i heart this...

Most of you know that I'm a designer by trade and therefore I have an uncontrollable fetish with good type. This started in college when a group of close friends decided that we would forever be known as our "font" name. Garamond, the handsome (but, alas, gay) boy that I lived with, named us all...Futura, Caslon, Helvetica, etc.

Most fonts aren't cheap, in fact, the great ones are extremely expensive. For some typefaces, you could safely trade a kidney and barely have enough to also cover the sales tax. But DaFont.com has some really fabulous fonts for FREE. I don't get paid to write about them, but I've always said that "friends don't let friends use Arial."
