Fat Boy Free Font

Is it me or does saying Fat Boy Free Font 3 times fast seem like it could be difficult? This was created by Matt Braun and Matt Griffin. It's the first of 10 rare wood type faces to be digitized. They have a kickstarter project which they are trying to salvage some old type faces and transfer them into Open Type Faces. You can view their mission here.

Free Font at Hydro74.com UPDATE: NO LONGER FREE


UPDATE: This Font is no longer free. Please view Legacyofdefeat.com to purchase

Joshua Smith posted a font to download for free. Here is what he had to say about this font and the reasoning why he's making it free :


"When I got back recently from LA I wanted to work on a really raw street tag font with a slight greaser vibe. Nothing over the top, but just to get started in creating some new typefaces. Use and abuse this one. Pretty much a free resource. If you dig this font, check out my others at my store. There are a bunch of cheap ones and some really nice scripts there too.


Just so you know. I really appreciate a majority of designers out there. Also I know that things have been rough with design lately due to economic shifts and layoffs. This is my way of showing the community that I love a little support. This typeface isn’t for everyone, I know, but it could help on something and maybe help add that edge to a piece that you can invoice for. It’s not much, but just my way of giving back!"
