As a new designer, I realized early on the importance of choosing the right typeface when it came to logo design. Now there are a lot of good sites for free fonts, but by spending a few bucks, you can really get a quality font. A lot of times, a whole font package is quite expensive, but here is a list of 10 fonts that are sold individually and really do pay for themselves on the first project.
Tech:
Sommet, $21.99
Sans Serif:
Uni Sans, $29
All Caps:
Carrosserie, $19.50
Fun:
Grilled Cheese BTN, $12.99
Slab serif:
Aviano Slab Regular, $21.99
Script:
Satisfaction, $12
Retro:
Coquette, $29
Grunge:
Pound, $8.95
I hope you enjoyed this post. These are some fonts that I use on a daily basis for all types of different projects. If you have any comments, please leave one and I’ll respond.
God Bless

Hey Sean, cool post. Me thinks my favorite is Sommet. Also the new site looks great.

Great post…I downloaded Museo immediately since it was free. The other ones look great too, but I think I’ll wait until I get a fitting project. Thanks!

A good article Sean, I actually used one of the font from the font family ‘Aviano’ in my first ever logo for a client (with some slight adjustments) Check it out: http://www.babyroyale.co.uk
