I just added two more styles to the Hellmuth font family. The package now includes a shadowed version plus a shadow only option (seen above) for easier stacking.
Get the free personal version here and if you’ve already purchased a license and want the updated commercial files, just shoot me an email.

I recently received an email asking how the animals and letters match up in the OrigamiBats font and it occurred to me that maybe that would be useful information for other users. So here’s the list:
A - Crane
B - Hummingbird
C - Swan
D - Dove
E - Rooster
F - Butterfly
G - Peacock
H - Owl
I - Turtle
J - Fish
K - Fish
L - Fish
M - Whale
N - Frog
O - Cat
P - Dog
Q - Mouse
R - Fox
S - Rabbit
T - Squirrel
U - Pig
V - Bear
W- Elephant
X - Giraffe
Y - Monkey
Z - Dragon
As you can see, I don’t know a lot about fish.
There are multiple posts on this blog, spread out over years, apologizing for neglecting font recommendations and pledging to do better. These are inevitably followed by being really motivated for about a month before relapsing into being too lazy to just post a link to one of the many fonts I’ve already downloaded and loved.
But this time things are going to be different! I’ll post a new font every Friday. I’ll call it Free Font Fridays and it’ll happen every week on the same day because it’s right there in the name.
And I’m re-starting today with a good one! Insert Fun by Xerographer Fonts is a little light on punctuation but the texture and shading is fantastic.
Free for personal use only.

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.
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.
Hey, it’s a new handwritten font! This download also includes a bold version and you can get it here.
A really useful guide for improving front-end performance PLUS a great example of the Horseshoes font on the web.
