   • Thank you for your comment, appreciate it!

   • You rock man! I am in love with fonts and that site you posted is amazing. Thank you so much!

2. Wow. Love all of these. I think you were the one who shared the “Moon” text I downloaded too. Such a cool font. Gonna get a whole bunch of these ones. Love the styles. Thanks for compiling this list!

   • That’s great Kim, thank you :)

3. Hi there Chris,

   It’s a great collection you got here, but I was really surprised to find one of my creation amongst it!

   To be more exact, I’m talking about the “Sloppy Hand” font, which I have created a couple of months ago, but seems to have gotten on the hands of other websites, like the one you’re sending through for download link, who have forgotten to mention the source.

   I would really appreciate it if you would replace the download link from your article with the original download link from my website – http://designalot.net/sloppy-hand-free-handwritten-font/

   Things like this help me keep on creating resources, which are mostly free.

   Thanks!

   • Absolutely! I’m sorry about that Bogdan. Whenever I create showcase posts like this I always try to drill down to link to the original creator. I somehow missed your official post. I’ve just updated the post to send people to your site.

     • No worries and thanks for updating the post!

       I’m glad I’ve found your blog and I’ve just subscribed to it!

       Thanks!

4. Thank you Chris…there are some nice ones in there
   to add to the collection.
   Merry Christmas to you and yours, and all the
   best for 2017.

   • Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

5. Hi Chris
   This is a nice article.Really worth to read it.I have used few fonts but I found many new fonts here.I am going to share with others.

   • Great to hear you have found some new fonts to share!

6. Thanks as usual for the amazing list. However I have the feeling 2016 leads no terrific news to typography (2015 was more iconic, with the explosion of that indie\script style (think about the Debby or the Mayton). Does anyone have the same feeling?

   • I feel that you may be correct, however it was a big stylistic design explosion last year – I can’t cope with that much input on an annual basis. Happy for some new in 2017 though.

     • Lets see what 2017 has to offer….
       :)

7. Hey Chris,

   Mark

9. To sum it up in two words. ‘GREAT STUFF’.

   • Thanks!

10. Thanks for sharing my ‘Tipper’. Appreciate it. Cheers!

    • No problem Mark :)

11. So many good ones to add. I especially like the chunky ones like Southbank Sans.

    • Glad you liked it Noah!

12. Thanks, Sir.

    • Thanks

13. Beautifully curated list, Chris. Thanks for sharing and for all you do. Happy holidays!

    • Thank you for your comment

14. How do you download the fonts from behance?

    • Hi Luke, the download link is sometimes a little hard to find on Behance pages because it depends where the user has placed it, but it’s usually a text link near the bottom.

15. Great list Chris, but I have to agree with Carlo’s comment, 2016 was essentially more of the same. But then I guess there are so many fonts available now, it really is difficult to bring anything new to the table.

16. Thanks a lot for Great Resource of the free font. I love all of these fonts. Appreciate your choice.

17. Fonts plays crucial role and choosing a perfect font isn’t an easy task when putting content on a design layout, even a slightly inappropriateness in using a perfect font may result a great cost. The same also applies when a web designer put content on the web site. Font matters then. Anyway, of all these, I like “Rude’ most. Thanks for such a such a post.

    • Totally agree, a choice of font can definitely make an impact!

18. My favourite is De Valencia font.

19. This is an awesome list Chris! Thank you for putting this together. This is going to come in handy for my website design business. http://webtheorydesigns.com

    Definitely going to share this on my social media pages.

20. Thanks for the list! These are wonderful :)

    • Glad you like them!
