Last time I wrote about free fonts, people complained arguing that free fonts can’t be used in professional designs, partly because of the lack of font variations. In this post, I’ve been looking for quality fonts that have more than one weight and found quite a few. Of course, these fonts don’t compare with Helvetica or Univers, but they are of good quality and usable in some professional designs.
