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

by Dolores Parker Aug 25th 2008

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.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
