Free fonty goodness

I used to design web pages at one time. No, it's a crappy way to make money.

Anyway. One thing that I used to get all worked up about was font usage. A spell working in a sign shop in the late 90s cemented that for me: we used to get obsessive about leading, kerning and character shape. You'd be surprised at some of the work that goes into something hanging on a wall that you just glance at, and how easy it is to make it look wrong. We'd sweat for an hour over the shape of an 's' if we didn't have the exact match off-the-shelf. We'd argue over close matches. It's serious business. Fonts: you need plenty.

And that maxim isn't just for designers, but civilians too. Comic Sans does not make your sign/flyer/website look informal. It makes it look crap. No, really; it does.

So: here's 300 Free Truetype Fonts You Should Have. And there's some nice ones there. Trust me.

300. Free. Fonts. What are you waiting for? GO!
