Ahh another font roundup… Gotta love these things! I often find myself scouring sites like WantedFonts or DaFont for hours at a time and end up with about 50-100 new fonts and hardly ANY work done. Well, if this sounds familiar, I have taken the searching out of finding some awesome fonts for you to use for titling in your productions! Bold and beautiful, I am sure there is something here for everyone!

Great Collections of Fonts. Thx
Good roundup, thanks, I also think Creampuff is a common one, at least I see it everywhere here in the UK.
Cheers,
Darren
This Post is Fantastic
Topher……You Rock!
topher you have excelled yourself, the queen salutes you.
Great Collection!
Thanks for sharing, and keep up with your unique content.
I just love it!

Great collection of fonts. Very helpful! Thank you very much for this resource.
Really nice!
There are a huge amount of poor typographic craft collected here. So many motion graphic designers have no clue or finesse when it comes to typography, which is such an important part of visual communications. Doesnt matter how many effects you apply if you havent got layout skills or cant do the simplest kerning job. Learn good basic design skills first, it will pay off later when you are able to do minimalistic work that really shines.
I was just about to write that until I saw your post. Spot on!
Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but if you are commenting about my images, and poor kerning and stuff… I actually just entered the fonts the way they came. I didn’t mess with anything, so that readers would see which ones came with weird spacing and such as….

five points for you if you caught the Miss South Carolina reference.
I like them.
Enrico could you point out a few resources on kerning and typographic treatments. You’ve sparked some interest in me to learn more about the proper methods of setting up type. Normally I’d just adjust my type according to eye.
..and yeah, high quality typefaces seldom come for free, like most things in life.
Have a great weekend
yeah, this is true, the high quality stuff is not free, but for people that just want some fun fonts to play around with, and use in some of their productions, they can download them. Some of my favorites are paid fonts that I have, but for the sake of people screaming at me and saying this is useless because I listed an $80 font, this can help those on a penny pincher budget!
I think the saying “there aren’t any bad fonts, only bad designers” applies here. It’s really more of how a typeface is used, its context, and how it’s treated that makes it effective.
That said, a lot of these rank pretty high on the “novelty” factor though… a good typeface doesn’t need a gimmick. I would never find myself using Whoop-ass, Strenuous, Moltors, Final Frontier, Flip Flip and others in work I do.. at least not verbatim (eg Whoop Ass is tracked way too tight for being how heavy it is, etc). But could you do good design with, Whoop-Ass? Maybe, depends on the context… eg a cliche Eddie Murphy-eque film or something however it would take quite a bit more work imo.
I’d say these titles go straight do DVD
Stay away from Dafont, stop stealing sheep and find out how type works.

great post!
Thanks aetutplus!
Font the best, thanks
we enjoyed the fonts. Thanks for the collection.
excellent fonds, thanks
More great fonts?! Do you ever sleep? Thanks Topher, I’m sure I’ll use a bunch of these.
Excellent collection! Good free fonts are hard to find. Thanks.
Great roundup of fonts. Found many that I’ll be able to use.
I scrolled past ‘He’s Dead Jim’ and felt nerdy when I laughed at it. Then I realized that I was already excited about a font round-up article, and decided that I didn’t even need to get the reference to be a total geek.
Fantastic collection! The only thing it’s missing is a ‘download all’ link!
We wanted to put a “Download All” but that would actually violate copyright stuff… even if they are free…
Nice work. Big time saver. Much thanks.
excellent Collection, thanks
They seems better when you show.
Thanx
So Topher doesn’t do anything on This site except p0st roundups?
That’s pretty pathetic considering this is an After Effects TUTORIAL site.
I guess if you can’t make tutorials, stay the hell off the site as you’re bumping the important things down.
Go make a roundup’s website or something in your time gone. I’m sure people will care more
LOL FAIL.
I actually have created tutorials for other sites like Motionwork.com.au, GoMediaZine.com, blog.VideoHive.net, and have posted more than just roundups on this site.
I suggest that you do a little bit more research before trying to bash my reputation. I have been with AEtuts+ since March of 2009, three months after its inception, and you are just now finding something wrong with my writing?
If you don’t like the fact that I like to help out the community fine, but if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all… please.
oh, and I couldn’t agree more about your roundups site idea… maybe you should check out VisualFXtuts.com
Jeez. What a freakin’ idiot.
I can hardly read the comments here at all anymore. Half of them read like they’re from moron 14 year-old’s with an inflated sense of self importance and entitlement, and no manners at all. Grow up people. You’re not that talented.
Thanks Topher for taking the time to put this up.
I very rarely comment on websites and the only reason I am now is because all I can do is express my opinion. I remember when PSDTUTS first began and i’ve been watching the network grow and evolve. I’ve seen the community drop on all of envato’s sites. It appears that the higher the success of a company and the more money it makes the less appreciate people become of what they are actually getting. Think about how many careers these sites could have stemmed, how many projects these tutorials may have saved, or, purely the free education. Not to mention the success of the concept of what envato stands for to the point where there are now copycat sites and communities. Once again all of this is helping people for free – effectively. Makes you wonder how stranded some people would be without them!
If you don’t pay for anything then you have no right to negative comments – and i don’t care what freedom of speech says you still have a duty of care to the site, it’s community and also the profession (all of the creative professions associated).
I find it silly (not the word to describe it) how so many people will revolt against a post when we already know the answer. A lot of people on the tuts sites have become small minded I feel. If you were going to write a tutorial, let alone 5-10 a week (referring in general here) then of course you’re not going to do an amazing job perfecting something that most people get for free – or especially when nothing is good enough any more – 80/20 rule. Envato is an online business! Keep that in mind.
Finished venting… : )
I usually hop between tut sites so I am glad I came across this post as i’m a fine artist and graphic designer. As for the fonts – I used XSCALE for a car company. It is only an AllCaps font but it suited the client perfectly and we were all happy with the projects final outcome. Generally when I’m searching for fonts that I already have thoughts don’t run through my head of “it needs to do this, needs to be serif, needs to have round corners” etc…
Generally I have an idea of what I am after but I can’t see any of the finite details in my head so I choose say 5-10 and then start culling them down – really depends on the project. I’m not pedantic about it and as others have said it depends on the project. Someone mentioned ‘straight to DVD’… I guess all movies should have Trajan Pro then.
HEADLINE looks like it’s out of Spiderman, but i like it. So slightly crooked and curved – makes it look human.
forgot to say thanks…
Great Post, saves everybody time. Thanks!
The sense of entitlement from some of these kids baffles me. You wouldn’t expect someone that’s fishing around for free tutorials to be so self-important, but to be a complete dbag is another story altogether…
Thanks for the roundup, I appreciate the time that went into this (I’ve spent hours doing the same at my job and know it’s a hassle).
Can’t belive League Gothic wasn’t on this, For me, its by far the nicest ffont available for headings/titles.

Wouh! o_o this is unbelive

Why so many complaints?!?!?!
I’ve benefited greatly from Topher’s round up posts. I hope that you continue to post them and I would be happy if you posted even more!! Thank you for posting Topher! You’ve saved me a lot of time!!
it would be nice, if some one could do a
tutorial how to creat font suitcase datas
Fantástico post.
Obrigado.
I downloaded ‘em all
I’m not a big fan of free fonts but there are some nice ones, thanks.
Here is my top 5 fonts that always work http://www.amateurmedia.net/my-top-5-fonts/
I would just like to thank Topher for this post (and the many others). Your work is much appreciated.
As for some of the comments here, this is not YouTube, this is a creative community used by artists from different backgrounds. And certainly one of a higher standard than most. This is not a forum to minimise or castigate anybody else for work that they have shared with us for free. Some graphic designers and typographers may be more knowlegable on typography, but why not ease their frustation by helping the motion graphics artists (as well as others) learn more about typography.
I am a trained animator, and I understand that many other artists use animation in their work occasionally so I am working on a tutorial to help them with the basics, which can be lacking in in their work. Just as many of thise have helped me before. Nobody is an expert in every area.
And this is a community after all.
