Because Tay craves fonts the way some women crave shoes...



There are lots of good links at the places listed below, but these are favorites, and places we deal with again and again

The Scriptorium
Dave Nalle and Co.
The Scriptorium is a pay site, but most of the fonts are available in trial sizes. They are grouped by category and easy to browse, and they also have incredible graphics packages. We have the complete collection, and a subscription to their font-of-the month. Yes, I absolutely love them that much. Many of the great fonts you see in wide current use are knockoffs of these. They have an incredible selection of Historical, Arcane and Decorative fonts, but are great across the board.

Chank Diesel
Chank is the man. He does for modern, retro and loungy what Dave Nalle does for historical fonts. You have seen his work everywhere, on food wrappers and posters, you just don't know it's him. We have been using his fonts for years, and he also has a font of the month club. He has pay and free fonts, and he has left links all over the site to fontographers you need to see. Worth the trip even if you are not a font addict.

Dafont.com
If you are looking to score it for free, this is the place to go. Great browsing by category, constant updates.

fontaddicts
need help finding resources? need a font identified? looking for an opinion from someone using the same setup as you? try here. Great resource page with identification info and lots of font sites and tool links.

Font Diner
we love retro fonts. don't miss the braineaters collection - based on the horror poster fonts of the 50's and 60's (I have all of these, too. It was a tax thing, I swear...)

Blambots
for comics and graphics fonts and lettering
