I know, the real name is deviantART, but I like Devian Tart better. Several original fonts by a gaggle of young crazy happy-go-lucky designers and enthusiasts. The original fonts are mixed in with archived fonts, so it's a bit of a jungle. However, it was a goldmine of undiscovered fonts and new ideas, until about 2010. Since then, the site gets swamped with self-promotion messages, and amateurish graphics, and the font downloads have dwindled to a trickle. Direct downloads at TypOasis. [Google] [More] ⦿ | |

Wonderful and useful archive, beautifully presented by the most generous of fontaholics, Petra Heidorn, a.k.a. CybaPee. Includes nice type art. The web presentation and the categorization are exemplary. Dingbats are used in a creative way to spice up things, and CybaPee juggles Paint Shop Pro like no one else. The growing archive is especially strong for decorative, blackletter, alchemy, Xmas, Celtic, and display fonts. The newest sub-page features Asian fonts (that is, Asian-style Roman letters). These pages are perfect: enjoy them! [Google] [More] ⦿ | |
