Font-o-ville


Font-o-ville is a Dutch foundry offering some cool, original retro fonts for download. I like The Bends and the Orpheus family, a nice sans serif package that seems a little out of place thematically (not that I’m complaining). The site’s been lying dormant for a year and half, so who knows how long these fonts will be available.

I like The Bends, where do you find all these cool sites?

I say, I say, have you done Gentium yet?

I’m sticking around in hopes of free serifs, but they’re dashed hard to find. P’raps this one with all the accent thingummydoodles will be spot-on?

Good call Wooster. Gentium is probably the finest free text serif family. There are so few because they take more than a day to make. Painstaking stuff, that.

Thanks awfully, old bean. No question serifs are the dog’s todgers, and altogether too much work for chaps and chapesses to be handing out right and left. Doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate it when we get one, though, you know.
