Free font Friday - Letterpress edition

This post was inspired by the Hatch Show Print shop. They are one of the oldest working letterpress print shops, and one of very few that are left. Their pieces have a very unique and cool look to them. If you spend much time in the south, especially Nashville, you've probably seen their signs. Heck, they are all over the airport.

I've also noticed this to be a popular trend in digital graphics, with vintage logos and letterpress-style typography everywhere. (You can find a good tutorial on how to achieve the effect here.) I've also seen this style of design all over the place at craft fairs and open-air markets. I currently have one of these signs up in my son's room. It makes me happy every time I see it.

Finally, let's just face it. I have been in love with all things vintage lately. I went to the Bella Rustica market a couple of weeks ago, and it was a wonder I didn't come home with everything. I did get a good deal on an old Coke crate and a super cute vintage apron. (I was going to blog about it, but I didn't end up taking enough pictures.)

So, without further ado, here are the fonts.

Free Font Finds Friday

I haven't decided whether to make this a regular feature, but I like the alliteration anyway. Below are some of my favorite light-weight fonts. If you have any favorites that aren't in the list, share them in the comments below. Enjoy!

50 places to find free fonts


Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with fonts lately? Well, it's true, and I have been scouring the 'net for good ones, and have stumbled across some great places to find them. Some of these are directories with thousands of fonts, some just have a handful, and some aren't dedicated to fonts but still have a very nice selection. Have fun checking them out. I know I did. You may notice some glaring omissions. If I found a selection obvious (dafont, 1001fonts) or just really didn't like the design of the website (eyesore, hard to search, etc.), I didn't include them on the list. I'm going for high quality sites that may be a bit off the beaten path. I also tried to link directly to the free fonts whenever possible.
