The Sursly Font – Blackout – Now Downloadable
Blackout: I love it, but I’m setting it free…

As much as I fear seeing this font pop up in unexpected places, I’m equally excited about that same concept. For the time-being, this font (and corresponding files) will remain on sursly.com (and only there). As I develop Blackout further I will update this post and link to the latest version (wherever it may be), but for the time being: get it while it’s hottt

Since you can use this for personal and/or commercial purposes I’d love to see what you do with it. Either post a comment below or send me an email. Don’t send attachments, just link-up to the work.

A little outer glow never hurt nobody
I’m also including the PSD file that was used to make these example files (which was made in CS2). I make no guarantees that this won’t blow up your computer, but it hasn’t happened to me. So I have to say: use at your own risk.

your work is amazing…
Thank you! Love the font – will be put to good use…
Really nice, i like how you can use it for commercial projects too, thats the iceing on the cake!

Great font! Thanks for the free download.
inspiral font, thank you for sharing : )
I wonder how can you create the paper texture in psd file?
Paper texture: I fold/crumple/whatever paper, scan it in and make a brush out of it in Photoshop. Pretty simple (and there are many out there): http://tinyurl.com/nx6z6l

Sorry about the Windows trouble. Until my Windows machine is up and running again I won’t really be able to help you out. Soon though, sit tight.
Thanks for all your great comments and support!
Wow, thanks! Your stuff is really great.
THUMBS UP!

I am a Fan of BLACKOUT.
High Five!
and a thank you.
Thakns mate, this is brilliant!!!!!!!!
Shame the midnight font is actually the 2AM font when you unzip the file. Really outstanding work.
thanks for sharing this beautiful piece =)
Thank you for this fantastic typo!
S :)
Thanks! the font is wonderful!
For some reason, only the midnight font will show up.
When I install the 2am font it won’t show up in neither the Fonts folder nor any of the programs I use, but if I try to install it again it will tell me that the font is already installed and ask me to overwrite. It’s like this on both my laptop and desktop computer.
Love, love, love the font! Thanks.
Any advise on them Windows problems yet? Would be great if they could be fixed….
I have the same problem, can’t use the midnight version :(
only 2am !!
how can I work it out ?
Great design. I like designing with just texts and make them stand up. Not everyone can do it.
this font is all kinds of aweome BUT… i would also love a fix to the windows/2AM problem. currently i can’t use midnight and it’s driving me nuts! thanks for your great work though :D
I think its with the naming of the font. when i try to install them one by one it overwrites the first one.
It doesn’t work :(

An amazing font, thank you very much for sharing :)
Thank you so much! This is awesome!
I’ll use this font as my banner font on my blog! Thank you so much :>
Hey man, I stumbled across your work when my wife was plunking around the innerwebs, trying to find me some work in Ithaca so we can move there. Bet you’ve never had an intro line like that before! Anyway, my in-laws recently moved out there, we recently had our first child (coolest thing I’ve ever done, by far!), and they miss him. She found an ad for a designer at Singlebrook, which led me to you. We seem to have a lot in common, and I dig your work. Unfortunately, I’m a photographer rather than a web designer, so I’ll have to keep looking for work in Ithaca, but if we do get out there, I’d love to meet up and have a brew, coffee, chai tea, lemonade…anything tasty and refreshing, really.
Cheers,
Ryan
PS-Loving Blackout! Very nice work!!
Same trouble with windows here. I can only use the 2 AM version of Blackout. Anxious for a fix!
