BB Petie Boy

April 3, 2008 | Posted in BB Free Fonts, Fonts, Freebies | 129 Comments »

I’m proud to release my very first original free font here on BittBox, BB Petie Boy. (Named after a horse I had when I was younger) There are four weights, one of which is a barely legible grunge style. The ‘Destroyed’ weight is the only one without punctuation. Light, Medium, and Heavy all have the necessary characters for typing. Now, before you ask, yes these are free fonts. You can use them in anything you want, even if you sell your design, you just can’t redistribute these fonts, or host them on a server. Anyway, it’s my first font ever. I still have a lot to earn, but I hope you can give some feedback on how to make the next one better. If you have any problems installing, please let me know, but the fonts should work in both Windows and OS X. (not sure about Linux) Previews after the jump.

    Once again you blow me away, thank you for being an inspiration for us all :)

  2. Dashifen Apr 3, 08 at 3:53 pm

    I especially like the serif you added to the numeral 3 and 5. Very nice fonts. I’ll have find a place to use them and, if I do, I’ll let you know!

  3. Kennon Apr 3, 08 at 3:53 pm

    Thanks a bunch! As always, wonderful work!

  4. Ruben Apr 3, 08 at 4:05 pm

    very cool job!
    thanks for sharing it :)

  5. FireOrchid Apr 3, 08 at 4:08 pm

    First font?? I’m impressed. Really like the Q, and I’m teetering between love and hate with regards to the 4, which i think is meant to be a compliment :p

  6. terriblecow Apr 3, 08 at 4:13 pm

    Such excellent work can only be the product of timeless hours spent in front of the computer. Go get some sunshine! Then come back and gimmie more!!
    Love your work!

  7. Zach Apr 3, 08 at 4:32 pm

    I LOVE THEM!

    I’m totally going to use these. i really like the hand drawn aspect to them, gives them a very natural look. What program/how did you make them? Maybe after you’ve gotten the hang of it, you could post some kind of tut/walk through. as always it would be appreciated. keep up the awesome work.

  8. barbara Apr 3, 08 at 4:39 pm

    Thanks a lot :-)
    very nice fonts . And of course they work in Linux !
    Like all other ttf fonts :-)

  9. Yves Apr 3, 08 at 4:44 pm

    Thanks a lot, masterpiece for a first font !

  10. Dima Apr 3, 08 at 4:53 pm

    Thanks a lot, great job on the font, especially taking into account that it’s your first try in creating fonts.

    Talking about feedback and improvements, well…I have nothing to critic, I like this font.

    So, to cut the story short, good job, and will be waiting to see some more.

    Once again, thank you!

  11. toby Apr 3, 08 at 5:03 pm

    These are reeaallly good Bitt. Damn that must have taken a while! For a first go I’d say you nailed it!

    Thanks for your generosity.

    Thanks bit! These are wicked cool.

  14. Jon Sperry Apr 3, 08 at 8:49 pm

    Very nice font set. Great work, as usual.

    Any plans on doing a tutorial on your process of font making?

  15. Loren Apr 3, 08 at 9:11 pm

    I’m working on a grunge/western poster. This would be perfect. Nice work.

  16. Chey Apr 3, 08 at 9:12 pm

  22. Mandar Apr 4, 08 at 5:44 am

    Hi Bitt,

    Is it possible for you to give us a isight of Font Making as I am also have a ready font in my illastrator file visualised by me. If possible please state Things to take in cosideration, Font Tools to be used etc.

  23. Shim Apr 4, 08 at 5:48 am

    Just…fantastic. Nice first font! Congrats.

    Has it’s problems though – I can’t seem to use the Light version. It gets installed (with AMP Font Viewer and “Windows/Fonts/Install new font” too), but PS/Indy CS3 can’t recognize it.
    The other three weights work well.

  24. SnakeJake Apr 4, 08 at 5:50 am

    Those are amazing! I can see a use for these babies right away. If I use them in one of my bookcovers I will send you a copy of the book. (you CAN read Dutch right?!)

  25. dominik Apr 4, 08 at 6:06 am

    a tutorial on how to make a font or how to edit an existing font would be great….

  26. Alain Apr 4, 08 at 6:09 am

    Nice work.
    I do feel that fonts that offer a complete set with accents is a big plus.
    Fonts can be used worldwide and not offering accents limits the font quite a bit.
    At least french, german and spanish.
    That being said, the font looks great.

  27. Annette Apr 4, 08 at 6:15 am

    These are wonderful! You do such an amazing job – thank you for all your hard work.

  28. tdub Apr 4, 08 at 6:58 am

    Stellar work!! What program was used to make this? I have been wanting to make my own dingbat set for a while.

  29. Brent Apr 4, 08 at 7:16 am

    love them. Now I’ll have to find a reason to use them.

    Thank you so much for this, beautiful work!

  36. shannon Apr 4, 08 at 12:30 pm

    i just want to second (third? fourth?) the idea of a tutorial on font making. I’ve spent some time sketching out a few fonts to trace in freehand, but i have no idea how to go about making a font you can install and use in other applications.

    this font looks awesome, and i can assure you i’ll be using it in a project!

  37. Jen Germann Apr 4, 08 at 1:03 pm

    Nice job, Bitt! Thanks for sharing.

  38. Faith Apr 4, 08 at 1:17 pm

    excellent font :)

    “I still have a lot to earn,” freudian slip?

  41. michelle Apr 4, 08 at 1:54 pm

    What a GORGEOUS font ? Thank you so much.

  42. michelle Apr 4, 08 at 1:59 pm

    Erk. That “?” in my last post was supposed to be the unicode heart character, U + 2764. Seems like the blog didn’t know what to do with that. Sorry.

    Anyway, you get the idea. :D Thanks again.

    When I try to use these fonts in Microsoft Word, “Petie Boy” is heavy, “Petie Boy Destroyed” is correct, “Petie Boy Heavy” is also destroyed, and “Petie Boy Medium” is light. Am I the only one having these issues?

  70. Danni Apr 16, 08 at 12:37 pm

    LOVE the font, thanks! :)

  71. Emiko Apr 16, 08 at 8:47 pm

    Hi Al, My friend and I both downloaded the fonts, for her only the light and medium can be seen, and for me only the medium and destroyed. So an issue, kind of similar….? But still like it. We’re both on PC’s when we downloaded the font.

  85. RoseAddict Jul 5, 08 at 10:42 am

    In the set I downloaded, everything is correct except the BB PB Light, which is actually destroyed. I’ll check back occasionally to see whether this has been updated.

    If Michelle happens to check back, I just want to tell her that unicode won’t work here. Html for ♥ is &+hearts+;. (Remove + signs.) That should work here. (At least it better work, or I’ll end up looking rather silly!) ;-)

  102. Jay Hilgert Jan 12, 09 at 12:45 pm

    @wenmyoung,

    The only thing I can think of is a naming problem. You can always uninstall all the weights except for the destroyed, and I think it will work.
