   There are some really nice fonts in this post that can give a massive impact when first arriving on a website. I especially like League Gothic. To work along side these great headings you need good typography throughout. A good post that i looked through for this is – 28 Free High Quality Fonts to Boost Your Typography.

    The “Steinem” font link does not work anymore. I found a working version of it here: http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Steinem.htm

    Update the link reference if you want.

    Some of the gothics are commercial quality. Good resource. Thanks.

36. Julio Flores April 12, 2010 at 4:44 AM Reply

    Wooow! I just discovered that It´s not only me finding the “League Gothic” a very nice tipography. I used it recently in a CD cover (a demo) and simply works very well.

    Oh! and it´s unfortunate that (for now) it´s a pain to use some fonts on web (talking about licenses). I really hope this issue be solved someday.
