Keys That Click - Minding your own design business and other observations

For the most part I had given up on “free” fonts available on the web for use in my projects. Most of the time they didn’t offer enough styles/weights for a font-family and that was if I was lucky enough to find one that actually allowed commercial use. You see, a lot of free fonts posted on various free font sites stipulate that the fonts be used only in personal or non-commercial applications, which is unfortunate for those of us that want to use it in a project for a paid client.

Enter Font Squirrel. Font Squirrel has a collection of fonts that are actually free for commercial use, making it very handy for designers trying to get some fonts on the cheap (cheaper than cheap – free!). You can even find a fair number of them that have various styles and weights which is an extra plus. [Font Squirrel]
