Promises Made to be Broken? | Free Fonts for Peas

I know I said I will update more often but see, I broke that promise to myself again. Taking a long break from working and blogging (yes not just in this site) was definitely not good for me since I have the tendency to stall a bit more after vacationing.

Anyway, for anything artsy, you might find these free fonts interesting. Click the image to download.

I love handwritten fonts, they’re best for journaling! Thanks to Kevin and Amanda for always always giving away free fonts. I know the new fonts were made available in December but what the heck, they’re still up (even the old ones are still live), so light as well grab and use them when we still can, right?

Font Hunt

For the longest time, I was bugging my friend Zanne to tell me which font she used for her scrap blog. But since her laptop (or external hard drive) crashed, she could not find the .psd file of her header thus she can’t also name the font. Here’s a screen cap of part of the header:

While nothing seemed to be a perfect match, I appreciate that someone actually tried to help me. Kolibri I think is the nearest match. And since I am not too particular with every stroke, I am happy with these discoveries. However, if you have leads on the original one, I’d be a happy camper too! :D

Arial and Helvetica

I was gone (read:offline) for a few days because it got crazy around here. I had tons to do IRL and then Typhoon Basyang hit the country late Tuesday into early Wednesday which caused the electricity to get cut off for 28 hours! We are luckier than some because as of this writing, only about 50% of electricity around MM was restored.

Anyway, the font “comic cans” recently got flak in the internet when an NBA team owner used it to write an open letter to his (ex) star player. A few weeks before, it was the “papyrus” which was a hot topic. That is when I realized that a lot of people really take fonts seriously, especially the typographers. While I find nothing wrong with the mentioned fonts, more people feel otherwise. So basically it is better to choose safer fonts like Arial and Helvetica. Here is a nice comparative image of the two fonts which I find interesting :)
