Font poster for Beauty Glitch, a glitchy looking bold sans-serif

I really love the distortion effect on Beauty Glitch by 177Studio. The font itself is a bold sans-serif and the glitches are finely detailed for a really cool look. It's free for personal use only.

Looking for some thick, blobby cursive

My sister asked me to help her find a font she saw in an Instagram ad that could best be described as thick or blobby cursive. Although I couldn't find an exact match (Klangfarbe below is probably closest), I did run across some good ones. I tried to include one free for personal use but the other two are commercial only.

The New Start (or Blank's Script Font because it's available as a duo) by Billy Argel.

Demo poster for Abhartach, a funky display font

This year has been busy and I've been a little distracted. But, with everything out in the world looking pretty bleak right now, it's nice to spend some time focusing on things that are... nice.

Abhartach is a funky font by Fontdation (seemingly also known as Twicolabs). It has a late sixties feel while also being modern. I also really love the sample images here. Free for demo use only.

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.
