Great collection of professional fonts! Will be downloading as many as possible. :) Thanks.

As sad as it may seem… font styles do get me excited. I love looking and finding different fonts. Thanks for this. Keep up the good work :)

 


24 Aug, 2010

Don’t let the haters get you down Mohit! Fantastic list with excellent choices I must say. If a few of them aren’t free, so be it. Everyone is entitled to make mistakes now and again even CSS experts! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your outstanding website, which I have been very helpful with this issue. Greetings from Latin America.

 


11 Jul, 2010

Great list
i like specially Louisiana
it’s very stylish

 


04 Jun, 2010

Excellent article, explained very clearly. Congratulations on the quality of your website. Greetings from Chile.

 


05 May, 2010

Er… since when did $121 for a font = free?

Suomi shouldn’t be on this list… or you should remove ‘free’ from your post header. Still, I guess it gets you better search results, right? Very cheeky…

 


16 May, 2010

Removed from the list, thanks for the info..

 


02 May, 2010

NIce collection CJ.. All fonts are decent and very useful :) Nice post

 


16 May, 2010

Thanks

 


18 Apr, 2010

These are great. I love the Suomi Hand Script OT. I just wonder whether or not they are really “free” to use or whether you would get in trouble somehow..

 


07 Apr, 2010

Wow! Very impressive, thanks. Fonts are play a very important part in the design of a web site but their importance is often overlooked. Which font do you believe has the biggest positive impact for a website? And what about font size? I hate it when font sizes are too small. What is the best size to select? thanks.

Thanks for sharing do you have feed here? I’d like to add them to my reader

Very good Fonts and information, thank you very much by the article and the quality of your Web site. A greeting from Chile.

 


15 Mar, 2010

I’m not sure all of these fonts are free to use. For example, Helvetica and Rockwell seem to be for pay. Could you confirm this?

 


15 Mar, 2010

Hi Sam,
I agree there are paid versions available for many of these fonts, however, if you’re looking for their free versions, I found them here for
Helvetica – http://www.fontyukle.com/en/
Rockwell Extra Bold – http://www.fontyukle.com/en/Rockwell+Extra+Bold.ttf

I’m sure you can find free versions for almost everything. :-)

 


15 Mar, 2010

My question is more as to whether it’s legal or not.

 


15 Mar, 2010

Well, its for the website’s T&C to dictate the usage terms and license info. If it doesn’t have one, it may not be.

 


07 Mar, 2010

We have used Kenyan Coffee and Bebas in a few test logos recently. Highly recommended and easy to employ…

 


08 Mar, 2010

Yes its a nice choice. I like these as well
