BB Free Font: Fusty Saddle

June 10, 2008 | Posted in BB Free Fonts, Freebies | 79 Comments »

Alright everyone, I’ve just finished up a new font I’ve been working on for your downloading pleasure! My inspiration for this font came from Sideshow, by Harold’s fonts. I hand drew every character on paper before tweaking them on screen. The font contains A through Z and 0 through 9. In case you’re wondering what ‘fusty’ is, it means “Old fashioned in attitude or style.” It was a fun font to make, and I hope you all put it to good use :)

I’m not much of a designer, but I love finding fun new fonts.
I’ve posted lists of my favorites on my blog, and believe me that yours will be on my next one!

I think I like this one even better than Petie Boy. Great jop as always!
Zach LeBar Jun 10, 08 at 3:18 pm

i can’t believe it! i thought petie boy was such an awesome font. this one is even better.

could you maybe do a post on how to make a font? that’d be sweet!
Christin Jun 10, 08 at 3:43 pm

Thanks Bitt. That’s an awesome western font. What program do you use to create your fonts?
David Jun 10, 08 at 5:12 pm

Excellent font, one of the best western fonts I have seen. Thanks for this !

Tyler Jun 10, 08 at 6:52 pm

Great job, as always. I agree that a post and tutorial about how to create your own fonts and the process you go through would be awesome.

Thanks for your hard work!
Ryan Jun 10, 08 at 7:33 pm

Very nice.
fathima Jun 10, 08 at 9:29 pm

this is gorgeous. thanks!
Ressa Jun 10, 08 at 9:30 pm

Thank you for sharing this, Bitt. I really like it. Can’t wait to find a way to use it.
sarah_cA Jun 10, 08 at 11:08 pm

beautiful work as always. i knew that entire week lapse since your last post meant something good was coming…

…and i agree on the post/tutorial about steps to creating a font.

(along with that, i would like to know if there is any free software out there for those of us who like to try our hand in all facets of the graphic design world without spending bookoo bucks on programs we may end up using once or twice).
Flash Framer Jun 11, 08 at 12:02 am

Very nice font. I’ve been looking for one like this!
BittBox Jun 11, 08 at 12:05 am

@Toby,

I use Fontlab Studio. (after I draw everything and scan it in)

@ everyone else,

I’ll see about putting together a post on how I make fonts.
Glad you like them :)

Gorgeous for a wood-engraved style.
Beautiful work, and thanks for sharing.
Melody Jun 11, 08 at 8:18 am

This is great, just in time for summer shin-digs!
Jaimie Jun 11, 08 at 10:09 am

Thanks for all the great stuff. Cool new font, but don’t taint it by using Brush Script under it on the sample graphic. The only font worse than Comic Sans.

Also, someone mentioned liking western fonts…check out WaldenFont.com.
Alex Jun 11, 08 at 12:09 pm

Thanks for the font! Whenever I need a western looking font I have something to use. Thanks man.
Loren Jun 11, 08 at 1:45 pm

Great font
bridgitwithaneye Jun 11, 08 at 4:50 pm

Thanks for the awesome font…and the addition to my vocabulary. I hope to use “fusty” in a sentence in the near future :)
Props to you!
Askhari Jun 11, 08 at 4:57 pm

Fucking Amazing!
Though I couldn’t ever think of applying this font to plain text, I really can’t wait to use this on one of my next flyers!

The Character this fontface has is awesome, it’s bold and powerful yet so light looking and very playful. One of those font that catches your attention from far but make you want to examin the letters carefully.

Thank you a lot for this beautiful font!
Askhari Jun 11, 08 at 4:59 pm

And somehow, I can’t understand why Jaimie doesn’t like Brush Script ;)
SC Jun 12, 08 at 7:16 am

Thanks, I like the font.
Hope you come up with a tutorial too…

Awesome font. It’s hard to find western fonts that fit with “hip” designs, lol. This will work great, thanks!

awesome fonts! thanks. :)
Andrew D. Jun 25, 08 at 5:51 am

I love the font. One thing, though: Since the font objects are pretty complex, it slows down the refresh of my designs in Corel X3. Also, the font list drop down got buggy when I had it installed, for the same reason. I work around this by just creating an importable CDR file with the font converted to curves.

just want to thanks for all the info and freebies

have a wonderful day

Art Jul 2, 08 at 11:01 pm

I love the look of this font. i can see this used as a very nice disply style type. i would love it if you posted a version that included punctuation. i supose that can be done on my end w/ a little bit of frankenstine style work but to have the characters built into the typeface would be much more convienient. just a few more characters would be great, like

( ) & ! , .[ ] { } ” ‘ ? – /

those would make this font so choice.
pixie-stix Jul 12, 08 at 11:51 pm

Thank you for this great font – an old west stencil, love it!
Robin Jul 29, 08 at 4:42 pm

Zach LeBar Said :”could you maybe do a post on how to make a font? that’d be sweet!”

Absolutely agree:)

I got one question though, what about commercial use for this font? I guess I have to download to check, but it would be nice if it was said before downloading.

Great looking western font!

Like everyone else here, I would like to say you are surely a great artist. I haven’t regretted a single of your downloads.
However, although this font is just beautiful, I think it could be my weak MoBo, I had to delete it! It crashed my drivers and my whole system with a blue screen two times. I think, that is because the file is more than a 1200 KB. That is bigger than the rest of the fonts in the system I have that are merely 20-50 KB. So, the stress on the system might have been high…

Thanks again though!
