One of These Days I'm Going to Get Organized by Greg Lamarche
Those that know me best know that I have a mild obsession with fonts. I have close to 200 fonts on my computer and I wanted to share my Top 5 websites for getting free fonts.

 5. FontSpace

The best feature of FontSpace is the ability to search through fonts based on a tag or category, making it relatively easy to navigate through their catalogue of close to 20,000 fonts to find a font that fits the look you are going for.

4. FontSquirrel

FontSquirrel has an impressive catalogue of premium fonts- all free of course. Plus the fonts are 100% free for commercial use. 

 3. The League of Moveable Type

I like to refer to The League of Movable Type as the Superheroes of Font Foundry. The League understands the value of a good font in a design. While their catalogue isn't as extensive as others, you won't be disappointed with the quality.

2. Smashing Magazine

Smashing Magazine is known for being the source for all thing related to design, from the back-end to the front-end. Among the multitude of freebies Smashing Magazine provides is free fonts from designers across the globe. 

1. Dafont.com

One of the most extensive catalogue of free fonts on the web, Dafont.com is the go-to source for many designers.  It is updated daily and has a font identification forum where members can identify fonts on virtually anything.

Honorable Mention: Kevin & Amanda's Free Scrapbook Fonts

Kevin & Amanda offers trendy and just darn cute handwritten-style fonts that are as unique as, well a person's handwriting. The site also offers services to turn your individual handwriting into a font.
