Treasured Type

I was going to title this post “Favourite Fonts” but it seemed a bit too bourgeois for my taste (I learned that word from Karl :P ). I guess in a way fonts can be compared to precious hidden treasure. You often have to dig through a multitude of crappy dingbats and bad kerning to find the best ones. Not to mention the cost of those high-quality fonts, which can go from around $20 to more than $800. The ones I’ve listed here are either default OS fonts, open-source or paid fonts. I’ll try to add more later when Photoshop stops acting up… Enjoy!

Ooo, I’m a fan of a couple of the fonts you posted, especially Quick Sand. But yeah, there are so many fonts out there, it takes a lot of time to really dig through them and find the good ones.

I love typography, i think it either makes or break a graphic. Just a few days ago, I downloaded a bunch of fonts. Haven’t got a chance to test them out yet though.
