Ten great fonts for under a tenner

You can get some pretty good fonts for free… (my favourite resource is French site daFont). If you need something quick and dirty for a one-off project, you can often get hold of something that will get the job done.

If you do go down the paid for route, you will get a more professional result, and you don't always have to pay top dollar. Here's a set of funky and decent quality fonts, all bursting with personality, that won't break the bank.

1. Earmark – A mega fatface – great for posters and t-shirts
Available here, $7.95

2. Stampete – A nice distressed rubber stamp font
Also from MyFonts… a snip at $9

3. Streitkraft – A rather funky stencil – with loads of options
Each cut will cost you a beastly  $6.66

4. Glengary - Pure 1950's brushscript!

Only $7.95 here.

5. Samegang - A different slant… one of the best graffiti style fonts I've seen.
Just sneaks in under the $10 at $9.99 here.

6. Silicone - For a cool, modernist look 
Available in every weight you'll ever need (14 of them!) at $8.95 a pop. here.

7. Mia Pets - Funky animals, robots and mythical creatures dingats. 62 of 'em.

8,9,10. REM Collection - So I cheated… but these were co-created by Michael Stipe from the band, and the collection contains 3 fonts, each of which has been used by the band
£28 for the three… that works out at just over £9 each. from Veer, rather than MyFonts for a change.
