Zone Erogene
Zone Erogene has some excellent free fonts and a strange love of mixed cases. Most of their fonts feature upper and lowercase letters thrown together into a bizarre orgy of casing. If you can get past that (like me), check out Arrière Garde, C Dans L’air and the Migraine family.
Update: Never trust the French. Links removed, see Stephen’s post in the comments.

The trouble with Zone Erogene is that their all stuff is basically remixed commercial fonts which could get them into legal trouble. I’m not sure this site fits the credo of fontleech.com, does it?
Migraine Sans = Stone Sans (looks like they’ve just used small caps for the uppercase forms)
Migraine Serif = Stone Serif
C Dans L’air = Helvetica
Arriere Garde = Avant Garde
…and so on.

Actually, fonts are hard to copyright … the code is copyrighted, but the design of the typeface is hard to copyright. Not saying you should keep a link to them, but what they’re doing may not be illegal.

gee, that comment was awfully inarticulate. let me clarify: the letter shapes that make a font aren’t necessarily copyright-able. (helvetica and arial, for example).

All legalities aside, I don’t believe the mere rearrangement of another designer’s outlines constitutes fair use in a purely ethical sense.

Whoops. :/
