This font can be described as a mix of cookies and milk and Skybird. It also features numbers, symbols and language Support. We like it for its childish freshness and the condensed nature gets a lot of characters in a little space without sacrificing readability!

Clean Design Free Resume Template
I’ve collected templates since the late 1960s. I’ve even created hundreds of templates myself — in fact, this web page was created from a template I created. There’s nothing better than a good template.

And ye has its own complicated story—based in the history of the alphabet. Hannah Poindexter, OMGFacts

The Colour is one of the most important tools at your disposal. But how do you go about creating the perfect colour scheme for your design. According to Tom May ( freelance writer and editor specialising in design and technology ), here is some interesting apps.
Color Hunter — enter a search term in the box at the top of the page; Color Hunter then searches Flickr.com for matching images and uses them to create a colour palette. Color Hunter
