I really like this section John. I just wish it was easier to find :)
I think it would be great to gather all the free fonts you have mentioned on your website, or anywhere for that matter. I love this “Free Font Wall” idea :)

I was wondering, what typeface have you used for the I love Typography logo?

You’re right, it’s not easy to find this page. However, I have big plans for this page, and will even have fonts downloadable from here.

Every now and then I change the header image, but the one you see above is Le Monde Livre PTF (bold). Thanks for dropping by.

hi,

Actually when I posted, just after in fact, the header changed!

So the typeface I really like was the one you had used previous to this one. Would be great if you would inform me of that particular one….

cheers

Good timing :)
The previous one was set in FF Meta Serif. Shout if you need anything else.

Hey thanks,

it’s really quite nice isn’t it?

By the way - great blog, keep up the good work.

Hello! I’m doing a mural painting based on the tipographer Tobias frere jones and I really need his font named Archer cause it’s the most suitable for the job but I can’t find it for free in any website and I don’t have the money to download it , so I will be really thankful if you could send it to my e-mail. Thank you very much!

I do hope you’re joking! First, it’s an H&FJ typeface.
Even if you could find it for free somewhere, if you were to download it, you’d be breaking the law, and at the same time you’d be mocking its creators.

Archer is an exceptional typeface. If only you could begin to imagine the work that has gone into its creation. On top of that, it’s not particularly expensive. If it is indeed the most suitable for the job, then I suggest you get saving, and buy it.

I’m absolutely flabbergasted that you make such a request here. I would very much like a vintage Porsche 911, but I can’t afford it. Should I, then, go out and steal one?

I have a free font available to download on my blog. Click the link.

VIEW AND DOWNLOAD THIS FONT NOW!

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for these resources!!

What I always feel about free fonts is that they devalue our industry –
if these fonts are free why not all the others – lets just copy.
Also many of the fonts that are given away are not of very high quality – if they were we would not give them away. If I look at ‘Delicious’ the quality of draughtsmanship is very low. It would take a lot of effort to
improve it. Students who cannot always afford good fonts might use
it and not being very discriminating think it’s fantastic, this then this unfortunately becomes their norm.

David, that’s an incredibly arrogant post. Lest you forget the adage, (clearly you have) one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Do you think anything on the Billboard 100 is great music? It’s not Verdi or Berlioz, which has and will last the ages, but people are free to like whatever they wish. It’s subjective. Some people think Maria Callas was mediocre. So what? No need to look down your aristocratic nose at everyone who deigns to find them appealing in some way(s). I’m sure there are many people who find your typefaces lovely and others perhaps grotesque.

Kayla, thanks for confirming what I always half suspected that I can be sometimes extremely arrogant and pompous, but I do believe the culture of free downloads dosen’t help our industry, it devalues it and as I have already said most of the free stuff is not of very high quality and that’s why it’s free. It also confuses a lot of young designers into thinking that everything should be free, ‘Why should we buy when some fonts are free or piratable?’ Pirated fonts are also a big problem,
does dentist after buying his dentists chair go out and steal all his drills, gold filling material, syringes etc. from his collegues?

It’s a big struggle these days for designers to make a living from their work so why give it away free! That not only goes for young designers trying to get a toehold in the industry but established designers too are finding it increasing harder.

‘One mans meat is another mans poison’, but you cannot call Maria Callas mediocre, the general consensus is that she was a wonderful singer, she is not at all to my taste as I would prefer to listen to Snow Patrol or Debussy.

Bro. You just made the same post twice.

Anybody can call anything mediocre. You can’t tell people how they feel about things. People are entitled to their opinions. They make the world go ‘round. Here are some of mine:

I hate meaningless cliches like general consensus.

Snow Patrol is garbage.

I am not saying I like Snow Patrol!
