Urban Fonts, yo

If you are like me, you like free stuff. Especially when it's free fonts.

If you are a huge fan of fonts...and you are hip and urban-like, check UrbanFonts.com. They are a new Web 2.0 powered site, man. They have a wide range of both utilitarian...and...wait for it...winsome typefaces and dingbats for a variety of web-based AND desktop tasks! So spectacular! They don't only have fonts, but they have a user forum and social bookmarking! It's myspace-esque, dog. They even have smart articles that cover all aspects of Internet typography.

If a website is trying to be really, really creative, they need a font that matches their design. (Times New Roman just doesn't cut it sometimes.) But...finding the right font on a PC or Mac can be tough. Now this site has sources ready to download the fonts. Commercial fonts. Awesome. And they are living all up in the age, but having a font blog, message board and articles. So you can stock up on fonts, but also participate and learn the art and craft of typography.

What does a company spokesperson say? “Of course fonts may not be as exciting or as sexy as the latest in Flash technology, but they can be just as vital to the success of your web design, if not more so." True, company spokesperson. You bring up a good point. They continued, “Without the right fonts in place, even the best looking web site can be difficult to navigate and difficult for customers to use.”
The fonts are in a variety of categories. They are grouped by use, alphabetically, author and by popularity. That's a lot of organization for some fonts, man! There’s even a list of UrbanFonts favorite fonts. You can display them in custom colors or text, to make sure they would be right for your project. That way you can try-before-you-download. Good call. Some are serif fonts. Some are all types of fun and all types of style. Some even resemble foreign languages.

The dingbat section contains symbols to fit a wide variety of needs, from transportation and flowers to smilies and sports. Cool!

The blog is also very helpful in helping you find the correct blog to use and it links to current topics on typography around the internet. The messageboard is good for help with design and you can talk to other font fanatics. And of course, you can bookmark all the pages using popular social bookmarking services. Check them out if you need fonts!
