25 Free Fonts that Truly ARE Good

So you have a bundle of fonts that came with your shiny new computer. Oh, it’s more fonts from Microsoft Office and Adobe CS4. But should you use them? Well, why not? They are fonts, are they not?

But sometimes, you need more than just the standard pack that everyone has been using since forever, but you want this without having to shell out money. Well, 16.3 can help. Here’s some fonts that really are good. I have many of these installed on my own computer. That’s how good ;) Enjoy!

Just downloaded FFF Tusj and Dark Ages. Thanks for getting the word out about these great-looking (and most importantly, FREE!) fonts.

Hey, thanks! I found your site through Lifehacker. Everything looks really good. For only being 12 you really have a nice professional site. You will go far.

Cool, loads of good fonts. I would suggest Museo too, three of the font-weights are free, and it’s really cool. Also, nice to see some other young people doing programming/design stuff (I’m 16, and I’ve been doing things like this since I was 11-12 years).
