Free Fonts Of The Month: Fertigo Pro, FF Nuvo
Every now and again we take a look around, select “fresh” high-quality free fonts and present them to you in a brief overview. The choice is enormous, so the time you need to find them is usually the time you should be investing in your current projects. We search for them and we find them, so you don’t have to.
This month we are glad to present only two freefonts, however these are truly beautiful ones: Fertigo Pro and FF Nuvo Medium. Please read the license agreements carefully — they can change from time to time.
- Free Fonts Of June features the updated Anivers, Gentium and Fresco,
- You can find over 80 more free fonts in our section Fonts.
Free Fonts Of The Month
Fertigo Pro
Jos Buivenga has updated the old freefont Fertigo and has now called it Fertigo Pro. Fertigo Pro is still free. Important changes are extended language support (more than 150 glyphs added), improved glyph shapes, 10 added ornaments/dingbats and improved metrics and kerning. Languages now (fully) supported: Latin, Central European, Croatian, Romanian, Icelandic, Turkish, Esperanto.
FF Nuvo OT MEdium
Designed by Siegfried Rückel, it’s a contemporary type design with vertical contrast, and especially the characters a, g and y show the calligraphic touch. Suitable for magazine design from headlines to longer texts as well as for advertising, packaging and corporate design. A free download for a limited time. OpenType.

July 28th, 2008 12:44 pmFont Help!
I ran across a new font “resource” (let’s call it that for now) website that allowed uses to select the font they wanted to use for their website and strip in some code and use the font.
The kicker is that it was thousand of professional fonts – for example:
You could select “Berkeley” and size, etc. – then get the code and strip it into your html and anyone, regardless of it they had Berkeley installed would see the font in their browser.
I can not find this anywhere. I’ve searched over and over in my RSS feeds, the web, forums. It was fairly new, I can’t recall what it was called. Anyone remember this?
Thank.

July 29th, 2008 5:49 amThanks Gabber. I’ve thought about the server possibility, but I want to play around and see how it works. Then maybe I can figure out a fallback.

Are you looking for http://facelift.mawhorter.net/ ?
And for some reason, I can’t download Fertigo Pro, myfont.com says it is not available, would anyone mind to please post it on a file hosting website like mediafire? Thanks in advance.
