Bleeding Cowboys Font

Today’s font is called:

The Bleeding Cowboys font was first seen on the DaFont website in 2007, but it has since been updated. It was created by Gyom Séguin, a graphic designer, illustrator and artist from Canada. Gyom claims, “I am a graphic designer that listens to rock music and designs rocking fonts!” Gyom also has over 40 fonts available.

While researching this font, I found out some interesting things regarding Gyom. I went over to is website which is as plain and simple as his payment philosophy. His hope is that you like his work. So, if you DO like it and you think that it is worth anything to you, simply send him a donation via PayPal. You can find that link on the download page that the above links will take you too. Now, how cool would that be to have Gyom wake up tomoorow and find a few extra dollars in his bank account because of this post?

In addition to typography (fonts) Gyom also creates logos and apparel design. Let him know how you learned about him and thank him for his contributions!

Remember that although we take you to places that offer free font downloads, there are still copyright laws that cover them. Please make yourself aware of HOW you can use the free download by reading and becoming familiar with the extra files that are always available with a free download.

A Charming Font

Today’s featured font is:

As I was searching for a new font this week, I came across “A Charming Font”. As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of the television series that I used to watch called Charmed. It is an ongoing saga about three sisters who happen to have special powers. Throughout the series the sisters learn how to use their powers to help others as well as each other. Growing up the oldest in a family of three girls, it was inevitable that Charmed would end up being one of our favorite television shows.

“A Charming Font” is offered by 1001 Free Fonts. 1001 Free Fonts has created thousands of free fonts available for both Windows and Mac. You may visit 1001 Free Fonts to preview and download “A Charming Font” custom font. But, if you are anything like me (I love to have my own collections), you will want to go ahead and purchase the Ultimate Font Download. It contains over 10,000 fonts, including “A Charming Font” and the 1001 fonts from – 1001 Free Fonts, plus many, many more.
