Celebrating Dads and Grads<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past weekend I was making a Father’s Day card for my dad and birthday cards for my oldest grandson and only granddaughter. Do you think I could find a font I liked for my Father’s Day card? Because I HAD to get the card in the mail, I went with something lackluster and decided I’d find some better options for next time. And while I was at it, I looked for some fonts to celebrate graduations too. All the fonts to come below are free at dafont.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and I’m barely scratching the surface; have a look around and you’ll see. Each font’s name is linked directly to the website for quick-and-easy downloads. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the grads, since a lot of those have already happened. First up is Sports Jersey<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. It’s pretty generic school-wise, and can easily represent any level of education. I could see it working well with the title echo tutorial<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

XII Don’t Mess With Vikings<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is similar, but narrower and bulkier. It would be easy to echo too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I like Striped Campus<\/strong><\/a><\/span> because it reminds me of old-school lettermen’s jackets. Each of the grad fonts are suitable for both titles and journaling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a way, Fine College<\/strong><\/a><\/span> does too. I think these two serif fonts could be echo-able if there’s enough space between the letters and the echoes. I might have to try it. All of these fonts are Father’s-Day-worthy as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now for the Dads… Wrestlemania<\/strong><\/a><\/span> would be a great title font and is legible enough for journaling. (In our family though, wrestling is more of a gal-thing: my grandmother was a huge fan, while a (female) cousin and her daughters are all champion wrestlers.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This Glimmer of Light<\/strong><\/a><\/span> font is so classy and elegant! As you can see, it’s an all-caps font with some swashy letters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a hint of western flair, Dakota<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is masculine without being toxically so. It’s another all-caps font, and is good for both titles and text.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s another classy but masculine font called Baroneys<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. It’s got a bit of an art deco look to it and zoomed in, there’s some flannel texture too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I chose this one because it’s so much fun. The Amazing Spider-Man<\/strong><\/a><\/span> brings Peter Parker to life!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These extra characters can be used for all kinds of things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your Dad is the rugged, outdoorsy expert in antiquities type, Indiana Jonas<\/strong><\/a><\/span> has you covered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Or… if he’s a gear-head robot master in his early 40s, there’s always Transformers<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Woodcut<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is for the man who likes camping, fishing or woodworking. There are so many ways this font can be customized too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And rounding out our baker’s dozen, Sherlock Press<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is masculine but urbane, like Holmes himself. I think it might lend itself to the echo technique too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Which one is your favourite? I can’t choose.<\/p>\n

Next week will be a Challenge Spotlight<\/strong> tutorial, and your turn to shine.<\/p>\n
