Free Friday – Font

September 3, 2010 at 9:23 AM · Filed under Fonts

I’m starting a new feature on my blog today. It’s called Free Friday and every week on Friday (I know you never would have guessed which day from the title) I will be offering a great design freebie that I have come across. It could be a font, texture, photo, sound clip, etc… It will always be something different, but rest assured it will be quality and it will cost you nothing! I hope you have a great weekend.

This weeks freebie is a font called Code by Font Fabric. It looks great on titles and posters. You can download it here.
