Font Update: Billy Argel

Granted, some of these aren’t entirely that recent, but I haven’t posted about fonts in a while. All three of these fonts are from one of my favorite font designers, Billy Argel. All of them have somewhat of a western feel to them, which I enjoy. They can be downloaded free for personal use, but commercial licenses can be purchased if you need one.

BB Free Font: Whiteboard Modern Demo

I’ve got another demo font to release to everyone. I call this one Whiteboard Modern and It’s a little different then my usual style. Whiteboard Modern was hand drawn, but created entirely with a Wacom tablet and Illustrator. Anyway, I was just wanting to try something new and see what I could come up with. I’m learning more each time. Hope you like the demo :)

How to: Make a Hand-Drawn Font

Before I start, let me say that this is by no means the only way to make a hand drawn font. Ever since I began giving away fonts, I’ve had many requests for me to write a tutorial on my font making process, so here it is. This is how I do it, and depending on your responses, I can go deeper into a FontLab Studio tutorial. This tutorial, however, is designed to reveal my process from start to finish. A lot of you may not have FontLab Studio, so you may need to adapt the second half of the tutorial to whatever font software you may have access to. Here we go.

BB Free Font: 23rd Street Demo Version

I almost forgot I had this font laying around. It’s called 23rd Street, and it’s another free demo version font for everyone to download. It’s not my best font, but it’s still a font :) Click here if you’re interested in the full version. I just started a big project, so I’ll get on those vectors in a couple days. I’ve also been listening to all of the comments about a portfolio wordpress theme, and I think I might be able to come up with something sufficient. Time will tell. Hope you like the font :)
