15 Free Fonts That You Will Love

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:48:03 +0000

I decided to write this article on a subject that has always fascinated me and is essential for web and graphic design: Typography.

During all these years working in the design business, I’ve always appreciated all those typo-designers dedicated to creating these wonderful fonts. I’m continually collecting high-quality fonts, and I often find very good quality ones and for free… There are also millions of other fonts that can cost you hundreds of dollars. There is everything out there and for every taste, some of great quality and some not so much. The important thing is not to underestimate the role of typography in design. Although most of the time the clients are the ones that decide which typography is going to be used, it’s always good to show them the new trends and not just what everyone has used for years. Carefully chosen and properly used, typography can make all the difference, so it is crucial understanding their importance to obtain the optimal results.

For this reason, I liked the idea of creating “15 Free Fonts That You Will Love” to serve as a collection of new typefaces available, for free, to all who love typography in full. Of course, there are many more and I invite you to share here other interesting fonts that you like.

Two weeks ago I was contacted by Luc Arnold, founder Spicy Web Designers, asking me to tell his audience a little more about how I got started in web design. Several of the web designers that inspire me have been interviewed on his site as well, so it’s a tremendous honor to be “part of the club”.

I decided to update my site, upload it and write periodically. Been a long time and after thousands of attempts I finally took the time and I had the opportunity to finished one of the things that I had pending.
