I like Brazillian designer Galdino Otten’s design here – Haus Sweet Haus – it’s pretty fun and unique, would be at home in a headline or logo design that calls for legible from afar sans serif sensibility but retains some fun funky quirkyness. Download and enjoy Haus Sweet Haus TTF.

Capture It, from Hungarian based type designer Koczman Balint at Magique Fonts – A rough edged stencil font is always good to have around – and Capture It is just that, BOLD and heavy but still legible. Great for headlines and other display type use – It looks very familiar, maybe from a video game package? Capture It surely captures the spirit of basic stencil letterforms. Download Capture It TTF font.

Freeway Gothic, a very legible free font from American freeware type designer Tom Oetken. It’s Nice, thick, heavy and bold. It sort of captures the spirit of Font Bureau’s Interstate Bold but is a little more extended with a slightly less polished appeal (to me, that is a good thing – i appreciate a font that isn’t too polished). Maybe this face would work great on a highway sign, or any sign that someone needs to read while speeding past. zoom. zoom. Download Freeway Gothic truetype font file.

Surface is from Bruno Herfst at Sauce Design in the Netherlands, a very nice medium weight humanist sans-serif font. Falls somewhere between text and display, very friendly. not too hard – not too soft, just right. Lots of foreign characters and such. Download Surface Medium OTF file.

Lane, from the prolific Apostrophic Labs is supplied in three versions – Narrow, Posh, and Upper. Narrow is just the nice, elegant plain jane none stylized version of this thin face. Posh adds the knockout stroke drop shadow look. Upper adds a funky underlined lower case variant to the mix, with underlined lower case vowels being the only thing different from the narrow version. Pretty funky when you need it to be, or just simple if that’s what you are looking for. Download the three LANE truetype faces.
