A to Z : 89 Incredible Fonts For Your Next Design (unique share)
(Post by Mag-Net) There are many good sites available for free font downloads. The three that I visit the most are dafont, fontcubes and urbanfonts. A lot of these sites overlap fonts, but they are all worth a look. I definitely frequent dafont the most.
I’ve put together a list of my favorites, that I feel every designer should put in their toolbox.If i had missed out any fonts that you think are cool, please share through the comment section. Without talking much, let’s see the list.

It’s a fantastic collection! Thanks. I love vintage fonts
In my personal opinion most of the fonts are quite “grunge” and not suitable for main stream corporate sites. But still its a cool collection. :)
thanks
