| Hello, my name is Sara, and
I am a fontaholic. (You
can read my confession here.)
At some point, many font addicts find it
is no longer enough merely to consume the fonts others have created.
There will simply never, ever be enough fonts to satisfy our
need. And once we think we have seen them all, a desperate and
very dangerous panic sets in. "What if I can't find a new
font tomorrow or the next day?" wonders the fontaholic with
mounting anxiety. "How on earth will I waste my time once
I've downloaded and organized every font in existence? Where
will I go? What will I do? Who will I become?"
In order to be assured of a constant supply
of new typefaces, it is at this point that the advanced fontaholic
will seek out instruction and tools for making his or her own
fonts. At this stage, the disease is certainly critical, and
probably incurable.
I have reached this stage. I say this with
neither pride nor shame. It was inevitable, and now it is fact.
In order to enable blatantly the addiction
of others, I present the products of my own forays into typography
here. Enjoy. |
This is my contribution to the Futurex
global free font collaboration project, begun by Graham Meade
and Apostrophe. To download, and to see what others have made,
and maybe to make your own variation, visit the "Mix"
section of the
L'ab. |
This is a font family I've begun
for a project I haven't gotten around to yet. More members of
this family are planned; right now there are just "normal"
and "oblique." To download a 407.5 kb .zip file containing
TrueType and PostScript 1 files (PC only*) of what I have now,
click the image above. |

This is my contribution to the most
awesome ProGothics** project. To go straight to the
download page to collect this font and other gothic/fraktur fonts
by several designers worldwide, click here.

This is my contribution to CybaPee's
tribute to Jami, the beloved, recently retired founder and webmaster
of the late lamented True Type Resource. CybaPee and some others
have taken the torch from Jami and are continuing the work he
started over several different sites as Typesource by Proxy. You can download this
font and other people's offerings on the "Font Happening" page. |
*If you have a
Mac, you might wish to download a font convertor in order to
facilitate your addiction. A lot of users of CNET seem to like
CrossFont, a $45.00 shareware item you can try for free here.
**These pages are mostly in German.
If this is not your cup of beer, try visting the Babel
Fish and entering http://www.fugit-tempus.de/progothics/index.htm
into the "web page" field. (Just make sure you send
a big "thank you" to Gene Roddenberry and Douglas Adams
for inspiring whole generations of engineers when you do.) The
translation isn't perfect, but it'll give you the gist of what
these folks are up to and why.
All the fonts available here
and on pages linked to this one are free to use and distribute
as you see fit, as long as you do not try to rename or resell
them. Except where expressly indicated to the contrary, everything
on this page, the words, the graphics and the fonts available
for download, are the original creation and intellectual property
of me, Sara. The only font exception is Futurex Swish; this was
built using forms created by Graham Meade and Apostrophe, and
my variation remains their intellectual property along with the
original. Everything else here is mine, mine, mine, copyright
