Here we go with another round up of some cool fonts for your web and graphic designs. Some of these fonts are free for personal use only while others are free for both personal and commercial use.
jkr, a London-based creative agency, published an anthology book of their Design Gazette blog encompassing design, marketing and how they intertwine with today’s culture. The book’s name is “the blue lady’s new look and other curiosities” and they have kindly gifted me a copy so I wanted to share my thoughts on this good book which is not only very interesting if you’re in the field, it is, as most good things are, entertaining and even fun to read.
Publishing with Tutorial9 in the past has been a great experience: David Leggett is a grea guy and he gives you complete creative freedom, resulting in works like the Cute Critters and the Watercolor icons. Today T9 published my Holiday Layer Styles to enrich your designs for this season! Thanks Tutorial9!
Another week comes to an end and we have another selection of free fonts for your design work. We have two condensed beauties, Stahlbeton and Melbourn, one of them bold and the other one delicate, plus a cool geometric font, Nevis, and one slick serifed typeface, Jura.
Alan Ariail is a lettering artist with more than 25 years of experience. Believe it or not, his astounding work always start with traditional materials: pen, ink, brushes and markers, sometimes finishing it digitally, and you can see on his blog how close the traditional media rendering is to the digitally polished.
We have three new typefaces this week and they are awesome as well as available for free. District Thin is offered in one weight of a beautiful sans-serif available in fourteen more variants, Titre is a classical serif and CK Growing Up is a cool handwritten font with a very particular design.

While I refrain myself from getting into discussions about something that somebody else said, the last article by Cameron Chapman in SmashingMagazine made me think. Ok, it got me angry because of the dangerous pretentious of the article: considering graphic design irrelevant and worst of all, unnecessary. After reading something I find so shallow and biased, I decided to write a response to it.
