Top 87 Fonts A Designer Should Download
Fonts are very useful for a designer. Only if you would take into consideration the typography mania and you have a great argument for the intelligent use of fonts. The web safe fonts seem boring at a certain moment. With sIFR and other web technologies you can insert any font you want in a website and you can give the site a more interesting style. So, let’s say you ain’t a web designer, you are more a graphic designer, you make logos and other interesting things. You gotta have a serious collection of logos, unless you are a pretty exquisite designer and you’re making a custom font for every project you are working on. Thus being said, check the fonts, download them cause most of them are free, look for a readme from the author to see where you can use them and maybe buy some of these on the list which are premium fonts.

Just wanted to say I like the design of your site. The well designed header made me want to scroll down this monstrous page just to see what the footer looked like. The colors could imo use some work, but it’s very well done either way :).

I love Contempory-Modern-Font

I’ve been using Boris Black Bloxx for years on my portfolio site’s logo.

All good one..but where can i download them in one click..?
I mean i want to download a zip folder of above fonts..
July 8th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
That is not possible. Each author must be respected for its work therefore the fonts will be downloaded from their page or from the place were they submitted it..

Wow. Awesome and super useful. Been looking for lists like these for a while now.
Thanks guys!

Hello!
I am mesmerized…really, some of these fonts I saw for the first time, some I have seen and a very few are those which I actually use, now Just looking at these typefaces inspires me to do the design, A hearty thanks for the treasure.
