type tuesday: paid vs free fonts

some people have the need to create.

not want or desire but the 

"you might just keel over and die if you don't" need.

i'm getting used to this whole being a mom thing but

i could tell something was off.

and then it hit me..

i wasn't creating anymore.

so my new goal is to do something creative every day.

and so far it has been like a breath of fresh air and

i couldn't possibly be happier.

so if it's ok with you guys, i want to share some of this

with you guys on this here photography/design blog.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG...

i keep seeing lists all over pinterest and blogs

of free downloadable fonts. which don't get me wrong.. 

fonts and free are both wonderful magical things.

but before you go click happy and download every

free font on the market.. let's get educated on the

difference between free and paid fonts.

FREE FONTS...

PAID FONTS...

Each individual letter is a tiny masterpiece

created by somebody's hard work.

Every single letter is shaped and formed and 

every single letter combination is accounted for.

Most of the time type is overlooked and ignored, 

but now that you know a tiny bit more about it, 

you can start to appreciate it and fall in 

love with it like i have.

[and then want to spend a 80billion dollars on fonts]

Now I know we don't have an endless stash of cash

to blow on beautiful well designed fonts.

And even though you usually get what you pay for,

there are some awesome people out there helping out 

us font loving poor people.
