Blambot’s FREE font for June– Ashcan

ashcan 20070601 132421 Blambots FREE font for June   AshcanBlambot fontographer, Nate Piekos, attributes his latest FREE font offering, Ashcan, to the times he spent in his early days of self-publishing his comics…

Back before there was a Blambot, I can’t tell you how many nights I spent photocopying my own home-made comics at the local Kinkos. Enough nights to actually look back on it fondly, I suppose. And this font is a tribute to those toner-stained days of innocence. It’s a sloppy, but endearing hand lettered style in regular and bold.

…Ah, the memories…
