Hi all, I’m struggling to find a good source of fonts online, where do you find yours?
I’m talking about legit resources for people in the design field, not Google fonts or hasty web rips with half the amount of glyphs
Thanks!

I remember once I pirated a pack of something like 100 000 fonts and I stupidly installed all of them and then Photoshop couldn’t change fonts because it would take like 10 minutes to load them in the drop down menu.
piracy on fonts is a thing?
@pastermil @nameisnotimportant I wish it was moreso. Thanks for the post.
For people working in the field yes, especially when some font families cost a lot per variant.
Why tho. There’s for sure an open or at least free one that looks almost the same.
I can tell you don’t work in the field
I like nerdfonts. For design, check open source fonts on either gitlab or github. Recently, I came across the work of this person and I really liked it. https://gitlab.com/users/arielmartinperez/projects
Nerdfonts are wonderful, they are my sole source for everything on my terminal(s).
…and I didn’t know about this designer, there’s some solid stuff there, thanks!
There are some font sharing groups/pages on VK. They often focus on fonts with Cyrillic support for obvious reasons, which I assume requires a certain level of completeness a web rip doesn’t have.
Google search
site:VK.com “font” "yourfontnamehere"Vouch however it’s a bit annoying as some of the tike VK asks for you to register but you can only register if you have a Russian phone number. Using another browser or deleting cookies / cache makes it go away for a while
Google: Futura ttf GitHub
This little trick works for popular fonts indeed. It might help others
