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!
