Font question...

[fajrdrako]

Does anyone know a good place to download fonts? I'm looking for handwriting fonts and futuristic fonts.

dafont.com is hereby seconded. I assume you're strictly looking for legit freeware fonts, or are you willing to take payfont recommendations as well?

Payfont recommendations would also be good; I may not buy them, but I'd like to know good places to look if I were able to.

Try Canada Type (http://canadatype.com/), Ray Larabie's Typodermic (http://typodermic.com), and the odd Blambot (http://blambot.com/) as well. Typodermic may have supplied the monitor display font seen on JJ Abrams' version of the Enterprise bridge: Korataki (http://www.typodermic.com/73.html). I am not entirely certain of this, though.

Yet.

Many thanks.

Check out the Apostrophic Laboratory archives (http://apostrophiclab.pedroreina.net/) while you're at it. The fonts range all over the map, and I think you may find more than a few of them useful for any number of projects.

What a fascinating site! I love it that half the fonts are named after drugs. And they are so interesting. This is a treasure trove - even if just for browsing - thank you!

You're welcome! I'm not sure what I think of the font-naming practice they had back when they were in full flower with their own site, but the Apostrophic Laboratory came up with a lot of great designs. I thought Republika was among the most ambitious of their works, with Komika close behind.

I've been seeing some I just can't imagine in use. I kind of liked the one that was all birds, though.
