Need that creative and perfect font, but don’t know where you find it?  I’ve done a bit of font searching from time to time and have found 9 wonderful places where fonts are available.  Some are font sites that provide a large selection of fonts, while many of the sources I’ve put together have specialty fonts or a central theme to them.  In either case, check them out and let your inspiration flow!

1.  dafont.com

Dafont.com is one of the largest free font collection websites I’ve found.  There’s always a wide selection of custom fonts available.  Of course, it’s wise to always make sure the fonts you download don’t have any restrictions on their use.

2. 36 Free, High-Quality, Sans Serif Fonts For Your Clean Designs

This blog post compiled a nice set of 36 beautiful sans serif fonts along with some awesome previews, all for free of course.  You’ll notice that the fonts come from dafont.com, but I still really enjoy this post because it’s great for designers that have their font idea narrowed down to using a more specific sans serif font.

3. 25 Excellent Handwritten Fonts

Sometimes the best fonts are the ones that look the most realistic.  Above is a link to 25 elegant handwritten fonts.  Awesome for adding a more personalized and intimate style to any project.
