Hello.

I am needing P2L's help here, I am crap at choosing things like fonts, I have crawled through Dafont and many other font sites, yet I can't find the ones I really want.

I want clean neat ones for signatures and also web banners and images.

Any direct links would be appreiciated.

LOL! Well you don't get much better or complete as dafont.com

If you can't find what you want there... you're screwed lol!

I also use http://www.1001freefonts.com

Thanks Faken, I always new about Dafont but I spent hours looking through pages and not finding anything that really suited my 'work'

Bout 5 years ago i started to show interest in the importance of fonts, if you tell me what your "work" is i will give you my idea, and you can judge then if you agree or not.

There's a solution to that... stop being so picky.

Thanks man, I am looking for plain fonts which look clean, but also some really fancy technical ones.

You see you say that now, but when you come to reviewing my work your going to be 'aww that font is shit why don't you look' therfore if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't post. I made this thread for suggestions to try and increase my text effects on work like banners and animation.

Let me rephrase myself:
Is it for print or for web?
Is ir for party or funeral?
Official, friends, promotional, etc... ?
Little flyer, or a whole book?
Are they gonna be pictures or just lot of text?
Few or many titles?
Only lettres, or also a lot of numbers?

I think you get my drift here... a little more info would be helpfull.
If you dont wanna broadcast everything, just pm me !

Dan, you're giving us such a large criteria that it's pointless for us to guess what suits your work. There are thousands of fonts that are "plain" and "clean." You need to be much more specific if you want a good answer.

[DanWilliamson]

Yeah, I tend not too give too much information in questios :s

What I need, is a clean crisp font for things like professional web banners.

[Scythar]

I give up...
When i have the time i put here some basic rules, but i cant help choosing the font itself that way.

Sorry Dan, but that description wasn't any more specific than the first one you gave. Again, there are thousands of fonts that fit that criteria. Either be more specific or just go on www.dafont.com and choose any one of those thousands of fonts.
