Clients From Hell
As designers we all dread working for those Clients From Hell, why not tweet your nightmare?

I’ve been working on a new typeface based off the classic Bauhaus font. This type is made up of solid colors and lots of lines and will be available as a free download. The font will be a handset type (.eps) allowing anyone to easily tweak the color and shapes.

Smashing Magazine has posted a list of 25 free quality fonts.  I took a look over them and while some are mediocre there are a a couple pretty nice ones I would recommend downloading. Head over when you get the chance and get some free fonts. 

Typedia is a very helpful site that educates users on type faces. As they stated “think of it like a mix between IMDB and Wikipedia, but just for type”, that is pretty much exactly what it is.  Typedia allows users to explore the current content, learn about typeface and if anyone is insightful enough they can add or share what they know.

Just My Type is an awesome free font site created by Jakob Nylund.  Unlike many other free font sites around the web, the fonts featured on this site are superb and very well designed.  All fonts are downloadable .ai files and currently there are 8 quality fonts awaiting your use.

The font above was created by two photographers and a pro race pilot. The process of creating this font was really creative, be sure to check out the video as well.
