Demo poster for Gremlin, a boxy outline font

I've recommended a couple TypeFactory fonts already but Gremlin is also a good one. It's a boxy outline font and free for personal use. My only complaint is that it was a little hard to look up by name because SEO really prefers the title font from the movie Gremlins.

I was looking at ocean themed fonts recently and Ocean Wave by 177 Studio really caught my eye. The wave illustrations inside each letter are fantastic and so detailed. Free for personal use only.

Other honorable mentions in my search were Spirited Away by DaptsFonts and Squid Junkie by Måns Grebäck.

First font download of the year! Nature Impact by 177 Studio is a really cool display font filled with outdoorsy illustrations. Not sure what I'll use it for yet but I wanted to have it just in case. Free for personal use/demo purposes.

Did I claim to be taking a break from groovy, sixties inspired fonts? That was an obvious lie.

I'm breaking my word with Starday by Lettersweet. It's a fun, retro font and free for personal use.

Recommending two fonts with a similar vibe by the same foundry. Why choose? Pearson and Philipa are two tall, bottom heavy fonts by TypeFactory. Free for personal use.

Download at Font Space (Pearson, Philipa) or buy at Creative Fabrica (Pearson, Philipa).

ZT Shago by Zelow Type is a pretty fun, unique font family. The regular version is available to download free for personal use although I'm most partial to the extra rounded bolder weights.

Been traveling a lot lately and got behind on trying out new fonts so I’ll just post one every Friday until I’m back on my one a month schedule.

Ring Angle by Isolatype is a fun, hand drawn font that would be good for kids books or projects. It’s free for personal use and includes an italic style. I especially like the alternate characters (like the R, g, and A above)!
