Grunge Serifia Font OTF

I love the scratches in this one. A great font for a metal band.

Killed Dj

A really cool font for a rave or a night club.

Pulse Sans Virgin

This is a really out-of-control font. I really dig the seismograph vibration through all the letters.
The King & Queen Font

What's cool about this font is the little imperfections, like the ink marks splattered around the letters. It's designed to look like you actually wrote these with a pen and ink.
Abusive Pencil

This one is just crazy! It's like how I used to write when I was angry and in high school.
Helvetica

This is one of the most wildly used fonts in the world. You can find it everywhere from street signs to the American Apparel logo.

Fonts, or typefaces, have been around for centuries. Typographers are like artists for fonts, designing interesting and practical fonts for businesses. But do you think fonts are really a form of art, or are they just a necessity?

I believe it's an art form in the purest sense!

love to drink 'em down and imagine uses; sure they're a necessity (for those of us who still read) but they also are art, baby, art!

Fonts are another tool for branding your company or organization.

I think they're wonderful. Ever since I saw an illustrated something or other with the first letter fancied up in a square, i was intrigued. Now there are a jillion fonts. I like to change my fonts to add to the things i send emails or write about. For instance Comic sans is for jokes, and Ariel is for serious things. I seldome use New York Times.. those serifs drive me crazy.

I think they are a form of art. Not only are fonts meticulously designed and crafted things in of themselves, they also complement and enhance digital art.
