Some of the fonts below can be downloaded direct from Sketchbook B. Others are available through Fontstruct, an online type design tool.
When I release fonts for download here on Sketchbook B, they are ready to download and use. Typefaces are provided in OpenType format and can be used on either Macs or PCs.
Fonstruct is an online application for designing modular fonts. To download a “Fontstruction,” you need to register for an account with Fontstruct. Fonts are provided in TrueType format and work on Macs and PCs. (One word of caution: The only problem with Fontstruct is that sometimes, you need to use massive font sizes and the line spacing is off.)
Cerealbox is actually two fonts: an outline and a fill. They can be used separately or paired together. You can also easily offset them to create a nice out-of-register effect. Download Cerealbox and Cerealbox Fill from Fontstruct.

If you aren’t sure how to install a new typeface on your system, refer to your computer’s help documentation.
