Five Fresh Free Fonts

It’s been a while since I posted one of these, but believe me when I say that the gorgeous free fonts to be had online just keep coming. It makes me wonder if one can ever have too many fonts. Check out these beauties- all downloadable right now, and all free:

cursif

First up is Cursif, which I’ve described as pretty- because it is. It’s a darling of a font, all curves and swirls. Great for girly or homemaking-related designs.

rough-draft

Rough Draft is a free font that I’ve only just discovered, and now I can’t imagine not having in my font arsenal. Its all caps, and certainly makes a statement.

lilly

Lilly is another delightful free font. It does make me smile, and would be lovely in designs for children- much much better than Comic Sans. Then again, almost anything is better than Comic Sans.

the-quiet-scream

I don’t go much for handwritten fonts, but The Quiet Scream is among my favorites. It reminds me of the graffiti we used to put on our binders in high school. Trapper Keeper, anyone?

goudy-bookletter-1911

And finally, I’ve kept the best for last. Goudy Bookletter 1911 has joined the ranks of my all-time favorite fonts. A variation on the classic Kennerly Old Style, this is a font that looks just as home as a website header as it would on a classic book cover.

    Thanks some brilliant fonts to download, these will be good to create logos, like rough draft could be used for a design company, or even a landscaping business.

    Nice Fonts i really like the lilly one and the quiet scream will make an excellant blog logo im impressed by these fonts as these are tidy a lot of free fonts are scapy and they do not look all that good.
