[Download] 17 Awesome Free Fonts From Webdesigner News

Not every design looks good with some of that Arial magic in it. Or Tahoma magic. Or, horror of horrors, Comic Sans magic.

And don’t get me wrong, Arial is an awesome font. It’s simple, highly readable, and it gets the job done.

However, you cannot rely on default fonts all the time. At some point, your designs will end up looking predictable and you’ll start limiting your own creativity without even realizing it at first.

You obviously need some new fonts, but there’s a problem, and everyone who’s ever searched for quality fonts knows it.

The problem is that looking for fonts on the web is much like trying to drink from a waterfall. You technically can do it, but you’ll very quickly realize that the volume is way more than what you can handle.

That’s where font bundles come into play.

So today, we’re testing one of such bundles. This particular one comes from Webdesigner News and packs 17 awesome fonts. Oh, and the whole thing is free.

What’s inside

The bundle consists of 17 hand-picked and distinct fonts that are optimized for different purposes and represent different design styles.

There’s a handful of categories that the fonts fall into. For instance, you’ll find highly geometric fonts, elegant cursive fonts, modern minimal fonts, traditional text faces, and everything in between.
