Looking for new fonts for your projects? We introduce you to some of our favorites.
Hollywood was calling my name today and so it only made sense to choose a font that has Hollywood written all over it. The name and style of the Hollywood Hills fonts is no doubt inspired by the famous Hollywood Sign. It was originally erected to advertise a new...
When I first saw the name of today's font, I immediately thought of legendary producer Stanley Kubrick. Some of his best-known films include Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. While I can't...
When I saw the name of today's fonts, I immediately thought back to a Saturday Night Live sketch from the early years. The good news is the Land Shark fonts won't be ringing your doorbell and trying to eat you. What you will find is eight different weights of the...
A few months back I told you about Caslon Antique. Today is a very similar font family named Casablanca Antique. One of the main differences between the two is Casablanca Antique comes in Light, Regular, Medium, Bold and Heavy versions. If you are a fan of antique...
Today is Black Friday in the stores and that means your wallet may turn into a black hole. We want to stimulate your design a bit with some free fonts and what better fonts to feature today but BlackHole BB. It has both a regular and an italic version included. Get...
Last week's set of fonts had a tie-in to science fiction and it looks as if this week's set has a similar connection. There are a total of 16 fonts in the Phaser Bank set. While there are a number of uses of the word phaser, I'm guessing this one references the...
As we look at the calendar today, we are faced with 11/11/11. Some parts of the world list the day first and some list the month first. Today, it is the same for everyone. In the United States, it is also the Veteran's Day holiday. Finding the appropriate font for...
Typically when I talk about a font, I make sure you can download it. The Leg Hair Font is an exception to that rule as it isn't a computer-based font. I'll give credit to the person behind the font as it is really creative. All I can suggest you do is read about...
When I saw the name of this family of fonts, I immediately thought of Raleigh, North Carolina. It's a place I love to visit. Then I wondered if the font is somehow related to Raleigh cigarettes. Ick, I hope not. Regardless, Raleigh Serial is a family of seven fonts...
I have been very lucky that I've never had a job where I had to sit in a cubicle farm. There have been some assignments where I was trapped in a cubicle for a few days and I was thrilled that I didn't have to do that every day. The Qbicle BRK set of fonts makes...
Last Saturday I was watching my Jayhawks play football. Some would say they are so bad you couldn't call it football, but that isn't a subject for this blog. Prior to the National Anthem, an eagle flew to midfield and it was pretty impressive. When I found the...
Once again I tried searching for some fonts relevant to Halloween. I'm not sure if I was truly successful, but one of the fonts does have the word evil in it. You'll get Samdan, Samdan Evil and Condensed versions of each in the Samdan Fonts package. Get your copies...
We are getting closer to Halloween, All Hallows Eve and Dia de Los Muertos. That means it is time to find some appropriate fonts for the occasion. Sinister Visions is not a single font, but rather four different fonts from the same creator. You'll get Gypsy Curse,...
I bet you had the same though when you first saw the name of this font. You immediately thought of the television show and/or movie by the name of Charlie's Angels. My guess is the font designer named the font intentionally to be misread like this. This font isn't...
In the last two weeks, I've told you about the Dumbledor 1 fonts and Dumbledor 2 families of fonts. Guess what, there is a third collection of nine fonts named Dumbledor 3. They come in all the same weights and are very similar at first glance. There are a total of...
https://fostercoburn.com/font-packs/Last week I told you about the Dumbledor 1 fonts. Today we look at another nine fonts named Dumbledor 2. They come in all the same weights and are very similar at first glance. There are a total of nine fonts in this collection...
When I first came across today's Dumbledor 1 fonts, I immediately wondered if they derived their name from Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. If that name doesn't ring a bell to you, he is a major character in the Harry Potter series of books. What...
I'm not sure why, but this font makes me think of Star Trek. I know it isn't the same font, it just brings it to mind for me. There are five different fonts included in the Jumptroops package. Regular, Italic, Light, Light Italic and Condensed weights give you a...
Fonts can serve many purposes. Some are great for long blocks of text and others have very specific users for only a few characters. Today's font, X-Grid definitely falls under the latter description. Each of the characters sits on a grid, a slanted grid in the...
Have you figured out that I love fonts yet? I know I'm not the only fontaholic out there. Today we have four fonts named Sudbury Basin. There is a regular, ink, gaunt and 3D version. Get your copies now! If you've missed some fonts, don't forget to visit Fonts...
Where were you on August 12, 1981? It was a pretty historic day in history, especially for those of us who sit in front of a computer every day. It was the day the IBM PC was released. Here we are on the 30th anniversary. Has it really been 30 years? That makes me...
When I first saw this font, I wondered if the name was related to the Galapagos Islands. If so, is there a reason the name (Galapogos BRK) is spelled with an "o" instead of an "a". The characters do have a roundness that makes me think of the turtles from the...
I watched the movie Encino Man the other day. It will never appear on a list of the greatest movies. Nevertheless, I always get a good laugh out of it. Made in the early 90s, some would call this movie "rad" and that leads to today's fonts, Rad Zad and Rad Zad...
Here in the US, Las Vegas is the gaming capital and it draws a bunch of visitors each year. On the international scene, the gaming hot spot is Macao. What do those locations have to day with today's fonts? Nothing really other than the fonts are named Macao and...
