that deliver content to the world elegantly, not just pretty stuff.
Few of the fonts mentions include OTF/CSS font features. Get
MEgalopolis up there at least, just for fun.
Having said that... A great resource for the ASCII folks out there,
and where design for a-z A-Z is the thing simply great.

For the guy who asked about a nice free font manager:

(http://www.xiles.net/nexusfont/)
I use it, its simple, flexible and I love it.
What a great collection. I think "archive" will come in handy for me
when designing logos for my clients. There are so many gems here

SOON. pity, they're really up my alley and i would definitely use
them in a future project.
Normally when I see an article about downloading free things, I get
a bit sceptic. Simply because it normally is just a way to get clicks

Now, I just registered to this blog so I could comment on this
particular post because I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of
the fonts and the fact that they all can be downloaded for free.
This time it proved to be true, so thank you for a great post and
some new great font to put to my library!
Oh forgot to mention that I'll be using the Barkentina font on at
http://tvillingvagn.com (http://tvillingvagn.com). I did find a few

Fonts can really make or break a design and especially when you
work a new project. I always remind myself of taking a step back
and looking at the whole picture.

Clean and easy to read fonts on a website is the way to go. On
http://www.snöslungan.com we've worked on acheaving that with
really basic fonts. It may be a weird example, but it works.
We are actually going to A/B test the headers with the current font
and the Denise font. It's all in the details.
Great read, thanks!
Another good typeface I've discovered thanks to you was one called
Born. I've been using for several weeks and I'm totally happy with

it, a nice type for text and UIX. I think it could be in this list too, it's

and must try to incorporate it somehow into future projects.
For type lovers, you might check out the typography forum
type.is/good for a ton of typography related resources and other
cool fonts. Anyhow, thanks again for the list and here's to an
awesome collection of fonts in 2014!
I'm glad that the list is not biased. Fonts are varied and specific to
their category.

I'm a budding designer, but typography has always been able to
hold my interest for HOURS. What shoes are to most women, fonts
(/users/junebrown)
are to me. My sister and I literally sat together for the past hour

and oohed and aahed over which ones would go with what designs.
I find it more inspiring for me, though as one who likes to donate
to artists, my bank account is suffering now. Thank you so much
for this list!
These fonts are awesome, nice collection!
