Grunge fonts - free collection to take your design down and dirty



Outlawdesignblog did a great job compiling an interesting collection of free downloadable grunge fonts to help you get that nice, dirty, raw edge you might be craving on your graphics. Of course, whether or not grunge fonts convey edgy anymore is debatable since they are all over this year's back to school fashions which school kids are wearing with the appropriate bad ass attitude.

I don't know about you but when grunge becomes the fashion statement for school kids, it might not be the edge you're looking for in your design project. In any event, whether or not grunge has become a cliche - you're still in charge of what you create and now you'll have more grunge fonts to help inspire your work or, perhaps not.

Check out some of my favorites from the collection after the jump.



1. Inked God by Last Soundtrack - has that Ed Harvey tatoo feel. Free for personal use, Mac and PC.


2. Smudgers by Jelloween - good for that nasty smear campaign look. Free for personal use.




3. Elli Noise by Aguiluz - adds a little trainspotting psychosis to your work. Free for personal use.



4. PlagueDeath by KeepWaiting - bad boy mega death rock and roll and all that stuff. Free for personal use.



5. Chicago House by The Original 19 - this is not your sicko grunge look. This is definitely more refined. Free for personal use.



So those were my top 5 out of 30. What's your favorite and let us know if you think grunge is dead.

Level Up! A platform-hopping RPG Time-Waster

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before. Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
