Font Freebies / 14

Hi!

Happy Tuesday! How is your March coming along? I’m a broken record, but I suppose that’s senior year for you: things are busy, and I’m simply doing my best to soak it all in! This month has me anxiously awaiting the admissions decisions from the colleges I applied to in the fall, but in the meantime, I’m noting cues and running scenes at rehearsal {our school moved on to semi-finals for the second time in a row}, planning our annual senior class fundraiser {I like to think of it as one step closer to graduation!}, and studying with both Ed Sheeran and Khalid in the background {have you listened to Divide or American Teen?}.

In other news, we’re nearly two and a half months into 2017, and I’ve yet to post another edition of Font Freebies! It’s a mistake I hope to remedy today, as I’ve again rounded up a few of my favorite – and free! – font downloads. With scripts to prepare, assignments to complete, and hand-lettering projects to come, I’ve kept a keen eye out  for new typefaces, an effort that has led me to such gems as Fish & Chips, whose “and” symbol and tiny slabs won my heart, and Bambino, whose uniqueness in stroke deserves a worthy use. Have you come across any fun fonts as of late?

Have a wonderful day!

Hi!

As I look back over the stories I read, the characters I met, and the authors I discovered this year, an additional element stands out: the covers of the books themselves! The releases from the past twelve month are rich with examples of excellent artistic direction, from the minimalistic beauty Girl in Pieces to the captivating photograph gracing If I Was Your Girl. I’d happily frame any of them on my bedroom wall, and furthermore, designing book covers seems all the more appealing of a career :) {Psst. If you’re just as big of a cover fanatic as I, pop on over to The Novel Hermit, where Cee has created a set of awards devoted solely to covers of YA books}.

With so much inspiration at my fingertips – or better said, in my bookshelf – I felt it was time for another round of Font Freebies, a series in which I share my favorite downloads from designers around the web. I’ve collected many a font as of late, including Regina Black {who can resist its “friendly, meet funky” design?} and Queen of Heaven {the script letterforms are a delight}. What creative typefaces have you been using this month?

Have an amazing start to your weekend!

Hello!

I saw a tweet recently that compared August as the “Sunday of summer,” and to a point, I agree – especially when you walk into Staples or Target with back to school sales in full swing! Even so, while I’m not one to rush my vacation away, I will admit to loving the planning that goes into returning to school: shopping for a few new pieces, lining up pens and pencils, and setting up my binders and notebooks for the new year. I downloaded several fonts for use on my binder covers, and was then inspired to share them in another edition of Font Freebies.

For new readers, this feature was born out of my love of all things graphic design, allowing me to share my favorite free fonts from around the internet. While I’ve put all of the typefaces below to good use, I’m digging DK Abeille {I love the subtle bounce in the characters} and KG Satisfied {You can’t go wrong with another handwritten script font} in particular. Have you downloaded any fun typefaces recently?

Have a lovely Tuesday!
