    These are so funky! Thanks for compiling a top-50 list of something that could otherwise be quite overwhelming.

    Hey nice collection! I hope to use one or two maybe once or twice. You know, in good taste.. hopefully!
    Nah, who am I kidding. The minute I need to make up a music poster I’m slapping one of these things all over it! Yea – rawk n roll.

    I love this free stuff, but I´ve got one question. Why arent there links like “download all” on these posts. I dont mean to be ungratefull, but going to 50 sites and downloading is a lot of work.

    Are there rights issues to this?

    Thanks again.

    These are great. But what about the work of Eduardo Recife of Misprinted Type? This guy’s a genius and his free fonts are extremely popular.

    Check it out.

    Thanks for the great posts!

    @gummisig – That would make it nice for our readers, but it’s important to reward the owners with a link back to their site.

    Sadly, I literally have every one of these installed on my computer. lol.

    That said, I obviously think this is a great selection! ;)

    Nice collection, I quite like “Broken Ghost”, its quite grunge but at the same time, quite clean so it has a good range of uses.

    And as I always say, you can never have enough fonts under your belt ;)
