Deal Extended: 99% Off 22 Professional & Artistic Fonts

A couple of weeks ago I spread the word about a massive 99% discount off a bunch of professional and artistic fonts. That offer was due to expire a couple of days ago, but due to popular demand it has been extended to the end of the week (Friday, May 1st). If you already picked up the deal, I hope you’re enjoying your new toys! I received some great messages from people who were thrilled with their purchase. I’d love to hear which font is your favourite, or see designs where you had the opportunity to put them to use. If you missed the news about the deal, this is a great opportunity to explore the awesome fonts on offer.

This bundle contains 22 professional font families worth 22, discounted by a massive 99% leaving the price at just . Each font comes with multiple weights, extensive language support and loads of contextual alternates, which sets them apart from the bog standard free fonts you can find on the web. You also get extended licensing and free web fonts so you can safely use these fonts in all your design projects. In my original review post I previewed 5 of my favourites, so here’s a look at some of the other top quality fonts from the bundle that I didn’t have space to feature.

Texta Narrow

Texta Narrow is a contemporary sans-serif font that comes in 8 weights from thin to black, along with alt and italic versions. These preview graphics show just how beautiful it looks set alone on a flat coloured background.

Sherlock Pro

Sherlock Pro is packed full of Opentype features which add distinct flourishes and swashes onto characters to create beautiful typography. The examples above show just how many variants of the same word can be produced with these alternates.

Pillowbook

Pillowbook is a delicate font with a lovely rustic feel. The subtle irregular baseline and hand drawn quality to each character will give your work an authentic imperfect hand-lettered look.

Grota Sans

Grota Sans is a massive family made up of 40 fonts. Its bold stance makes it a winner for headlines, but the 10 different weights also makes it worth considering for body copy where you’re looking for a typeface with a little extra style.

Helena

Helena is a beautiful, simplistic handwritten font with additional ornaments and a bonus set of Photoshop Brushes. The brush like appearance of this typeface makes it a perfect font to use with inky or watercolour textures and overlays.

Extended Licensing & Web Fonts Included

Other than the 99% discount, one of the most enticing features of this bundle for me was the extended licensing that is included for every font. This means you can safely use them in your design projects, and even use them in items you intend to sell, such as posters or art prints. Remember, this deal should have expired by now and there’s only a couple of days left for the extended period, so grab it while you can!

How To Deal With Facebook Game Invites (The Right Way)

We need to talk about Facebook games. I believe if you’re on Facebook, you are either on the team that plays games, or the team that does not. The former basically taps into Facebook for favors from friends while the latter runs the "Please do not invite me anymore" recording on loop.

The bad news is, this is going to keep going on for as long as you are still on Facebook. The good news is, you don’t have to sever ties with friends who "just don’t get it that I do not want to be a part of their Villes". The what-you-should-know news is that whether you play Facebook games or not, there are things that you can do to better manage this.

I’m going to split this into two sections where you either (1) don’t play Facebook games or (2) do. Please find your seats. Let’s take a look.

I Don’t Play Facebook Games

So you get a Facebook notification only to find out that it is an invitation by so-and-so to play games. This is starting to frustrate you because it’s the umpteenth time you have asked your friends nicely to stop doing this.

The thing is, for almost all Facebook games, there is the "Invite All" or "Send to All" option readily available. Certain games (but not all) may have collected your friends who are already on the game on a smaller list. In both cases, the urge to be lazy and just send requests to everyone on the list – instead of picking the names one by one – is strong.

Basically Facebook game players see your messages, but Facebook does not make it easy for them to choose who not to spam – and there is nothing you can make them do about it.

But you can stop getting notifications, and stop receiving their updates as well as requests.

To Stop Getting Notifications

1. When you receive a Facebook notification on your desktop, click on the notification icon for a dropdown of all your notifications and locate the game notification.

2. However near the right side of the bar and you will see a circle and a cross appear. The circle gives you the Mark as Read option. The cross allows you to turn off notifications. Click on the cross.

3. Click Turn Off. And you will no longer receive notifications from said game. Do this once for each game.

To Stop Seeing Game Updates

1. On your Facebook feed, look for any game-related posts, like these:

2. To the right of the name of the game, you will find an arrow-down button. Click on it to see a dropdown menu.

3. You will see several options:

(1) I don’t want to see this will help you block that single post.

(2) Unfollow [friend] will ensure you no longer see posts from said person, including non-game-related ones.

(3) Hide all from [game] will block updates from any friend related to that game.

4. Pick any of the option above. I usually go with Option #3. Note that you will have to do this for each and every game, one at a time.

To Block Game/App Invites

This is for those who have too many invites from too many games from too many friends. The fastest way to get rid of all this drama is to block those invites in one go. Here’s how:

1. On your Facebook main page, go to the far right at your top menu bar. Click on the dropdown arrow and click on Settings.

2. On the left sidebar, choose Blocking and you will be taken to the Manage blocking section.

3. To Block app invites from someone, go to that section (third from the top) and type in his or her name. The field autocompletes so you can click on the person’s name or press Enter. You will no longer receive app invites from that person. Don’t worry, your friends probably won’t notice if you do not respond to their invites.

4. While you’re there, you can head down two more sections to the Block apps section and type in the games you want to block unconditionally. The field autocompletes too so you can take a stab at what the game name contains like Candy or Ville or Pirate, and click the app to single it out.

So far so good? Now, share this post with a fellow friend who is frustrated with game gangsters who can’t stop making game requests he or she can’t refuse.

I Play Facebook Games

I come in peace, and a proposition. If you want to play Facebook games, do it on a separate Facebook account. All you need is a second email address, which I think most people already have.

You get two benefits from this: you get to avoid the wrath of your friends, and secondly you get to tap into a world of Facebook game players who share your level of enthusiasm when playing the same games.

They don’t even have to be people you know. People who play Facebook games usually play multiple games, are active in game forums, and add tons of friends for help and favors to advance in the game. You will feel right at home.

There are two drawbacks that I know of. First, you will probably need to start from scratch for most of your games because I do not know if you can unlink your Facebook account from the game and link another Facebook account to it while keeping your most current progress (if you find out, let us know).

Secondly, since Facebook has yet to allow multiple account sign-ins on their Facebook mobile apps, you may need to choose which Facebook account to have on your mobile – I’m just going to leave this dilemma here, and move on.

Wrap Up

Having two Facebook accounts helps you separate your game addiction from what you do outside of it. Sure, there are implications of game addictions but let’s not go into that in this post. Truth is, there are many things you yourself can do rather than just ask people to stop sending game requests and invites – and now that you know, send this to someone who you think may need this.
