It’s been a while since Free for All visited our crowd-favorite category of freebies—fonts. As my way of making up for the length of time, here’s the first of two all-free-font Free for All installments. Come back next month for even more free font goodies!
Body Copy and Headline
These typefaces have the clean legibility required for use in high density such as in body copy, or they’re suited for large-size display in headlines.
WhoopAss
Grimy, worn, torn, and stepped on best describe the feeling evoked by grunge typefaces, making them perfect for any project that isn’t gleaming, new, refined, or uppercrust.
Handwritten & Handdrawn Fonts
Nothing conveys that personal, homemade touch quite like handdrawn type and fonts created directly from real people’s handwriting.
Symbols and Dingbats

Eclectics
The following assortment isn’t easily sorted into the other classifications, so I’ve made them their own little group.
