It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with fonts. Just recently, I asked my husband for a font for Christmas…. but he thought it was a bit ridiculous to buy me a font for Christmas. (And I can’t say I disagree). But weird or not, I love them. I’m constantly looking at cards or signs or menus, in search of new fonts. I love how they can be used to entirely change the look of a picture or graphic, and how they can be everything from professional to playful. I can’t be the only person like this? Can I?! Anyway, I thought I’d post some fun fonts for bloggers today, as well as some great font resources (yes, you can download TONS of fonts online). Well, not just bloggers really – these could be used for tons of things – but probably not report writing. So without further ado…

As you can see, dafont is a great resource – thousands and thousands of free fonts. My other favourite place to go for great, free fonts (albeit a smaller selection) is lost type . And then there’s Font Squirrel , and MyFonts .
And if you’re looking for fonts to use on your actual site (rather than for photo editing, etc.), there’s always Google Fonts . I’ve wanted to change my blog fonts for ages, but had been avoiding it because it required some actual html coding. But I finally figured it out this past weekend, and I love the new look!
Happy blogging / designing!
PS. The font I wanted for Christmas is
Bombshell Pro by Emily Lime
. It’s so perfect! I neeeeeeed it. Haha.
