New Font: Bar Book!

I’m sure someone has tackled this subject matter before but a) I was in the mood for a quick dinbat font and b) thought it would be fun to try my take on it.

Bar Book is a cocktail themed dingbat and the letters are glasses, bottles, and drinks. The numbers are accessories and garnishes that you can use to create your own combinations.

The font is free for personal use and commercial licensing is available for $15. Get it here or at Creative Market.

CSS3 Animated Geometric Loaders

A lot of Destiny playing has been going on in my apartment lately and after weeks of seeing it whenever I glanced up at the TV screen, I was inspired to work on a few geometric animations.

You can view the results here.

The code is embedded below or you can get it directly at CodePen.

Google Fonts Links

I’ve moved this blog around and tried out different platforms over the years and as a result, seem to have lost some links I wanted to hang on to. Links like these Google Fonts pairing resources. They come in extremely handy for picking out headline and body fonts for themes.

New Tumblr Theme: Flexo Theme!

So I wanted to get better at using flexbox and break the habit of automatically typing float: left whenever I need a column and a new Tumblr theme seemed like the best way to practice.

Flexo theme is the result and it’s available in Tumblr’s Theme Garden here. You can also check out the preview blog here.

Reblogged from vintagegeekculture:

This book is from 1959. Do you recognize the title typeface?

The Jurassic Park title font, Neuland, was originally created in 1923. There are examples of it going back to the silent film era. It actually predates the venerable and ancient Times New Roman by several years! (Times New Roman was created by the London Times in 1931.)

CSS3 Animated Social Sharing Buttons Revisted

An update on a quick post I wrote a while back about some social sharing buttons I was working on. I just cleaned up that pen a bit — created examples for each sharing service, prefixed the CSS, added a new animation option — so a demo page to show them off seemed in order.

The demo page is here and the code is here.

I should also mention that the social icons all come from Font Awesome and the background were much easier thanks to this post.
