The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, the first of its kind. That means that you can get the fonts for free (if you don’t respect the designers’ work). In this post I picked a few of their fonts that I found worth noting. The average quality of fonts is very high on their site, so make sure to browse the other fonts too.

A great font inspired by the proportions of the 16th president of the USA. Designed by Frances McLeod.
