The Sursly Font – Blackout – Now Downloadable

Blackout: I love it, but I’m setting it free…

Sursly Blackout Font

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

by downloading this ZIP file and contents you agree to not re-distribute or modify the contents in any way. Please read the .txt file for more information

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.

    I wonder how can you create the paper texture in psd file?

  12. Tyler Says:

    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
