For all my new followers, I wanted to explain why exactly I share free fonts.
Typography is one of the most important skills as a designer, but finding good free type is hard. There’s a lot of garbage around.
My mission is to handpick the highest quality for you.

We all love Inter, but sometimes we want to use something different. Something fresh to change it up.
Pick these.
Then use Inter again.

Gives just that extra bit of character. Try it yourself.

I’m a Dutch Designer. That means I like saving money and I love typography. But let’s face it: Good free type is hard to find. No special characters, sketchy spacing... etc.
Every Monday, I will be sharing one free font that absolutely slaps.

Just sent my most 'productive' invoice to a client. Worked for 20 hours, invoiced 1600€. Might not sound much compared to what I see on this platform, but a good step for me.
My goal for next year is to get one project with this ratio at least once every month.

2000+. How did we get here?! Beyond grateful.
Only started taking building an audience seriously in August last year. Personal brand building pays off big time.
Oh, and that guide on how to build your audience that I promised at 1000 followers? It’s still coming. Stay tuned.

One cool thing I noticed about Korean type is that, rather than giving letters character by altering the structure of the letter (calligraphy), they are given character through treatments.
With textures, shine or 3D, and elements surrounding the type.

When I started design, I found Brand New and instantly fell in love. I learned so much through the reviews and comments.
It shaped me as a designer.
To be featured among agencies I look up to is extremely honoring.

The identity for One80 is based on the concept of light.
Each letter in the logo is carefully constructed by a light source coming from one angle and turning 180º.

My last post exploded and I gained around 200 followers overnight, now crossing 1000+ followers.
I want to write a step-by-step guide on how I built an audience from scratch, so you can learn from my successes and mistakes.
If I can do it, you can do the same.
Interested?

Is this not to force people who are free users to start paying, as you can only have a few team projects?

OTF, TTF, WOFF... Don’t know what font format to choose?
If possible, install OTF.
OTF supports more advanced typographical features, such as ligatures, alternate characters, and fractions.

For One80, we designed a simple but identifiable layout system for outdoor posters.
Because we knew any volunteer at One80 could be making these, we designed the system to be fool-proof.
Letting the logo shine on every poster, the viewer always recognizes One80.

Taste is one of the most underrated assets of a designer.
This goes beyond looking at shiny
@Pinterest
boards and redundant
@dribbble
shots.
Taste is a weird mix of preferences you acquire as you experience things around you.
So then the question is:
How do you develop taste?

It’s hard to admit, but one day AI will do most of the design work for us.
Working on your foundations is more important than ever: Branding, Strategy, Typography, Colors. Your input becomes the most valuable thing.

I'm convinced any designer can learn by themselves.
I never had a design education, and learned mostly through reading books, the internet, and practicing daily.
Typography 01 by
