I will spare you the oh my darlings, Clementine Sketch is nice in an old-school sort of way, script-like and hand drawn, with an inline fancy flair that feels like a varsity jacket or school logo maybe. Clementine Sketch is the work of chicago resident – currently based at minneapolis college of art & design – freelance designer and illustrator Teagan White. Her website states “Her experience working with a diverse range of clients, from those in the music, fashion, and editorial industries to small business owners and individuals, has allowed her to reject much of the sterility of contemporary design in favor of an aesthetically-focused approach that bridges the perceived gap between graphic design and illustration. Intricate linework, naturalistic rendering, and subdued color are integral to her visual identity, while a fascination with natural history, antiquities, and mortality drives the content of her work.” and i think that pretty much is embodied in Clementine.

Extrafine flys in from Chicagoland area designer/illustrator/typographer/printmaker/musician Miko Ramirez. It’s another handy drawn font, scritchy scratchy and all rough-hewn, has a nice rugged authentic feel to it – ya know what I mean? Not too much to think about – just Download this – extrafine ttf.

Journal is the name of a typeface from well known design house Emigre, but this isn’t what you will find here – this is Journal from the Scandivanian Font Foundry, dependent on travel - Fontourist. Journal is a nice, simple hand script that isn’t fancy or frilly, it’s sort of what you would expect to find in a journal or diary and remains easy to read but isn’t the typical run of the mill script – Journal is a good choice for something familiar but different. Hit the road! Download the Journal Truetype font.

“Over the highways and byways the pilgrim goes aflame with the name of my small black rose.” Hey, I think I went to an Irish Pub called the Black Rose in Boston once or twice .. Well, this font has nothing to do with that, but it is a nice face with some interesting flair. A sort of swashy hand drawn cursive flow, maybe sort of pirate-like I would say. (that bar was down by the water) I could see this carved into the name plaque of a pirate ship. Black Rose TTF is from prolific freeware font creator Bright Ideas. Download Black Rose!

PK&co., from Laurent Savoie of Project Paint it Black in France is a dense, bold font choice – just for fun!! pas d’utilisation commerciale! Download PK&Co. TTF!

KINKY is a personal lettering project from French designer (now based in Oslo) Fabrice Bats a 5ive – it’s a nice, chucky straight angled and kinda choppy looking font, great for headlines and such – not body copy (no, it isnt 3D) – “NOTE: It’s not a real type, I mean… not like a Georgia, Helvetica… with great kerning, terrific, good options…This lettering is just thought for graphic element uses. (Not for long text). Yes, it’s not perfect, I know, but I like it anyway. And after some demands I just wanted to convert it in .ttf, to use it more easily instead of using Illustrator, in a “letter by letter” process…” Download Kinky TTF beta2.

I like Brazillian designer Galdino Otten’s design here – Haus Sweet Haus – it’s pretty fun and unique, would be at home in a headline or logo design that calls for legible from afar sans serif sensibility but retains some fun funky quirkyness. Download and enjoy Haus Sweet Haus TTF.
