Liberation Fonts

A new set of fonts has been released from an unlikely source — Red Hat, a linux distribution. They have released a set of mono, serif and sans-serif fonts that are intended to replace Courier, Times New Roman and Arial. They call this set Liberation and it can be downloaded for free from their website.

The font set was created by Ascender Corporation, who does a lot of font development for Microsoft. This makes the download from Red Hat even more interesting.

If the liberation goes well… maybe we will have a new default font option.

About

The purpose of this blog is to share the million little tips and tricks that I have discovered over the past 15 years as a graphic designer; this site will also be my digital playground were I learn as I share. The term beta seems to be popular these days and may be a good description for what this site is; however, I think it is more fitting to call this site intentionally-unrefined.

I can’t say that I know fully what content will present itself here. It will be an hourly discovery based on the day-to-day experiences that I go through as a graphic design, photographer, web developer, small business owner, productivity junkie and a student.
