hello, friends! my latest font affair has been with serif, sans serif and fixed-width fonts. i just love them! i’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but i’m beginning to see many blogs starting to stray away from using lots of fancy fonts to using more basic ones with a few fancier ones mixed in as accents. this gives the posts a more editorial, magazine-like feel. to help you get a jump start on the trend, look no further. a font affair- sans serif edition saves the day! :)

below you’ll find links to each font, and as usual all are free!
