Free Fonts Of The Month

GrauBlau
Graublau Sans Web regular and bold were designed by Georg Seifert. The fonts are optimized for screen use and support a wide range of character encodings, for example ISO 8859-15 (Western), ISO 8859-2 (Central European), ISO 8859-3 (Turkish, Maltese and Esperanto), ISO 8859-4 (Baltic), ISO 8859-5 (Cyrillic), ISO 8859-7 (Greek) and ISO 8859-10 (Scandinavian). According to the license, you may not use the font to create commercial print artwork, but you may use the fonts in any PDF documents and on an unlimited number of websites using the font-face-attribute.

Ingofonts
Ingofonts offers all fonts for free. However, typefaces which are offered to download contain only a reduced font. That means, the font only consists of uppercase and lowercase from A to Z or rather, a to z. Below you see Absolut Pro, Wendelin and Josef Pro, two of the typefaces offered for free download. To download the fonts, check out the section “free fonts” in the left sidebar. (Thanks, Chris Apalodimas!)

    GrauBlau looks like a reincarnation of every other sans-serif typeface posted in this series.

    Nevis, though, looks like it might be useful.

    I think the makers of Gotham may regard Nevis as a breach of copyright…

    “According to the license, you may not use the font to create commercial print artwork, but you may use the fonts [...] on an unlimited number of websites using the font-face-attribute.”

    Does the font designer realize how useless that is?

    The GrauBlauWeb font doesn’t seem to work properly with FF3.5. The ff ligature displays correctly in Safari but either doesn’t render at all or crashes the browser for Firefox. Too bad since it’s a really nice font!

    I’m in love with “Graublau”, too but I had to experience the same issue with “double f” words. Strangley the problem appears only in InDesign and Photoshop, whereas for example in Wordpad everything works normally. Any help in sight?

    Cheers,
    Daniel
