These brushes come from an interesting source, microscopic photos of some hand-scratched 35mm film. I scratched up some film with a thumbtack, photographed them, vectorized the lines, then grunged them up a bit in Photoshop to create these brushes. Hope you enjoy! Each one is 2500×1800.

A clean & professional serif might be at home on a site that takes itself seriously, while a quirky sans serif might be a better fit for a site with a playful personality.

As Information Architect Oliver Richenstein famously wrote in 2006, web design is 95% typography – so getting the right typeface for your design is important. We’ve selected some beautiful free fonts that are just waiting to be added to your next design.
