The other day I had a reader ask me where I get all my fonts (I admit, I do have a lot). I've bought a few, but actually most of my favorites are ones I downloaded for free, or came with my computer. If you're anything like me, you love free stuff, so I thought I'd share their names so you too can expand your font collection without spending a dime. Here they are--fifteen fabulous free fonts!
1. Dawning of a New Day // 2. Bebas: With clean, modern fonts like this one or Futura medium, I often increase the tracking (the space between the letters) // 3. Janda Stylish Script // 4. Frontage Outline: The rest of this font is not free, but you can get the outline version by "paying" with a tweet or a facebook post. // 5. Sail // 6. Futura Medium: This came with my computer. If you have it on yours, you should definitely use it--it's my go-to! Simple without being boring, it looks good with just about anything. // 7. Fontleroy Brown // 8. Brannboll // 9. Pea Matt & Kari: There are tons of fun handwriting fonts at this site--you can even submit your own handwriting! I have several of their fonts; this is one of my favorites, probably because it's pretty similar to my handwriting. // 10. Agent C // 11. Prophecy Script // 12. Quicksand: I recently started using this font a lot and I love it! The "Q" on it is especially cute. It's the font I used for this post. // 13. Didot: This also came with my computer, so if yours doesn't have it I'm sorry! It's pretty in regular, bold, or italic. // 14. Impact Label: This is fun novelty font, that looks like old Dymo labels. I haven't used it in any posts, but I think it would be cute for scrapbooking or card-making. // 15. Arsenale White
Do you have any favorite fonts, free or otherwise? Leave their name(s) in the comments so we can all check them out!
P.S. I've written some new font posts since this one--check them out here and here.

Ahh! Love this! I am always looking for good new fonts.
My favorites right now are Sail, Parisish, and Neo-Retro Draw
I just downloaded Parisish and Neo-Retro Draw! Thanks so much for sharing :) Love them both.
Confused & Bummed :( I downloaded a couple of these fonts and it says the trial period has expired and I that I cannot open it or use it. Help me... anyone?
Hi Natalie! Which ones did you try to download? I'll try to figure it out/update the links for you :)
I am so excited that you shared these with us! I am SO in need of some new, fresh fronts. Thanks, Aileen.
You're welcome, Jenn :)
Wow, thank you so much Aileen! I must admit, I guess I was that reader, but I can't express how happy you just made me with this post! :)

Fontleroy Brown is sooo Great Gatsby! I love it. Thank you for sharing these with us!!
Thanks for sharing these! I especially love the Bebas and Quicksand. I'll totally be using those two in a post next week. I love when bloggers share their favorite font selections!
You're welcome! Quicksand is my current fave--I've been using it all the time!
I LOVE fonts! You can never have too many!
Did you have any trouble downloading the frontage font? I shared on my facebook page but I didn't see a download link. Thanks!
No, I don't think I had any trouble...but I got it about a year ago. Try this link: https://www.paywithatweet.com/pay/index?id=70b1023b08cf7884550f2ffda6892bb8 I think once you post, you'll need to click the "access now" bar.
I am a huge lover of fonts and this is a huge collection, I must say – most of them eye-catching and great for professional designs.
Thank you!
what font did u use for under the sample of font...like "didot and arsenale white" thanks!!
Hi Lindsay! It's Futura Medium.
very nice presentation of the fonts. thank you!
This post is amazing, thank you so much! Some of the font websites can be so overwhelming-- so to have them displayed like this is so helpful!
Thanks! Found on Pinterest! going to download now! Adorable blog lady!
Great compilation! I used Janda Stylish and Sail for my daughter's birthday party invites and dessert treats labels. I'll download the others now. :)
I’m glad you like them!
Beautiful blog, btw! :D
Some of these aren't free, Futura Medium, for example, is $24.95! Yikes!
Hi Erik! It came "free" on my computer (same with Didot), which is why I included it--so you could discover some gems within the fonts you may already have. Sorry for the confusion if your computer doesn't already have Futura! It's one of my favorite fonts though, so I think $25 is totally worth it. I use it a LOT!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to try a couple of these, haven't downloaded any fonts before onto my Mac. When I clicked and chose install, that FontForge (I think?) popped up and sounded like it was going to take over my safari/internet? Is that right? Or am I just totally not understanding which wouldn't surprise me. :)
I love these fonts! I'd seen a few of these before but I really liked Quicksand. I'm going to start using it ASAP!
Thanks for sharing!

I don't see any way to download the free fonts. Where is the download button?
Wow, great Fonts. I love free fonts and I used it for ebook cover designs. I download my fonts from http://www.allfreefonts.net
