Behance is one of the greatest places compared with other galleries of online portfolios where you can get brand-new original fonts that are available for free. Of course, most of them are presented in one or two styles and in one or two weights without matching italics, non-distressed version, with character map limitations etc., however those who seek only one font that will ideally blend into the surroundings of an upcoming project as well as harmoniously complete the appearance, that is quite enough.
The more so, generally, the typographers offer full versions of their fonts, which comprise everything that you may need starting from various styles and ending up with some extended sets of characters, for a symbolic price.
Our round-up is a brief exploration of fresh and gratis typefaces that, in the first instance, are well-suited for editorial areas such as magazines, posters, flyers, brochures and graphic design such as print. If you are familiar with online services that help to convert simple fonts into web fonts, then you can easily broaden the scope of use of such types and use them in website design as well.
So, let’s meet our collection.
