Free Fonts
Be forewarned that all fonts are not created equal. Generally, what you download from these sites are OK, but you never know what the quality is. They may have been produced by a competent designer, but then again, maybe not. If you print your piece out or send a PDF to a printer, be sure to check the file carefully to make sure the font didn't go sour on you. Also, if you find yourself working at an agency, don't download or use any of these without permission from the art director.
