Can you tell I have food on my mind? Last week I featured PizzaDude and today the free font is Barbecue. I love a good spicy barbecue sauce and hopefully today’s font will help add some spice to your designs. How much do I love barbecue? I bet you’ll see...
Fonts Unleashed Archives
You’ll find hundreds of fonts in our Fonts Unleashed collections.
There are times when I get a knock on the door or the doorbell rings and I’m not very happy to answer it. That isn’t the case when the Pizza Dude is bringing me a tasty hot pizza! I wish I could have him deliver every night, but I’m not sure my...
Yes, I took the lyrics from Neil Young’s My My, Hey Hey and twisted them a bit for my headline. With today’s font being named Fade to Grey, it just seemed really appropriate. When I selected this font, I immediately thought of all the screen printers out...
I didn’t realize until I did some research that the name Shangri La is a fictional location from the 1933 novel Lost Horizon. In the book, this utopian location found high in the Himalayas. Well we have a Shangri La near Cave Creek and it is a bit different from...
It was the show Les Miserables that truly made antique fonts popular since Caslon Antique was used for the logo. Today I wanted to share another family of antique fonts with you. This family of six free fonts is Lingwood Antique and it includes Light, Regular and Bold...
Today begins a three-day holiday weekend for those of us in the United States as we celebrate Labor Day. It is also considered the unofficial end of summer so there will be a lot of BBQs with hot dogs on the grill. What better way to dress up a hot dog that with some...
Have you tried the French delicacy Escargot? I have and thought they were quite tasty. Some people can’t even consider trying them. There was also the funny moment in the movie Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts sent one flying across the room. Well today’s...
It seems like every young boy gets a Mohawk hair cut at some point. Heck, even grown football players like Jayhawk John Riggins will sometimes get a Mohawk. I’ve had a few questionable haircuts in my life, but never sported a Mohawk. For everyone who has had...
There was a funny video posted on YouTube recently of a muscle-bound man struggling to get the top off of a water bottle at a baseball game. Even though there is a knurled grip on the lid of the bottle, the strongman is unable to remove the lid. Today’s font...
Can you believe MTV first appeared on our televisions on August 1, 1981? For the younger crowd, can you believe that they used to do nothing but play music videos all day long? Based on the first song played, that was the day when Video Killed the Radio Star. One...
There has been much ado in London the past few days with the birth of a new prince. No, we’re not talking about the musician who goes by the name of Prince. After the new prince was born, the royal family issued a Proclamation announcing the birth. So it only...
I have traveled to Los Angeles for the NBM Trade Show. OK, technically I’m in Long Beach though I will be traveling through Los Angeles a bit later today. Los Angeles is Spanish for “the angels” and the town is often referred to as “The City of...
It is a really good thing I didn’t attend beauty school. There is no doubt that my efforts would have been harmful to the hair of those who sat in my chair. I would have been a beauty school dropout! Life took me in a completely different direction and I prefer...
It was a very sad day this week in Arizona as a number of firefighters were lost trying to stop a massive forest fire. These fires are common here in the summer due to dry conditions and lightning strikes and it is painful to see such a large loss of life from the men...
I’m headed for my high school reunion tonight. Which one? Let’s just say the number isn’t a small one. And my high school days started right around the end of the disco era. So I thought it would only be appropriate to select a disco-themed font this...
For three days, the FBI was digging up concrete in a Detroit-area field looking for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. This dig was based on information provided by a mobster on how and where Hoffa met his demise. Maybe, just maybe, Jimmy Hoffa is hiding behind the Mob...
The news has been filled with spy stories this week. I’m not suggesting any of you become the type of spy that gets you in the news. How about adding a little bit of secret agent spice to your designs? Perfect as I’ve selected the A.C.M.E. Secret Agent...
Earlier this week I showed up a quick tutorial titled Fill Holes in Text With Smart Fill. Some of you may have asked what font was used for that example. Rather than just tell you what font was used, you can download the fonts for yourself. The family is SF Comic...
Today is the first day over 100 degrees in the Phoenix area. This means most of the snowbirds have flown north for the summer. Even the die-hards are looking for ways to get to a cooler climate if only for the weekend. Folks in California even refer to us as...
When I first saw the name of today’s fonts, Tork, I immediately thought of Peter Tork from The Monkees. No, I don’t think there is any relation between the artist and the font other than a funny coincidence between their names. Now I have several of their...
I remember many days as a kid with my ear pressed to the radio listening to that night’s broadcast of a Kansas City Royals game. The voice describing the action was that of Fred White and he sadly lost his battle with melanoma a couple of days ago. This got me...
When I find a font each week, I try to come up with some sort of story related to the name of the font. I’m drawing a blank this week. So let’s make it really easy and I’ll just send you to the page to get the eleven Hall Fetica fonts. Post a message...
Two of the biggest movies in recent years have been The Hangover and The Hangover Part II. A third (and final?) installment in the series will be released in a few weeks. Over the weekend, many people will celebrate Cinco de Mayo and overcelebration could lead to a...
3D is all the rage these days. Even the illusion of 3D is popular. Often there are signs laying on a football field or inserted digitally that makes them appear as if they are standing up. In reality it is just good use of perspective by the designers. Today’s...
