Hi all, I’m struggling to find a good source of fonts online, where do you find yours?

I’m talking about legit resources for people in the design field, not Google fonts or hasty web rips with half the amount of glyphs

Thanks!

piracy on fonts is a thing?

For people working in the field yes, especially when some font families cost a lot per variant.

Why tho. There’s for sure an open or at least free one that looks almost the same.

I like nerdfonts. For design, check open source fonts on either gitlab or github. Recently, I came across the work of this person and I really liked it. https://gitlab.com/users/arielmartinperez/projects

Nerdfonts are wonderful, they are my sole source for everything on my terminal(s).

…and I didn’t know about this designer, there’s some solid stuff there, thanks!

I remember once I pirated a pack of something like 100 000 fonts and I stupidly installed all of them and then Photoshop couldn’t change fonts because it would take like 10 minutes to load them in the drop down menu.

Haha, great times! That happened to me as well and then I realized that it’s way better when it’s curated

Vouch however it’s a bit annoying as some of the tike VK asks for you to register but you can only register if you have a Russian phone number. Using another browser or deleting cookies / cache makes it go away for a while

There are some font sharing groups/pages on VK. They often focus on fonts with Cyrillic support for obvious reasons, which I assume requires a certain level of completeness a web rip doesn’t have.

Thanks, I noted that there was some groups active there, I wish it was more curated though
