This week I&#8217;ve rounded up five of my favorite free fonts from around the web.</p><p>1. <a href="http://www.exljbris.com/museosans.html" target="_blank">MUSEO SANS</a>. This has to be my number one favorite free typeface, as it&#8217;s seriously versatile. It works for display type as well as body copy, and even translates into the web. I use it all over <a href="http://www.pinegateroad.com" target="_blank">my blog</a>; it&#8217;s tried and true!</p><p>2. <a href="http://www.losttype.com/font/?name=lavanderia" target="_blank">LAVENDERIA</a>. This is a fun little script typeface brought to you by a favorite source of mine for free typography, <a href="http://losttype.com/" target="_blank">Lost Type Co.</a></p><p>3. <a href="http://www.losttype.com/font/?name=blanch" target="_blank">BLANCH</a>. It always comes in handy to have a typeface to use when it&#8217;s a tight squeeze. Also by Lost Type Co., Blanch is a little quirky and fun, but definitely still serious.</p><p>4. <a href="http://www.fontspring.com/fonts/hoftype/sina-nova" target="_blank">SINA NOVA</a>. This traditional serif typeface is a little more fun and modern than your standard Times. This is available for free in it&#8217;s regular weight, and would be great for body copy on a more traditional piece.</p><p>5. <a href="http://fontfabric.com/silverfake-free-font/" target="_blank">SILVER FAKE</a>. Who doesn&#8217;t love a good wood-type revival? This typeface works in the opposite direction as Blanch, and fits into places that are more wide than they are tall. It&#8217;s a great display type for when you feel a little retro. Watch your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning" target="_blank">kerning</a> (type-nerd speak for the space between each letter) on this one though folks!</p><p>I hope that you enjoyed this round-up!

Each large format photograph, pictures an arrangement of title pages and spines, from up to 100 self-help books that are based around a central theme. Together, the titles create larger narratives, which become portraits of emotions, people and events in life.&#8221;</p><p><a href="http://static.designformankind.com/images/2012/05/pile-of-self-help-books-1-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-27897" title="pile of self help books" src="http://static.designformankind.com/images/2012/05/pile-of-self-help-books-1-3-412x481.jpg" alt="pile of self help books" width="412" height="481" /></a></p><p>What an interesting study, and how awesome would these prints look in an office or library?
