking a bit. No, it isn't a Xerox as the name of today's font may imply. Luckily, the probably wasn't nearly as bad as that in today's font. Xerox Malfunction BRK...
I remember as a kid using fireworks each summer to detonate something as simple as a soda can. Of course it was probably more dangerous than I thought at the time. Luckily I came away unscathed. Rather than using real explosives, how about blowing up your designs...
At first glance, the name Sable Lion didn't really tell me much about today's fonts. After a little research, I learned the Sable Lion is an award "given for excellence in the martial arts: armored combat, fencing, and archery." So think of a family of fonts with a...
What is the first thing you have in the morning? Is it a Jolt of Caffeine in the form of a cup of coffee? Or does it come from a soft drink or energy drink? I'm sure some of you have a few jolts of caffeine while others don't have any at all. The good news is that...
The desire to create various metallic effects in your designs is right at the top of most designers lists. One way to get such an effect is a font that simulates what you want. Today's font, Impressed Metal, gives the effect of something stamped in metal. It can be...
Are you projects on solid ground? Since that is the translation of the Latin phrase terra firma, you might want to get the Terra Firma fonts to take your projects there. These nine free fonts are a great addition to your type library, so make sure to get your...
We all have our favorite fonts. I'm sure you have a list of approximately ten families of fonts that you use more often than others. The folks at FontShop polled designers and the result was a list of The 100 Best Typefaces of All Time. Click on any of the...
I really don't know the inspiration of the font designer in choosing the Grantham name for this family of eight fonts. That means I get to come up with a story and maybe my guess will be correct. A little searching on Grantham led me to the market town of Grantham...
It is hard to believe that summer is officially over and hopefully most of you got a chance to take a summer vacation. If you went shopping for postcards, you have have noticed a common font being used. While today's font isn't exactly the same, it definitely...
It seems like the older I get, the worse my handwriting gets. Of course it probably doesn't help that I don't practice as much since I type a lot more. I'm not sure if Cheyenne Hand somehow gets its name from the city in Wyoming or after someone named Cheyenne....
I definitely love to eat food from different cultures. Thai food is one I don't get as often as I like mostly because there aren't as many Thai restaurants near me. My first choice when there is almost always the Pad Thai. Mmmm, that is making me hungry as I type....
"HERE LIES LESTER MOORE, FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44, NO LES NO MORE" reads one of the most well-known grave markers in Tombstone, Arizona's Boot Hill Cemetery. It may come as a surprise to some, but graphics software is used quite extensively in the business of creating...
Due to a family wedding, I've made my way to Milwaukee for a few days. Like any location, it is known for some of the products produced here in the area. Given that the local baseball team is known as the Brewers, you know that beer is a product associated with...
Has it really been four years since the amazing opening ceremony in Beijing? In just a few hours the people of London will open their arms to the world and we'll have two weeks of Olympics to cheer. I fully expect there will be a really loud noise made by the fans...
In the Arizona desert, we all look forward to the arrival of monsoon season. Nearly every afternoon we can watch as ominous clouds roll in. Sometimes they bring a heavy rain while other times they simply roll out with no rain at all. Along with the clouds will...
Here we again and it is Friday the 13th. This can cause some to have their hair stand on end. It has always been a good day for me, but I thought I'd try and find a font that felt appropriate for the day. Frizzed BRK has an incredibly rough edge on each character...
Who doesn't get things mixed up all too often. Hopefully the things getting mixed up aren't terribly important. Today's font is named Mixed Up because the characters in the font seem to come from a number of different fonts instead of a single font. Post a message...
Like many fonts, today's font is a play on words. According to Wikipedia, toxic waste is waste material that can cause death, injury or birth defects to living creatures. The good news is today's font does none of those horrible things. Toxic Waist simply provides...
When I saw the name of this family of fonts, two characters immediately came to mind. The first was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man made famous in the movie Ghostbusters. There is also the singer Sean Combs and his Puff Daddy stage name. Those names aren't quite the...
Antique fonts by nature have a rough edge to them. One of the more popular fonts of this genre is Caslon Antique. While it is the most popular, it is certainly not the only one. Today's family is Hamburg Antique and I can only guess it has some relation to Hamburg,...
I hope you all reach the summit in all of your endeavors! Maybe that summit is literally the top of a mountain or maybe it is a personal or professional achievement. Go ahead and use the Summit fonts to memorialize that achievement. You might also find them quite...
Today the calendar rolls over into June and that means Father's Day is just over two weeks away. I thought we could start the gift giving a little bit early with the Dad's Recipe font. While I'm not privy to the true reason for the name, I'm going to guess it is...
