FONT FRIDAY: ISSUE 8

Hello! Happy Good Friday, and it's extra good cause we have FONT FRIDAY. Fonts make everything better. I wanted to welcome our newcomer from last week Lauren of Palm Papers.  Love this girl and I can't wait to do my rounds as soon as I get this post up!! WOO HOO. My pic today is PACIFICO from Font Squirrel, which is a FREE commercial font site, so that makes our font today, F-R-E-E! Which is really good for the pocket book.

As far as free fonts go, it's pretty clean.  I did modify them a bit in AI when I did the outlines, but thanks to one of my favorite tools, the shape builder, easy peasy.  This font is really easy to modify, a BIG plus! I'm still a newbie at AI, and I adore the shape builder tool. If you don't know what it does, let me explain.  You can take two shapes, drag the mouse across both, and it magically makes ONE. How simple is that?  No messing around with anchor points or the pen tool.  LOVE. IT. Almost as much as I love fonts, so let's get on it, shall we?



Have a perfectly fabulous and Happy Easter!
The my favorite fiesty broads...and have INCREDIBLE FONT FRIDAY picks too...

    Jenny, you saved me- I saw how odd that looked in outlines and was dreading playing with the Pathfinder to figure out how to fix it :) It looks awesome like that! Love your disclaimer by the way... so true!

    Shape builder is a life saver! I love that you give tips in your post, how awesome is that?

    Plus that bunny is too cool. Happy easter indeed!

    Great AI tip Jenny! I don't think I've ever tried it either so guess what I'll be testing out now? Thanks for sharing. I knew your badge would have a cute little banner on it! I love the saying...why yes, good fonts can change the world, haha :)
