Font of the day: Boomtown Deco

Here at Creative Bloq, we're big fans of typography and we're constantly on the hunt for new and exciting typefaces – especially free fonts. So, if you're in need of a font for your latest design or just like to keep a collection so you're prepared, we may be able to help out.

Today's font of choice, Boomtown Deco, was created by graphics designer Chris Skillern. "I hail from Tulsa, Oklahoma, a city that flourished in the early 20th century due to the discovery of oil," he comments on Dribbble. "Because of the period it was born into, Tulsa's downtown is filled with beautiful art deco architecture. This font is a tribute to my city, inspired by the tall, condensed lettering of art deco-style posters."
