Two nerdy things

If you're designing a website or invoice or business card, how awesome are these hand-drawn icons? You can buy the set of 300+ icons for $30. I love that they include glasses, skateboards and toast.
And I haven't posted about typography in a while, but how genius is this llama font? So random and hilarious. He's so flexible! :)

Cracking up at the llama font! My family owns alpacas, so I promptly sent the link over to them.

Haha! That's so cute. I didn't even realize the letters were llamas until you mentioned something about him being flexible, then I had to do a double take. I was like, "Flexible?...what?"

When creating certain web pages online or a blog page, I usually choose the playful templates and fonts. It's fun to see things that don't look so perfect. The llama font is just so cute!
