anderskorte -> More FREE fonts (8/18/2006 16:35:43)
|
Everyone loves free fonts. Here's a few good choices — for fun and profit.
Criteria:
- They are high-quality (not the typical exhausting freeware junk, we are professionals).
- They provide a good character set.
- You can use them also in commercial work.
- They are 100% free.
Gentium by SIL International. (I use this one in my CV and printed documents)
Lido by Storm Type Foundry. EDIT: easier download here
Fontin by Jos Buivenga.
Yanone Kaffeesatz by Jan Gerner.
Day Roman by Fredrik Nader (Apostrophic Labs).
Fonce Sans by Ryan Ford.
Bodoni FLF [direct link to ZIP file] from Casady & Greene.
ATF Antique and Goudy Sans from “The FontSite”.
Puritan and Bentham by Ben Weiner (Reading Type).
Baskerville Old Face from Elsner+Flake (free via FontShop, scroll down to see).
MgOpen fonts — based on Times, Optima and Helvetica.
Fonts by Peter Saville (especially “New Order 1981”, “New Order Substance” and “Joy Division Closer”).
Fell Types by Igono Martini. For historical mood.
Tip: Use these fonts in text-as-images on your professional website layouts or headings in your Flash files. Or, purchase commercial typefaces from FontShop, MyFonts or some other similar site.
With free fonts you always have to be on your toes because there's a lot of junk that can ruin your design.
Feel free to experiment, though.
