FreeFacing | 35 free Heavyweight fonts
My next installment of FreeFacing is on heavyweight fonts; those that are ink heavy black fonts. These fonts should be used large for capturing attention in displays and headlines. Some of my favourite heavyweights include Romeral, BP Diet, Olijo, Titillium Text and Komika Axis.
Some of the fonts have limited characters, lacking glyphs such as ampersands; you should always check that a font has all the glyphs you require before starting.
Here is a quick schematic of some of the better heavyweight fonts available freely to you. Below the diagram are links to 35 free fonts.
