free font friday - via iDIY

1 / 2 / 3 / all FREE downloads from Dafont!

I'm working a 65 hour week so I'm borrowing today's iDIY post, please forgive me!

free font friday - matchbook

How cute is today's font? No, really - how cute is it?  It's available in both serif and sanserif and I can just picture Don Draper approving it for use in an ad for cigarettes or popcicles.

You know who's not approving it? The IT staff at my work... all font installation/administrative rights have been taken away.  Awesome. Thanks.

Happy Friday!

free font friday - comic book commando

Today's free font Friday is one of Andy's favorites. Whenever I'm printing more return address labels for us, it's what he always requests.

I like Comic Book Commando because it comes with 7 different versions: "original," 3D, bold, condensed, italic, distorted and expanded.  It's also a fun font with actually being legible! 

I hope everyone is enjoying the awesome weather this week... I swear, sun + warm weather = instant happiness.  Despite the crap thrown at me daily, this formula has worked wonders this week and I've managed to stay in good spirits.  My new positive attitude could also be from reading The Happiness Project (more on that to come).

free font friday - century gothic

Today's pick is one of my favorite sans serif fonts:

It's my go to font.  Like a little black dress (in my case, dark denim jeans) it goes with everything and can be dressed up or down.  Century Gothic is great for mellowing out a crazy script and complements most fonts extrememely well.  I used it in all lower case along side "CAC Lasko Even Weight" for baby shower invitations - can't wait to show those off!

In an article released today (it's kismet, I tell you!), switching from Arial to Century Gothic could use up to 30% less ink when printing emails.  Not only is it a great looking font, it's also saving the planet.  Can your favorite font do that?

free font friday - pharmacy

From Harold's Fonts:

"PHARMACY was inspired by the sign at a local (Albany, NY) drugstore. Waiting at the red light, I'd often stared at the sign, admiring its jolly and curious mix of upper and lowercase, and of course the peculiar asymmetrical capital A."

free font friday - clementine sketch

Today's featured font is:

by Teagan White

I first encounted this font over at Nuestra Vida Dulce and downloaded it via dafont.com.

This font is a little tricky to use.  In order to have closed letters at the beginning of each word it must be capitalized. 

Also, to "close" each letter be sure to use a ^ (carrot?) after each word. 

 

free font friday - black jack

Since I can't really commit to writing about the topics I've promised (mundane home improvements and de-cluttering), why not try something I love?

My heart literally flutters when I see a scripty font atop someone's blog header. I get palpitations when it's a free download. I'm not even joking. My fingers can hardly type quickly enough to announce today's inaugural font in my new series aptly christened "Free font Friday!" (Apparently I also love alliteration.)

Drum roll please:

I found today's font when perusing the approved font list on Minted.com.  I love its scripty-ness, uneven weight of the type, and the imperfections of the loose loops. 

I'm also a little biased because "Black Jack" is Lebowski's given name ;)
