   Anastasia is a copy of ITC Anna, ripped off by WSI and licensed to Canon as an OEM font.

      Yeah, I’m a little confused here. How can some of these fonts be free when they’ve been ripped and “licensed”?

      Hill House is a copy of ITC Rennie Mackintosh and Louisianne is a copy of ITC Einhorn.

   Thank you very much for some of these! I think im actually in love with Riesling, perfect font for hotel/restaurant style websites. Been on the look out for something like that for a while now actually. (Never can be bothered sifting through font websites)

   Always good to have someone pick out some really nice (and free) fonts for you.

   I’m finding at the moment that rather than my layout its my font choices that are making some of my designs really stand out. Was pretty rubbish at typography when I first started designing but I’m starting to get the hang of it.

    Thank you thank you thank you! I am designing a newsletter for my Father-in-Law’s vintage car club. Ballpark is exactly what I was looking for, and without having to wade through a zillion font sites! (Fun, but a time sucker). You just saved my Sunday afternoon.
