A quick list of April fools I stumbled upon this year. Let’s start with Humble bundle:

A new TYPE of bundle. Move aside, games and books — there’s a hot new bundle in town: FONTS. Glorious, glorious fonts. There’s no better way to express yourself than with a handcrafted, artisan font, so we’ve assembled these small-batch fonts, crafted at the source of our design team’s desks, for your fonting pleasure.


Google went even further and created a whole Website!
