Fortunaschwein

he name is the pseudo-German creation by Kevin A. Murphy who is responsible for the birth of this font. Several years ago, Kevin asked me if I could design a font similar to the sentiment written on a New Year’s greeting card from 1906. The card showed the goddess Fortuna riding on a pig (common symbol of luck)…

She’s using Fortunaschwein on her website & on the CD cover. And on her current concert poster (which you see to the left) as well. Amy surprised me by sending me her wonderful CD. Yay!

Digital Freebie: Musical Snowflakes

As a teacher for descant and treble recorder, I’ve taught my students numerous Christmas carols. It’s cute to listen to their first “real songs” when they are beginners, and their families can’t wait to hear them play on Christmas Eve. I had the idea to make some snowflakes merely from musical symbols, and I really like the results. So here you’ll get some glittery snowflakes as freebies, they come with and without shadows.

Here’s a sample layout with the snowflakes scaled to various sizes (click to enlarge). The text reads: “As peaceful and nice the carols may be, as a recorder teacher I’m about to get a Jingle Bell ringing in my ears”. Credits:
