This week has been crazy! First, I have been working on a couple of huge announcements for projects I manage at Creative Commons for CC’s 5th Birthday Party tomorrow (SAT) in SF (its free and freer). And, Lu and I have rented out our new place we got in SF and are going to spend the next few months in China getting that part of our lives settled.
And, on the side, Alex sent me over this cool little piece posted on the web by mihmo saying Jason Kottke had licensed his ever-so-popular Silkscreen font under the Open Font License and even better, he uploaded it to the Open Font Library. Cool!
Here is Kottke’s description of the Silkscreen font:
Silkscreen is best used in places where extremely small graphical display type is needed (duh!). The primary use is for navigational items (nav bars, menus, etc.). However, you can also use it for image captions and the like…wherever small type is needed. Silkscreen also works very well at large point sizes if you’re looking for that chunky, old school computer look so popular with the kids today.
In order to preserve the proper spacing and letterforms, Silkscreen should be used at 8pt. multiples (8pt., 16pt., 24pt., etc.) with anti-aliasing turned off. For larger text (larger than 64pt.), you can use whatever size you want without too much of a problem.
Check it out and use the site! It is the Open Clip Art Library’s sister site…please use it! And, don’t forget to upload your fonts and/or help make better free and open fonts from the ones already posted.
