free fonts | July 9, 2007

Before I became an in-house designer, my projects varied greatly in subject and style. I needed to have a huge font library that consisted of everything that I might needed on short notice, so I spent a lot of time looking for fonts. I also have never liked spending a lot of money, so free fonts were the way to go! I’m providing a list of free font sites that I enjoy using so that you can find them in one spot. Some of the sites will also have Mac fonts. Please note that some of the sites require you to purchase a license if you are going to be using the fonts commercially.

If you don’t already, I suggest you obtain a font manager software, this will make using your new fonts much easier because you can organize and view all of them very quickly to find your perfect match without having to go through Illustrator or Photoshop’s font list one by one. If you are on a Mac you are lucky because you will already have the program Font Book, that will do just that.

Free font sites, in no particular order:

    You are very welcome, I’m glad this is proving to be helpful. I’m going to be creating a couple more useful link lists of design/illustration tools, like this one, soon.
