Is that where the name came from? - Flipino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Works well for ransom notes, too.
- senmu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Thanks for submitting this. It's much better than browsing sites like 1001fonts because now there's only a few to look at, and they're good quality/style too.
- Soave, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19I uploaded all* the fonts on there to one file, since it was kinda annoying downloading each one separately:

* = I forgot to include "Shortcut," so you'll have to get that one separately if you want it. - ub3rgeek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13http://dafont.com
love that site - koonchu, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17***** you, leave my overruse runis alone!
- cody50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10yeah, cutting out all the individual letters from newspapers takes too long.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@Soave; I agree with you about anti-mainstream music snobbery. But regardless of how good or interesting a style of graphic design is, if it's overused it'll lose its freshness and seem cliched, boring and trend-following. That last one is unfortunate, because it *is* condemning something because it's become associated with fashion sheep... but that's the way it is.
For my money, the spray-stencil look is starting to suffer from this. It's unfortunate, because I thought it looked great for a while. I still like it, but it's getting overused; I want something fresh.
The design of the site linked to is great, but the fonts themselves are a bit post-grunge cliched... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Very nice fonts. There are a few there that I didn't already have. *thumbs up*
BTW: These are "grunge" fonts...not "broken typewriter" fonts. - Soave, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12So like are you one of those people that doesn't like mainstream music simply because it's mainstream? Because that's what you sound like.
Who cares if other people use these fonts? - tomi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Lemme guess, you think MySpace has the best layout ever?
- Kumaku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They work good for band flyers. Dugg
- pshultz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4These are all truly, truly cutting edge fonts (13 years ago.) All very CalArts circa 1993, including the website design.
- senmu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I remember watching an episode of the Broken on Winamp's Internet TV. Kevin Rose looked like a hobo drinking liquor that was in a paper bag.
- adamsorkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks like Turkish? Hmm, wonder if they've got döner on the moon...
- dimitre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Eduardo Recife rocks. very talented designer
- Trams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Very nice fonts.
- hanapbuhay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@soave - Thanks for sharing, but "The download limit has been reached for this file."
I suggest checking out box.net
http://paulstamatiou.com/2006/03/01/boxnet-next-gen-storage-for-the-masses/ - messs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So, umm, can someone post another link somewhere?
- grandpajesus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2this guy is a dope designer and his fonts are good, been a fan for a while now
- zspade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow, this is really gonna help in a project I'm currently working on. Thanks! I don't care if they've been dugg before, I've never seen em.
- Sleepingbag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2what the ***** kind of moon language do you speak
- blankman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone know the legal rules to fonts? Can you use any font in any form of created media legally? Like say I was making an advertisement in Photoshop, is it legal to use any font?
- weird0science, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Digg effect.
- dogfukka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0loving 'em in a kinda real retro way - crank up Nirvana
- Tariki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome fonts. Bonus points as it was made by a Brazillian! Mandou muito bem!!

- Soave, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Thanks hanapbuhay.

http://www.box.net/public/szstcq4nzv - iStunT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+01001freefonts.com is great too, but thanks for this, i always wanted a "heavy metal" style font :)
- nunquam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"3.0"

- AcidPuke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Good for sigs and such. Nice find.
Are there any other specificly themed fonts anyone would like to share? - circuitburner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0broken typewriter fonts rool!
- dickenshit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1This site is confusing and gives me a headache. At least on myspace I know where to find things.
- disgruntled, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5What the hell is a typewriter?
//sorry, it had to be said - neamerjell, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1NSFW!!!!!!!
- XorSystem, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3What an odd webpage layout
- tentwentyfour, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4Yes, because stuff is only cool if you're the only one who likes it. You're trying way too hard to be different, and in turn, you aren't.
- cpbrown, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3You havn't heard that overruse runis pretty much anything?
Things are only "good" because they are "better". Once they become standard, then in relative values they are not as good.
Stands to logic. - cpbrown, on 10/12/2007, -18/+5These are the best .. my favs for some yrs now .. but now they've been dugg everybody'll have them and wont look original anymore
