Goudy Bookletter 1911 (Barry Schwartz)

The great & free typography font Goudy Bookletter 1911 is made by Barry Schwartz and based on Frederic Goudy’s Kennerley Oldstyle.

A few words on why I think Kennerley Oldstyle is beautiful: In making this font, I discovered that Kennerley fits together tightly and evenly with almost no kerning. Thus the following words from Monotype specimen books are just: “[W]hen composed into words the characters appear to lock into one another with a closeness common in early types, but not so often seen in later-day creations.” These are letters that take command of the space around them; notice, for instance, the bowed shapes of the v and w.

Sketchetica (Ossi Gustafsson)

The new free font Sketchetica by Ossi Gustafsson is a mix between sketch an helvetica. The weight light you get free at the portfolio -> typefaces (via MyFonts.com).

Raleway (Matt McInerney)

Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface, designed in a single thin weight. It is a display face that features both old style and lining numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than it’s neo-grotesque inspired default character set.

Franchise Bold (Derek Weathersbee)

FRANCHISE is a powerful new display typeface meant to communicate your message quickly and with power. The characters were meticulously drawn to achieve a unifomity without compromising style. Franchise is just as much at home on the front of a donut shoppe as it is on the scoreboard at a football stadium. The face was created & kerned by someone who deals with type every day, so with Franchise, you won’t be spending all day fixing the space between A’s and Y’s. Happy Typesetting!

Powdah (Marc Clancy)

Powdah by Marc Clancy: »My first and last attempt at a real san serif typeface.«

Junction (Caroline Hadilaksono)

»Inspired by my favorite humanist sans serif typefaces, such as Meta, Myriad, and Scala, Junction is where the best qualities of serif and sans serif typefaces come together. It has the hand drawn and human qualities of a serif, and still retains the clarity and efficiencies of a sans serif typeface. It combines the best of both worlds.«

Lacuna (Glashaus-Design, Peter Hoffmann)

Lacuna von Glashaus-Design. Ein DIN ähnlicher Font, der einen Hauch der simplen Lineto-Ästhetik atmet.

You can copy and give it away to your friends as long as the font-info-file is included with the postscript or true type data. Lacuna may not be sold or redesigned without permission of the designer! If you do so – we have uncanny voodoo-powers and friends in Moscow.«

HIFI Stereo (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: »Often on old record covers there is this kind of letters indicating HiFi or Stereo. How can one resist doing a font of that, (naming it HIFI Stereo). Only uppercase at the time being.«

Well, it looks like Hellenic wide, if I can say so.

Worlds finest (Pelle Piano)

Pelle: There was an old refrigerator ad in LIFE Magazine that claimed it had the Worlds Finest refrigerators, hence the name of the font I tried to recreate. The original was outlined but I decided to fill it. I personally think it works best in smaller sizes. The above example is 25 points

Graublau Sans Web (Georg Seifert)

The design of Graublau Sans Pro took Georg Seifert over 5 years. With 7 weights and over 1000 glyphs per style, Graublau Sans is a type family that suits all typographic tasks. The regular styles have a rather clean and neutral appearance. The italics on the other hand, have a vivid design based on handwriting. For the use in headlines or logotypes Graublau Sans Pro offer 6 additional display styles with rounded corners and tighter spacing. Beside the typical western codepages, Graublau Sans Pro also supports Greek, Cyrillic, CE (Central European) and Turkish. There are also several sets of figures available: oldstyle figures and lining figures (both proportional and tabular), small caps figures, fraction figures, subscript and superscript figures and figures inside circles. The Graublau Sans Web package can be downloaded for free.

Gentium (SIL)

Gentium Basic and Gentium Book Basic are font families based on the original Gentium design, but with additional weights. The "Book" family is slightly heavier. Both families come with a complete regular, bold, italic and bold italic set of fonts.

Supported character ranges
The supported character set, however, is much smaller than for the main Gentium fonts. These "Basic" fonts support only the Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement Unicode ranges, plus a selection of the more commonly used extended Latin characters, with miscellaneous diacritical marks, symbols and punctuation. In particular, these fonts do not support:


Full extended Latin IPA
Complete support for Central European languages
Greek
Cyrillic
A much more complete character set will be supported in a future version of the complete Gentium fonts. These "Basic" fonts are intended as a way to provide additional weights for basic font users without waiting until the complete Gentium character set is finished. So please don't request additional glyphs or characters to be supported in the Basic fonts - such support will become available in the main Gentium family in the future.

Fontin Sans (Exlijbris, Jos Buivenga)

Jos: »Tallys is a font that is one degree slanted and has large caps, a small x-height and long ascenders. It comes (see also Fontin) with hybrid numbers and a complete character set. Besides standard ligatures some other combinations can be accessed via (application) OpenType options. The Tallys has one weight and comes in one style: roman... but hey, it's free. Maybe, just maybe i'll change my mind and add other weights and an italic later.«
