BRAVEFONT – Suitcase Fusion 2

Have far to many fonts? Can’t keep track if you really need that font or not? Then it’s time for you to invest in a font management program. For years Extensis has been making some of the industry leading software for just this. The latest incarnation of their font management software is called Suitcase Fusion but now it looks as though they are getting ready to release a major update, Suitcase Fusion 2.

The application is getting refresh of the user interface and even allows you to do a live font preview, which is something no other font utility has done in the past, at least to my knowledge. And if your like me and use the app on a daily basis, the $50.00 upgrade price looks like it be worth it.

Free Fonts – Part 1

As designers we all like “Free” and we all like fonts, and ordering Adobe’s Font Folio is a little out of most of our price range. So isn’t it nice when we can find Free Fonts to help keep our pocket books a little fuller.

Urban Fonts and DaFont both have a large selection of Free Fonts to choose from without running into duplicates. Both sites offer a variety of fonts organized into different catagories along with samples of what the fonts look like.

If you have any recommendations for Free Font sites go ahead and comment about it.
