    Awesome list! Thanks for featuring my Ripe font!

  2. December 7, 2009

    Nice fonts. League Gothic is still one of my favorite free fonts!

    This is an awesome collection of pro fonts. Thanks!

    fantastic fonts, thank you! I would recomend these two http://aedys.deviantart.com/art/ultravioleta-82779806 and http://mauroh.deviantart.com/art/Exus-Pilot-110755293

  5. December 7, 2009

    Great list of fonts, Thanks!

  6. December 7, 2009

    Fantastic list! I can’t wait to work with some of these.

  7. December 7, 2009

    This is a great list… thanks for the good roundup!

  8. December 7, 2009

    Nice to see more serifed typefaces getting released.

    Quicksand is free for non-commercial use only, meaning that it is NOT free for _professional_ design. You guys should really pay close attention to the licensing terms, I’m sure Quicksand is not alone of its kind on this list.

  10. December 7, 2009

    Awesome font collection here Steven, just what I needed to get me out of this font rut.

  11. MattS
    December 8, 2009

    Sansation is my favorite free font in this list. I always start out with that one in a design to see if it works out or not. And it usually does.

  12. December 8, 2009

    Awesome font list, Thanks!

  13. December 8, 2009

    This list is great until you try to download a font.

    Broken links and links to paid font sites abound.

  14. December 8, 2009

    Awesome set! Found some new and interesting fonts. Great contribution to anyone’s fonts collection.

  15. December 8, 2009

    Great list, thanks. I’ll be using League Gothic for sure.

  16. December 8, 2009

    Brilliant list, some beauties…. tho ITC Chino doesn’t seem to be free, the link goes through to a shopping cart with the font in the basket?

  17. December 8, 2009

    Chino font is not FREE!

  18. December 8, 2009

    Nice set! Thanks!

  19. December 8, 2009

    Just a lot of thanks!!!!
    Awesome collection!!!!

    I love San Serif fonts!

  20. December 8, 2009

    Alex,
    Quicksand has been removed from the list. The license data at Font Squirrel is not real clear. But you’re right, I searched and found another site that said it was for personal use.

    Boothy,
    If you can be more specific about broken links I can get that fixed. The page has no broken links at this time. Yes, some of the links point to paid font sites, but those sites do give away some fonts (at least in some weights) for free.

    Nik and Podveg,
    That link was wrong, but it’s fixed now. ITC Chino Black Italic is free, the other weights are not free. If you click on the link now you will see that you can download black italic for free.

  21. December 8, 2009

    Steven-

    Quicksand is indeed free for commercial use. I just updated the license on our site. The author states in the typophile forum here: http://www.typophile.com/node/50437#comment-346232 that commercial use is ok.

    And, thanks for all the links! Enjoy the fonts….

    Ethan

  22. December 8, 2009

    thanks a lot 🙂

    Chino link is still bad…

    Teaches you to post a freebie 🙂

  24. December 8, 2009

    John,
    Sorry about that. Seems to be an issue with a re-direct. I changed the link again, you can try this URL – http://www.linotype.com/cart/641203/itcchinoblackitalic.html?noRedirect=1

    December 8, 2009

    Excellent resources to reference! Thank you for researching these and posting them.
    Another fantastic typography site / forum to find exclusive / new and foundry fonts is http://www.pilo.me
    It is the best typography forum for graphic designers / typographers on the internet. I believe it is an invite only site, similar to ffffound and behance, but a little more homegrown, personal and underground, but the content they have available is amazing. Simply Amazing.
    Thank you again, I will definitely be bookmarking this!

  26. December 8, 2009

    Awesome fonts. Thanks for work

  27. December 8, 2009

    Some really good and useful fonts there. I will experiment with them in my next designs.

  28. December 8, 2009

    Awesome list. Thanks!

  29. December 8, 2009

  34. December 9, 2009

  35. December 9, 2009

    Great list! This will be first on my font resource list from now on.

  36. Spud
    December 10, 2009

    Would be alot easier if you just packed in all in 1 file so we don’t have to manually downloading 50 files…

  37. December 10, 2009

    Spud,
    Yes, it would be easier, but it would also violate the licenses of each font because I would be re-distributing them.

  38. Mario
    December 12, 2009

    Awesome list!! What a great resource,

    Thanks,

    If you are looking for free fonts, check http://www.fonts2u.com. Discovered it just few days ago. Their
    character map search is awesome! Saved some time when looking for specific character maps supported.

  46. December 28, 2009

    Thank you *burp*. You can never have enough well designer and usable serif fonts, with a bunch of sans-serifs thrown in there too. There are way too many junk fonts out there that are utterly useless for anything except a kids party poster.
    Thanks for making me look good!
