Walden Font Co - Purveyors of Fine Historic Fonts

Sure, there are cheap imitations to be found, but when you have that client who just has to have the creepiest possible font:

Here we have a gnarled and twisted hand that was used on an actual spell, which which was found tucked under the beams of a 16th century house in southern Germany. The incantation was wrapped around a fossil belemnite (also known as a “thunderbolt”) Evidently this protected the house from getting hit by lightning. There are brown stains on the ancient parchment, which could be blood.

May the gods help me, I am trying as hard as I can to come up with an actual need for this toy: Site Pal

$189/year (plus an extra $10/month for the text-to-voice option) puts it out of range for most webloggers, but it could be a very catchy tool for brochure or business sites. And it's pure Flash, easy to install, light on the bandwidth.

We approve, yes.

Finally, a wristwatch cell phone!

Now, where's my frickin' flying car?

Looks like bitmap fonts are making a style comeback. Here are some handy links:

BitmapMania
Mark Simonson - Old Bitmap Fonts
DSG4's Bitmap Fonts

And, just because I'm a font junkie, more nice links:

Font Diner - lovely retro fonts
Fonthead Design - some really unique fonts here
Font Paradise - large collection sorted by style
Famous Fonts - fonts used in TV shows, movies, publications, and other media and products

Finally, a font identifying tool:

What the Font - upload a sample of the font you're looking for, identify the key parts of the image through the program and voila! It produces suggestions on fonts that will give you the absolute closest look possible.

I love the Internet.
