I’ve been so busy with my own fonts lately that I haven’t had made any recommendations. So, to rectify that oversight, allow me to draw your attention to Problematic Piercer by Vinterstille. It has a cool futuristic, sci-fi feel.

BIKES!

Do you enjoy spring afternoons, nostalgia, and, most importantly, bikes?

Then have I got a font for you.

BIKES. It’s a dingbat composed solely of bikes. Vintage, luxury, tandem. What more could you want?

The capital letters are detailed illustrations while the lowercase are simplified versions for smaller uses.

There's More Than One of Everything

I think the reason I enjoy Fringe so much is it’s similarity to this childhood favorite. Just replace Joshua Jackson with koala bears.

Speaking of, back before Lost revealed itself to be some sort of elaborate practical joke, there was so much fantastic Lost art on the internet. Why isn’t there any Fringe art? There’s so much to work with. Observers. Zeppelins. Different colored universes. Get on it nerds.

I’ve wanted to do a leafy, viney kind of font but never manage to get around to it. Luckily, there are great fonts available already like Leafy by West Wind Fonts. It even comes with an awesome shaded version.

Sample: “Money is like a child—rarely unaccompanied. When it disappears, look to those who were supposed to be keeping an eye on it while you were at the grocery store. You might also look for someone who has a lot of extra children sitting around, with long, suspicious explanations for how they got there.”

I’d forgotten how much I love Lemony Snicket.

Bound to happen sooner or later

Tumblr has joined Facebook, Twitter, io9, Dirty Bird To Go, Target.com, and Historic Hudson Valley on the very, very long list of websites blocked on my office computer.

Thank you Blackberry app.

I really like the old timey hand drawn effect. I also like the author’s claim that “Androids who appreciate good artwork like this font” because it started me wondering about the programming of such androids.
