Tired of the using the same old fonts? Smashing Magazine has put together a great collection of free fonts. Yes, you read correctly – FREE! And they aren’t garbage fonts either. There are some nice alternatives if you are one of those designers stuck on using the same san serif font or if you are looking for a new classic.

For example, District Thin is a beautiful san serif font, especially if you are looking for that nice clean thin look. See it compared to Helvetica, Frutiger or Univers:

Or Canonica instead of “Times New Roman”, and if you are looking for a font with less x-height and narrower then Century Gothic, try Geosans Light.
