For Font Fanatics

I still remember the first time I realized that I could use different fonts on my documents. I’d been working on an old 386 and was barely able to create a simple document without freezing the machine. That’s when I broke down and bought a brand new Windows 95 Pentium computer from Gateway2000. Yeah, they had the 2000 after their name then.

One of the first things I did with that new computer, after I’d gotten it online through dial-up, was search for fonts. I’d been reading about fonts and graphics in my various computer magazines and couldn’t wait to go hunting. I became obsessed and it seems that obsession is still alive and well.

I’ve been poking around UrbanFonts, thrilled at all the selections. I love to Download Free Fonts and this place makes it so easy. The site loads quickly (not all font sites do) and the fonts are organized logically.

My only complaint about this site is that there is so much to see that I forget that I have laundry to fold or supper to put on the stove. In other words, I can’t leave this place. I want evey font I see there, especially the ones I’ve never seen anywhere else.

Anyone who does design, for the web or for print, will want to bookmark UrbanFonts. Just don’t leave the water boiling on the stove when you hit this place. Trust me on that one.
