Font art geekery

[Betty]

I love fonts. LOVE them. I will spend a good hour every now and then downloading more I've discovered. I download them for no specfic purpose in mind - other then I love fonts.

I've only ever paid for a handful of them - retro ones that I wanted to use for a specific purpose... the two I used were Chicken Basket and Cocktail Script and I still like those... but I need to go find more. This thread has made me itchy for new ones.

Last count I was up to about 4000 of them. I thought that was bad until I had a guy online about 2 years ago helping out with a logo design who informed me he had over 10,000 of them.

So no, you're not the only one with a thing for fonts.

Even the "plain" font you use in business letter can set the tone of it - happy? serious? The right font can help get that across.

One of my favorite font places is fontdiner.com. A few free fonts - lot's you can buy - and all so very kewl.
