Dragon Bones– Blambot’s FREE font for February

preview dragonbones 20090202 215110 Dragon Bones   Blambots FREE font for FebruaryI can’t believe it’s February 2009 already.

It’s a new month and that means a new FREE font from Blambot. For February 2009, it’s Dragon Bones.

Says fontmaster, Nate Piekos, With regular, italic and bold included, Dragonbones is perfect as the voice for your ancient wyrm or snivelling goblin. On an interesting side note, I challeneged myself to create a font from start to finish in 24 hours. Dragonbones is it! Of course it helped that I needed a font like this for the voice of Frog Thor in a new Marvel book. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Blambot’s FREE font for December is Marooned on Mars

preview mom 20081126 202110 Blambots FREE font for December is Marooned on MarsIf memory serves (and with each passing year, it serves a bit less accurately) Blambot usually offers a festive FREE font during the month of December. This year, the free font isn’t all that Christmassy but does hava classic comic lettering style: Marooned on Mars.

Nate Piekos, the font’s creator, describes it as a classic, sci-fi, brush-style font to “trumpet the arrival of your new alien overlords!” It’s beauteous.

Note:I don’t mention this as often as I should, but Blambot’s free fonts are free for not-for-profit use and for independent comics. Read the free fonts license agreement for details.

Elder Gods is Blambots Free font for October

eldergods 20081002 201127 Elder Gods is Blambots Free font for OctoberI bet it’s hard for Blambot fontmaster, Nate Piekos, to decide how to best exemplify the Halloweenness of the month of October with a free font when he does so many fantastic and sometimes horrific fonts all year ’round.

This October, Nate has created a font he calls Elder Gods and this is how he announces it to the world.

Got your stuff packed? Clean underwear? Good, because the Elder Gods have awakened from their subterranean slumber, and you’re their new servant…FOREVER! Upper and lowercase font with a staggered baseline and it comes with Regular and Italic!

Since fonts are like little programs on your machine, you should be pretty selective of who you chose to download fonts from–especially free fonts. I have no problem recommending Blambot fonts and I hope you will give the pro fonts (the ones you have to pay for) a try as well.
