Hexy Clover - a font design by WONG Kai Zen

If you need a font that is good for display text on signage or T-Shirt design, Hexy Clover could be the one. The font is creatively designed by WONG Kai Zen. Each glyph has modular structures and by the name given for this font, you can also view the abstraction of clovers in hexagonal orders. Somehow when we tested this font, we suggest you to adjust the anti-aliasing setting of your graphic editor software into “smooth”, therefore you will have consistent type either at small sizes or low resolution.

Download HexyClover for free in True Type (.ttf) format and if you decide to use this font, there are some rules to follow so make sure you read the design license carefuly.

Anonymous Pro - a free font for coders

Anonymous Pro is a family of four fixed-width fonts designed especially with coding in mind. Characters that could be mistaken for one another (O, 0, I, l, 1, etc.) have distinct shapes to make them easier to tell apart in the context of source code.
Anonymous Pro also features an international, Unicode-based character set, with support for most Western and European Latin-based languages, Greek, and Cyrillic. It also includes special “box drawing” characters if you need them.
While Anonymous Pro looks great on Macs and Windows PCs with antialiasing enabled, it also includes embedded bitmaps for specific pixel sizes (“ppems” in font nerd speak) for both the regular and bold weight.

It is available in one universal TrueType format that will work on both Macs and Windows PCs.
Anonymous Pro is distributed as copyrighted freeware fonts. You are free to use and distribute them in any way as long you keep them together and include the “Read Me” document that is included with the fonts.
