Herbivore Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 buy................ fonts.............???? i think i'll stick to www.1001freefonts.com...... yeah, i know, most of them aren't even anti-aliased, and are cheesy, but still........ it's better than spending $125 on some fonts....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I disagree. Having the perfect font and being able to use it properly is key. I like the font 'Alako', It's playfull and fun, plus very well built for an informal script. oh... what's the hex code for the new background???

Quoted post i'm not saying i've never "evaulated" a typeface, but creating them takes a ton of work...and the designers who sit there and create multiple weight font families deserve to get paid... in some instances i'll bill a client for a specific font if it's used in their project..i've bought fonts from friends who designed them but in most cases i wouldn't pay for a font if i'm not sure i'm gonna use it on a paying gig...

Guest Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 yeah it's all about payment. I've had clients mock something up with a certain font and then forget to bring a copy of it along with them. That's a pain, but then we can always buy it online on their tab and we get to keep it. wheeeee!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kidlugz Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 alas, all i have is adobe fontfolio--which isn't so bad because it has all the staple fonts like baskerville, garamond, franklin gothic, and univers. even though i rarely use univers because it's BUSTED!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHH. yeah steve, you heard me. fonts that i want: akzidenz grotesque interstate gotham base nine a couple months back I considered drawing my own face--a kind of hybrid between futura condensed and franklin gothic. I was only going to draw uppercase characters because i had intended it to be used as display type, specifically for stacking the characters on top of one another in a very orderly fashion. after drawing 3 characters, i soon realized just how much time and patience is required to develop a typeface. needless to say, the kidlugz font will not be making its debut anytime soon.

POIESIS Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 i also wouldn't mind interstate.. and i like that passion script too.. my top five fonts i use way too much: perpetua minion din mittelschrift(all time fave sans..trendy though) myriad chylovek(this cheap ass russian looking sans) if anyone is dying to have one of these, drop an email and time permitting i'll hook it up.

SteveAustin Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 ^ you know my stance on fonts...so yeah...when you get a minute hook a brotha up with the top 5 sans myriad (used too much in my office...thus the univers). and yeah that passions script isn't bad. I could always use more of them. decent ones are hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
