It’s always a good idea to have some reliable fonts in your arsenal with a bit of character – in this case retro flair – and that’s just what Haymaker + Roper provide. While Haymaker offers users a pay-what-you-want option, it’s limited with weight and texture. That’s where Roper comes in. Roper’s similar in style, but is packed with options, and at $12 a pop for any version you’re looking for, it’s affordable too.
I’ve decided to change the fonts-I-dig format up a bit – showing you some fonts I’m really into that you can get for free and a more thorough + similar purchased one. Many times free fonts don’t come stocked with glyphs you’re likely to use..sometimes they’re even missing some basic punctuation. So if the free one is doing it for you but you just want more, listed below you’ll find a similar font for a fee.
If you’re a text fiend like me, you know choosing proper fonts for any type of application can make or break it (no pressure). Luckily, there are a lot of super talented typeface makers out there that create solid solutions to pull you out of – what can sometimes feel like – a font options abyss. You just need to know what you’re looking for. This is the first in a new monthly post of my current favorite fonts, free or purchased, that I can’t get enough of or would highly recommend for a specific purpose. Below each font, I’ll list what I like and dislike, which type of application I would use it for, how I’d use it, and what kind of typeface I would pair it with. So, month no.1, here we go!
Font choices can sometimes be challenging when creating festive items around the holidays. There’s always the fear of being too cliche when you want a more clean or more mature look. That’s why I’ve put together 10 free fonts that work great for just that kind of application. Read on to see them all!
