  41. Batfan says:

    Great post, Chris. A lot of my favorites here. I’m addicted to using ‘League Gothic’.

  42. Teresa says:

    League Gothic has changed my life. I begin, like, every design with it now. I REALLY need to pick something else. But I love it. Funny, just wrote a post bemoaning the over use of Museo. Love it, too, but I see it way too often now. Thanks for sharing. I see one or two I need to check out. I would also add the free font Lavosier. I find it extremely workable.

  43. Most of them new for me. Display images clean and nice.

  44. Cameron says:

    Thank you so much – I just figured out how to print on fabric but was at a loss for where to get fonts that were worthy of the process!

  45. Orbidia says:

    Brilliant set of fonts :)

  46. Deanna says:

    Oh my goodness. Ostrich Sans is my all-time favorite block font! I’ve been using it everywhere lately. (It’s in my blog header at this very moment.) I can’t wait to check out your other recommendations!

  47. sheri says:
