As we all know, you can never get enough good quality fonts. The keyword there being quality
While it is hard to find real quality in the sea of free fonts, there are a lot of very talented designers creating some very cool fonts. Here’s a list of 20+ that I’ve recently enjoyed.

“To understand issues surrounding web fonts from the type designer’s perspective, we interviewed David Berlow, co-founder of The Font Bureau, Inc., and the first TrueType type designer. The Font Bureau has developed more than 300 new and revised type designs for The Chicago Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Hewlett Packard and others, with OEM work for Apple and Microsoft. The Font Bureau Retail Library consists largely of original designs and now includes over 500 typefaces.” –Ed.
Every now and again we take a look around, select “fresh” high-quality free fonts and present them to you in a brief overview. The choice is enormous, so the time you need to find them is usually the time you should be investing in your current projects. We search for them and we find them, so you don’t have to.
In this selection we’re glad to present you Junction, Nadia Serif, Nilland, CartoGothic Std, Bergamo Std, Comic Serif, Birra Stout, Vegur and a couple of other high-quality free fonts. Please read the license agreements carefully before using the fonts — the license can change from time to time.
