Fabulous Fonts
week of September 18, 2001This online newsletter page is from 2001 and may contain some outside links that are out-of-date (no longer working). However, because it also contains links to various font downloads and tutorials from this site it is being kept online.
It's Been A Long Time
Our last issue was at the end of April. My how time flies. Our sometimes weekly Fabulous Fonts are back this week with some Stars & Stripes in remembrance of the lives lost and those forever changed on September 11, 2001. In addition to the two fonts, each of the sample graphics utilizing that font is free for your use as well. (Sorry, No Mac version of any of these fonts.)
Featured Fab Font #1: American Dream
American Dream by Melle Derieppe Claude features block letters with a stars and stripes theme. The lower case are a smaller size of the upper case capitals. In the image to the left the characters USA are from this font and have been colorized in Corel Photo-Paint. This image is free for your use. Size is 250 x 170 pixels on a white, non-transparent background. Right-click (or click/hold on Mac) on the image then choose Save. The file is named fab091801a.gif.
