Linky Party - Free and Fabulous Fonts


It is no secret that I love new and different (and of course FREE) fonts!  You may remember the post I did a couple weeks ago about some of my favorites.  Some of you even emailed me your favorites too, which was totally awesome.  I collect fonts. I must have over a hundred that didn't come with my office programs. Each font has been used for something in my classroom. Perhaps a bulletin board title, class newsletter, my blog (this font is called Coming Soon), letters home regarding special occasions or class functions and of course any registration forms I have to do for school for the wide variety of programs we offer and I oversee.  They are an easy way to jazz up printouts for students and other things. It isn't odd to hear one of my students comment that they really like a font that I've used and ask if we can add it to their computers. Which I of course will do. :-)


Anyway, after receiving some great suggestions from some of you, it occurred to me that I should host my very first Linky Party specializing in Free Fonts! Here are a few of my other favorites that I haven't told you about before.  Click on the picture to be brought to the website where you can download it too!

I could go on for awhile but I'll stop for now. But I may add some more later.  



So here is your chance to share your favorite font or fonts that you've have downloaded for free.


Here's what to do:



  1. Save my blank laptop jpg above as an image on your computer. 
  2. Open your favorite program to edit images and insert a textbox on the laptop image screen.  
  3. Type the NAME of your favorite font in THAT font.  (see mine above)
  4. Save it and add it as an image to your blog post.
  5. Write a quick post about your free font....it can be why you like it, what you use it for....anything you want to see.  
  6. Add a link to your font image directing us to where we can easily download that same font.  
  7. Be sure to copy my Free and Fabulous Linky Party Image to your blog post to and link it back to me.  
And while we are at it, I've decided to create a Pinterest board of all our fonts.  So leave me a comment below with your Pinterest link below so I can add you as a collaborator to the board.

  2. I linked up a font I quite like... I teach middle school, so it isn't quite as cute as many of the teacher fonts are. My pinterest account... I ought to know that! LOL Try looking me up under "Madame Aiello." I'm so new to this stuff.
