Free Font of the Week: Dirty and Classic

Mar 25th

Dirty and Classic is a great ying and yang font.

The capital letters have a nice Grunge feel (dirty) and lowercase letters have a great script with a swash (classic). Keep growing that font collection! Download it here.

Free Font of the Week is intended to help publicize great fonts that are available for free. I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many fonts in your arsenal and will continue to share them with those who are interested (hopefully on a weekly basis).

Business card on the phone, what’s that you say?

Contxts.com is awesome. Personally, I love my business card. For the consulting that I do, I have a nice stamped business card on recycled cardboard that really stands out. It’s simple, classy, and different. Times are a changing though.

Many people don’t want piles of business cards. Most scan them or input them into their computer to manage anyway. And now there is Contxts…

In less than 3 minutes, you can have a profile setup and automatically send your business card to anyone that requests it via text message. It’s simple, effective, and genius.

From there, you could choose to input the information to your phone as a contact, or just leave it in your Inbox and search for the information later in a convenient fashion.

Try it out.

Text daniel to 50500 for a sample business card, message me if you’d like mine.

Mashable has another great writeup on contxts.

You’ll feel like royalty.

The King and Queen is an awesome grunge script font that I use all the time. It’s very versatile and is highly readable despite the ornate design. You should add it to your library by downloading here.
