25 Hottest Free Fonts of the Moment

Posted by estefany on Dec 2, 2008 in Freebies | 61 comments

We’ve selected the current hottest free fonts, organized in four categories. Check the list and see the lastest trends for typography.

Doodles and Sketches

These sketchy and “messy” fonts are getting noticed more and more. Using simple techniques, they are handwritten and irregular fonts that can really catch attention. Usually funny and informal, doodles and sketches can be a good choice for playing with intentional typos.

Madsh

Sunday Morning Garage Sale

Bobsmade font

Elefunkt

Karabine

Sketch Rockwell

Conglomerfont

Web 2.0

The shiny Web 2.0 style was a big explosion a little time ago, when we could see glossy colored buttons everywhere on the internet. Badges, gradients and reflections were widely used, and the typography was also an important part of this style. They are usually rounded, with soft lines, bold, and mostly sans serif. Below, some free Web 2.0 fonts.

Miso

Quicksand

Arista

Tondo

Moderna

Rezland

Ubuntu title

Techno

The techno (or “sci-fi”) fonts have also been explored recently. These fonts are usually rounded and resemble symbols from science fiction.

Evolution

Dreamforge classic

ABC version II

Avee Black

Quarters font

Simplistic Font

Grunge

Grunge typography was named after the musical movement, which was characterized by rebellion. Like the movement, grunge typography is inspired by the rejection of previous concepts; it breaks with these ideas by making something dirty, and differently beautiful.

Plaguedeath

Traymad

Incinerator

Heroin 07

Really nice font styles – I’m very impressed. I also like your website – very rich in useful content and ideas. Got the link to your website from someone else who’s a webdesigner (a pretty good one) and uses your website for inspiration. It sure enspires me. Best of luck to you

Love the grungy fonts – and will grab when I can. Another good one (which I use for my web design-related blog) is called ’28 Days Later’ – check it out.

I hate to sound to douchey, but I’m kinda getting tired of design blogs going FREE FREE FREE when you can’t use something for commercial purposes.

I’d use all of 2-3 of those, Quicksand is the only one i really like.

So that’s why so many websites all look the same: most of the fonts they’re using look exactly the same. Blech.

Nonetheless, PlagueDeath and Incinerator are *awesome* typefaces. In a world obsessed with “sleek” and “elegant” fonts–all of which look alike to me–I guess filth and decay are the last true bastions of creativity…even though a lot of grunge fonts are starting to look alike as well.

nice collection you have here.
I just have one quick question. I followed some of the links to download the types and it said “for non-commercial use”. I am curious what does it actually mean. Can I use it on my own site or others that I design for?.

Thanks,
mao

@moa Thanks for you comments. “for non-commercial use” well.. thats a really big debate on the net.. basically is intended for personal use, so in your own site would be fine, there is a nice article here about that matter.
