I am not what you would call very tech savvy. I barely can figure my way around my digital camera and convinced that my GPS is conspiring to drive me off a cliff. So, when I heard about downloading fonts someone might as well have been speaking a another language to me.
But, after learning about sites like Dafont and Urban Fonts people can think I am the next Bill Gates! I might be a little late to the party on this but these sites offer creative downloads of different fonts. The best part is the majority of them are free. I don’t think I have been this excited about making random signs for no apparent reason since my first Apple II GS. That banner function was amazing right?!?
Design*Sponge has been featuring fonts all this week and I am a changed woman. They are easy to download and super fun to play around with. Check out some examples below:
