Fonts

I didn't think that this post could be useful to someone, but it might be. It is regarding fonts; something we all tend to overlook (Obviously, otherwise I would have posted this much sooner). Fonts are powerful and can speak more to an audience more than the words they compose. For instance, Times New Roman can suggest serious content while Comic Sans can conjure an "easy going" atmosphere. There are millions of fonts out there and they are constantly being made.

We can be among those few who design their own fonts for their own uses; we certainly have the power thanks to Photoshop. But why reinvent the wheel? I rely on this site for downloading fonts and it never let me down. It is, of course, one of hundreds of free font downloading sites, but I recommend this one because of its easily maneuverable layout and decent gallery. I hope it can serve you as well as it has served me.
