Free Font Downloads
Ever get the feeling that something is too good to be true? That’s the way I feel about Urbanfonts.com. They paid me for a review of their site of their site through ReviewMe, and I wasn’t expecting anything nearly as great as I found.
First, this is a great looking site. Maybe it isn’t Gallery-worthy, but it’s very pleasing to the eye. So I immediately had a good impression.
It only got better.
They have more than 8,000 freeware fonts ready for download. Now, admittedly, sorting through that many could be a nightmare. Not here, though. They have a ton of different ways to help you find that right font.
Let’s start with the basics and work up.
- Browse by name.
- Browse by category.
- Browse by most popular.
- Browse the top searches.
- Browse new fonts.
- Browse favorite fonts.
Vernon: Are you done yet?
Bender: Not. Even. Close. Buuuuuud.
They link to two more really cool tools.
The first is What The Font. It allows you to scan a font and upload it, and they then find the closest match.
The second is Identifont, which asks you a series of questions to find the right font.
All in all, a very cool site that I’m definitely going to remember.

Excellent, I love searching through fonts :)
I just recenlty came across Urban Fonts myself and thought it was a great resource. Of course when I actually saw my name in your post I was like, “Hey wait a second” just because it’s not the most common name. Thanks for the post and have a great one!
I like the switch from font name to “abcdefg…” when you roll over any font. Superb idea :-)
