Font rec this week is Bittersweet by Nick Curtis. If you like retro fonts, his whole collection is pretty great.

Download it at dafont.

Here’s a great set of backgrounds that will be free on Design Bundles until 06/30/17.

If you’re following me for news about Tumblr themes, I have one in the works that these would pair really nicely with so you may as well just download them now just in case.

Get them here.

Free Candy Backgrounds and SVGs

I needed some sweets related images to go with the font Candy Randy and this is the result. This package includes the candy outlines with green, orange, purple, and transparent backgrounds, the color candy background, and an SVG file containing all of the individual pieces. Free for whatever use you want.

Download here.

It’s Friday, here’s a good font!

Diagonal Hover Effects with Skew

Just finished up a quick Pen to try out some diagonal swipe/background hover animations using transform: skew.

I have an example page here and you can check out the code below. All of the background images are courtesy of Unsplash It.

CSS Alphabets and Icons

I don’t remember what sent me down this path but here I am browsing through pure CSS lettering and icons. My favorite finds so far:

CSS Sans - Just a basic looking sans serif font but it’s all CSS

CSS Illustration - ABC - A super detailed Art Deco CSS alphabet

Material Design Alphabets in CSS - A cool, colorful geometric alphabet

icono - Single element CSS icons

Friday Font Rec: Zilap Black Storm by LJ Design Studios. It looks like it’s capital letters only but those letters are pretty cool.

Get it for personal use at dafont or check out licensing options here.
