Six Caps

Vernon Adams, from Reading, UK is a super productive (one a week is his goal!) web font designer has brought Six Caps to light, a very nice narrow sans-serif caps only face that reminds me of some old wood display type but also has a modern streamlined feeling.  In some ways it reminds me of a good old angular tall stand-by; Agency Compressed from Font Bureau with refined, smoother composition. Download the truetype Six Caps font and start capping and be sure to check out Vernon’s web-site for his new faces at http://code.newtypography.co.uk/.

The Lobster Font

The Lobster Font, version 1.3, crafted by Pablo Impallari based in Rosario, Argentina is “a lovely bold condensed script fully loaded with hundreds of subtle ligatures and alternates.” Pablo says further “A common problem that affect most script fonts, is that each letter must be draw in a way that connect with the next and previous letters. And that’s quite difficult.  By having 26 lowercase character, that gives you more than 600 possible combinations for each letter (and arround 15600 for the whole alphabet). It’s next to impossible to make it always connect seamlessly without compromising the shape that each letter was originally intended to be.” Download The Lobster Font OTF files.

Bud Null

Bud Null, from Tucson, Arizona based John David from Hands Off! fonts, is a nice free hand-done font that has some of the spirit of Corvinus Skyline mixed with the more straight laced EF Candida. Nice and easy to use, refreshing on a hot summer day. Download TTF of Bud Null.
