Fab Font Friday ~ Frankie Magazine
Friday, 14 September 2012 | Kitten Lane | Design, Tutorials, Typography
I love the style of the Frankie Magazine website, with its organic, handwritten title complimenting the typewriter body text that gives the site a retro feel.
So today I’ve created a quick 5 min Photoshop tutorial on how to recreate this look! The cursive title looks like it has been hand drawn, but we can use a font that is very similar instead to mock it up in no time at all. I’ve chosen a font called Business Penmanship, but Learning Curve Pro and Sunshine in my Soul are suitable free alternatives.
That’s all we need to do for the title, although if you want more of an organic, hand drawn feel you could print out your title and trace it with a black pen then scan it back into your computer.
So now we can add some body text by using a monospaced, typewriter-style font like Courier New (I’ve just set this to 12px).
The end result:
Font: Business Penmanship
Combine with: Courier New
Great for: Handmade / Vintage Designs
