Here’s another good font: Libre by Ezza Adhreza.

I’ve been working on a project and we needed to add a custom submission form to a Tumblr blog. If you’ve never tried it, it can be a bit of a hassle. Tumblr’s official submission form is in an iframe so you can’t edit the fields or the styles. You can’t use your own server-side scripts.
So after slogging around for a while I came across Dropbox Forms on JotForm and oh my god it’s kind of the greatest. You can embed any kind of form, anywhere on your blog, and it’s easy. Maybe this has been around for a while and I’m just finding out but it’s not the first hit when you Google adding forms to Tumblr and it really should be.
I just updated the full/commercial version of Starry Night to fix a problem some folks were having in Microsoft programs.
If you’ve previously purchased it and need the new one, just let me know.
Cool hand drawn font by Hugo Beyts.

I have it on good authority that these Evelyn Waugh book jackets by Rymn Massand and Bill Brown may be redesigned in the near future so I wanted to collect them all in one place before it happens.
And here are my favorites, in case you’re interested:
Enjoy!
I like this font. It’s spacey and comic-y.
Which makes sense since it’s by Blambot Comic Fonts & Lettering. There’s a lot of good stuff over there. This particular gem is Blam Blam.

I don’t usually recommend strictly commercial fonts. However, while I was handing out the mail at my boring office job one day years ago, I saw this font on a fancy invitation. I couldn’t keep the envelope and had no way of finding it (I wasn’t even sure if it was a font or hand lettering). So I was thrilled when I randomly ran across it again and finally solved the mystery. It’s Restraint by Marian Bantjes and Ross Mills. And it’s gorgeous.
