For artists, by artists.


Letterhead Font’s collection of retro designer fonts are addictive. Purchasing is fast and easy, and they provide a gallery of real world samples, tips and tricks, and even a “type tester” for previewing your headline or logo. My personal favorite is Royal Script (Revised) as seen in “creative juice” and on Bixby’s Original Peanut Brittle. Just had to pass along these great fonts.

Conversely, check out the valiant effort to permanently extinguish the use of Comic Sans over at BanComicSans.com

Favorite excerpt from the site:
“...You might be interested to know that I am a college instructor in history. As I was grading essays today on the rather somber subject of slavery and the mental anguish it can cause, I came across an essay written entirely in Comic Sans! Ridiculously inappropriate to say the least. I instantly wanted to toss the essay in my paper shredder, but couldn’t get the rotten staple out before I calmed down.

Keep up the fight against this flippant and pervasive menace!”
