[Deals] Design Cuts has a great deal going on
« on: October 03, 2018, 07:12:24 AM »
Wasn't sure where to put this, but Design Cuts is celebrating thier 5th birthday. If you do your own graphics, this is a great resource. https://www.designcuts.com/design-cuts-5th-birthday-event/fonts/


Plus, with their fonts, it includes an epub license (or at least it did last time I checked). URW has some of the classics (they are like the off-brand foundry, their typefaces are just as good, usually, but at a fraction of the cost), and there's some Laura Worthington in the mix too.


(I really need to get an affiliate code for how much I pimp them...)

Yeah, Design Cuts is amazing. Grabbing any Laura Worthington or Set Sail for $5?!? Not to mention Zeuene, Marschel sold me on that foundry and I love Wallington, it's fun for swashes. Plus, URW isn't a bad foundry and a good way to build up a "good" font library. There are probably better version (but a lot more expensive). They're like the off-designer brands found in Target.

Wow!  I use https://creativemarket.com/ and have more than 60 fonts saved in my Faves. Some of them are here for $5!!

Thank you so much!   :kiss:  (In lieu of a more platonic version of that, which seems to be missing.    grint)

Don't forget to look at what else they have! Logo kits, background textures (hello website header, nice to see you for $5), etc. So many goodies!

The OP is the devil.

Do you know how many fonts I have?  Probably not.  I don't even know anymore.  It's like an addiction.  Must.  Have.  More.  Fonts.

Like I said, the OP is the devil, trying to lead us all into temptation.

Must.  Resist.  The urge to buy.  More fonts.

Yep, but I figure if I'm going down, I'm bringing as many others with me as possible.

Adding another link to this thread because it's part of the birthday celebration. It's a freebie and great for drop caps or chapter headings and covers.

Another link to Design Cut's birthday celebration. This time it's a font bundle for $29, and there are some nice typefaces here.

https://www.designcuts.com/product/supreme-quality-font-bundle/

I also want to point out their license. https://www.designcuts.com/licensing/ You can use fonts from Design Cuts in ebooks! This needs repeating. You can use these fonts in ebooks, with the license that accompanies this bundle (and I believe most every other font available though them). Someone told me this and I didn't believe them, well I did, but I couldn't believe it. And then I saw the license. If you still aren't sure, email them, give them the specifics on how you plan to use the font file and your mind will be blown as mine was. This is potentially a game changer for me. I stayed away from embedding fonts because I didn't want to pay the additional license per book. Design Cuts made it affordable to make an ebook look more like a print booK.

Yeah, sorry updated the posts. Every year, Design Cuts has a great birthday celebration for the entire month of October so these are all special deals.

However the bundle is a good deal. The URW Garamond font family sells for $99 and Nuezit for $69. And TT Travels, which is a great wrokhorse of a sans, normally sells for $135. Blacker sells for $174. I admit, I bought this bundle just for Blacker. The other typefaces are more of a bonus for me plus they all come with an ebook license.

Yeah, the bundle looks great, but now I'm salivating over Wallington.

Thanks for posting but I successfully resisted.  Since I do client work too, the restrictions on "large clients" was a no-go for me.  Am I supposed to ask every client for a copy of their company's revenue statement so I know whether or not the usage is covered by the standard license or if a need a special one?
