5 More Freefonts: Chúcara, Preface, Colaborate

Advertisement

High quality freefonts are always nice to have, but usually they are extremely hard to find. Usually it requires much time and patience to get a lead on some gorgeous typofaces out there. Every week we take a close look around, visit dozens of typography-related sites, check out the latest updates and choose the best free fonts, which have been released or appeared over the last few weeks. And all the fonts we find are getting published immediately, here on Smashing Magazine. So what did we find this week?

1. Chúcara: to get the font, contact the designer Juan Pablo De Gregorio or add a comment to the post, explaining, who you are, why are you willing to get the font and how do you intend to use it. The author sends the font via e-mail. Links checked: June/26 2008 – 2 Fonts deleted.

Even more Freefonts!

Here are the articles with references to over 50 high quality freefonts we’ve managed to collect so far. Thanks to all designers, typo-artists, bloggers and foundries, who/which released these fonts for free, spread the word and thus enriched the state of web-typography enormously.

    Walter –

    I agree.. Fonts like colaborate that come with multiple weights are so usefull.. Especially for use on the web and in simple designs with lots of copy.

    Very good fonts!
    Thank you for another nice examples of free fonts.

    Sometimes we think that only stock fonts are good, but you’re showing that we can download some good for free =)

    Thanks for referencing your source!

    The free fonts are not bad. But they’re still free. This means, they ar not perfect. Really good fonts are so much of work. So it can’t be free. But sometimes there are some real cool fonts to find on the web.
