You’ll find hundreds of fonts in our Fonts Unleashed collections.
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...
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...
I love typefaces that are a little outside of the norm. Today's font, Pincoya Black, is designed in the style of the Spanish Civil War according to the designer. Each of the lowercase vowels features a large underscore with the letter elevated. What do you think of...
One of the biggest names in type design is Frederic Goudy. You'll find a number of classic typefaces with his name on them and others he designed without his name. Today we have the regular and italic weights of Sorts Mill Goudy in OpenType format. It is a great...
Just hearing the name of today's font makes me think of punk rock. I'm sure part of that is because it has punk in the name. Maybe you'll want to put on your favorite Ramones song as you design with the Kontrapunkt fonts to get you in that punk mood. What do you...
I had someone approach me last week looking for artwork geared towards the military market. One thing that always says military to me is a stencil-type font. That led me to WC Wunderbach in its six crazy variants. Note that some of these variants are extremely...
