Every so often I surf over to MyFonts.com and do an advanced search (they have nice search tools on their site!) for free fonts. (The search string winds up being http://new.myfonts.com/search/lowest_price%3A0/fonts/ if you feel like bookmarking it.) And I found some great ones this time around.

Some font designers are just flat-out generous and give away their hard work for nothing; others are a combination of generous and savvy, and give away one or two fonts in a larger font family, in the hopes that you’ll like it so much that you’ll buy the whole thing some day. In any event, if you’re a designer short on budget, you can still create some beautiful typographic designs without spending a penny.

As an experiment, I downloaded a bunch of free fonts from MyFonts.com and set to work creating a design using nothing but them. (Even the border and background are made from free fonts.)

Happy designing!
