The first one looks brilliant ! I am going to use it on one of my designs -)

Great finds, once again.

Now here’s a related question, and perhaps one shared by other fontophiles: Is there a better font than MyriadPro for tight fitting text? Or rather, the condensed players in this family.

IMHO it beats Helv. Neue family, as well as any of the other standard condensed sans serif families.

I’d like to hear of other folk’s experience with tight-fitting condensed fonts that read well even with over-tracked spacing.

Maybe this inquiry might make a post of it’s own?

Walkaway and Karabine are great fonts. I didn’t know the others.So thanks for sharing. I’ve got a list of 12 free hand drawn fonts (like karabine) on my blog at Link [www.fudgegraphics.com].

Wow, very good selection!
I’m totally in love with Freebooter Script. Geek and Hype

I couldn’t access ‘Karabine’ at dafont.com so here’s an alternate link:

Is Freebooter Script free for commercial use? I can’t find any Terms and Conditions on the website.

Freebooter Script is not a quality font. When it’s enlarged it looks really ugly!

I keep getting the error:
The following errors were found:

on Cora Basic Regular font form page

Another free font i’ve found today ;)

Need more! :) Love that Cora Basic one though, I sent a request.

Freebooter Script is free for commercial work, and as such being free, is not up to the standards of commercial work, its free why complain ? It was a quick fix from a scan job of a finepoint texta done on standard paper.

Walkway, also by Graham Meade, you may find a few small problems using the font, as it was an unfinished demo set that was never intended for internet release. One of the people a beta set was sent to for testing posted it on a few sites and this is the version that is now only available. It is freeware and has all the characters, but the spacing and kerning was not completed.

One of our clients used Walkway exclusively. As far as this font looks nice, it is nowhere near usable for professional design. Having to babysit every pair of letters was a serious pain and it was just a start of inconsistencies. Working with fonts like these makes you appreciate the $400+ families.

I’m glad that the client moved to a cheaper agency that doesnt care about Link [www.ironicsans.com].

ok, once again a strong recommendation for all free typo fans to have a look at this page: Link [fontstruct.fonshop.com]… You’ll see why!
Btw, @smashing team: i think it’s actually worth being mentioned in you next typography post…

It’s odd… on Firefox the form doesn’t work: error “HTTP_REFERER”, even though my browser it’ ok, I just followed the link posted here(I mean you don’t expect me to manually edit the HTTP_REFERER just to get a stupid font?!), but on IE it seems ok. Thanks :P

Really cool typography!

SmashingMagazine always rocks.

!!!!!!!!!!!! nice collection

Finally got my Core Reg. font. Really cool! Nice collection, simply smashing. Thanks!

Cora* of course.

@shasta: The link you provided leads to a cyber-squatter jump page because of a typo. (You forgot the T in fontshop.com ;) ) Corrected Link FontStruct looks like a pretty awesome tool BTW.

@everyone: What the heck ever happened to the legit typographers of Apostrophic Lab for that matter? It’s like one person caused the mass-disappearance of a lot of really good font makers like Graham Meade, Derek Vogelpohl, and others.

The first font really ROCKS!!

Thanks.

The Cora font offer is apparently ended already… 2 days only?!?! what the hell…

“The promotion ended, i am afraid.”

Agree with Casey here. What kind of promotion is that?! I checked the article (dunno what the hell is Walkway doing here, it is *really* hideous), tried to download Cora and - nothing. Promotion ended. Well, thanks for that kind of promotion. Eh, I am wondering why people use warez fonts then, hm?

Apostrophic lab run for approx 2 years, then fell in a hole due to a number of circumstances. One such being Greenbay Font Cd Collection. The site had a stricyt policy that the freeware fonts were in absolutely no way to be included in any form of compilation CD, but they did it and sold the stuff. The Fontmakers individually decided that they were no longer interested in doing free work so other parasites to make money off them. and it just ground down.
I hear Derek may be soon making a comeback after being out of the scene for three years, most of the others either started commercially, left the scene totally, or greatly reduced their free work.

As stated, Walkway was not intended for release in the form you have it, again due to someone not interested in the designers wishes, and purely for a one upmanship thing. Yes Walkway is horrendous, I know because I made it.

@Michael Langham
I quite like news gothic, for tight text, I wouldn’t call it better than myriad pro, but nice to have another option even if it is a fraction wider.

Can anyone upload the Cora font to Rapidshare or something? I’m still keen to get it.

Cheers

i dunno if it’s against the rules but it would be great that someone could upload the Cora font to some server.

Totally agree with Sanchito!

Thank you for ur font,So good.
