20 New High Quality Free Fonts

Posted on 16 November 2009 by admin

gothic2

From Source: Smashing Magazine

Every now and again we take a look around, select “fresh” high-quality free fonts and present them to you in a brief overview. The choice is enormous, so the time you need to find them is usually the time you should be investing in your current projects. We search for them and we find them, so you don’t have to.

In this selection we’re glad to present you Madawaska ExtraLight, Apparatus SIL, League Gothic, Contra and many other high-quality free fonts. Please read the license agreements carefully before using the fonts — the license can change from time to time.

Listropolis' Take:

Anytime Smashing Magazine makes it a list, you just know it's outstanding, and this font list doesn't disappoint. I'm a font junkie, but I have never seen most of the fonts on the list. If you're a designer, or do anything with fonts, you'll want to bookmark this post. Our favorite is Contra (probably more for the name than anything else).

I decided it would make a great post, so below, you'll find what I think are the 20 Best free fonts on the net - at least fonts that work for business presentations. Your mileage may vary.

Posted on 16 April 2008 by admin

From FreeGeekery:

Despite its prominence, Arial and other de-facto fonts just aren’t attractive enough for most designers. Fortunately, there are a number of foundries that create some truly impressive fonts, and are happy to share them with others. We’ve highlighted 101 of them here, but keep in mind that many request that you provide credit or at least ask for permission for commercial use.
