Free fonts
Inspired by the credits for TV series Justified, I’ve been searching for woodcut, hand drawn and Western style typefaces to refresh my websites’ header images.
After some research I decided to stick with the Dafont site because:
- there’s a broad choice of fonts and they add new ones regularly
- they classify fonts in a logical but creative way, making it easy to track down the style you have in mind
- the site is simple to navigate and use
- it’s easy to download fonts and they’re almost all free for personal use
- you can make a donation to font designers… which is good Karma!
Here’s a link - http://www.dafont.com/themes.php
I’ve used four unusual yet readable fonts in redesigned headers for three of my sites. It’s hard to pin down the actual financial benefits of cosmetic change, but it was time for a spring clean and it makes sense to keep your brand and image up to date.
