Interesting (Free) Typefaces That I Have Used Recently...

Okay, to the regular designer, its a bit "wrong" to use themed and free typefaces.
But, I use them when I make them my own and manipulate or alter them in some way. I never use them the way they are given just to make something look themed to suit its purpose.



1. EGYPTIENNE ZIERINITIALIEN

Used this for a circus-themed project for packaging design. Its highly ornate (but beautiful) -there wasn't much I could do with it, except combine it with other typefaces for that circus poster look. The image above I found from a tote bag design while blogging.


2. AFARAT BLADY

Used this for a graphic design proj, but my-oh-my, I had to Adobe Illustrate the shit outta this one. In the end: so worth it.



3. ECUYER DAX

This one provided a good basis for a money font plus another one I found. Really, who wants to find a way to draw these characters yourself when you can fuck around with these ones already made for you? (I tried photoshopping a dollar bill as well-did not work.) This one was free, there's a better one that is more expensive, but this works for now.


Yeah they are free and supposed poorly-designed and whatnot, but they are specialty typefaces you can use as a foundation. they come in handy - in the end, you are the designer.
