10 free and cool fonts

Font - part of the corporate identity, which can not be neglected. The shape and shape of the letters is the basis of the readability and mood of the brand. The text surrounds us everywhere: the name of the company, a slogan or an advertisement in a magazine. Meet on clothes.

Creating fonts is a science, but the worldwide network offers an inexhaustible source of public families from typography gurus.
