A Few of My Favourite Fonts


All designers have favorite fonts.Somehttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif of mine happen to be free, too. :-)

Take a look at one of my favorite font foundries who supply some of their nicest fonts for free. . The site is, unfortunately in Italian - but don't let that put you off - you know a sexy font when you see one and they say that the language of love is universal!

This is one of my very favorites in the collection. It's casual, modern, clean but not too formal.

At the moment, they only have Romanian and Czech members, so I bet they would love to meet someone from Vietnam who would be interested in developing a wider rage of diacritics
