This will be dripping with my own opinions (and I’m quite picky). But hopefully it’s at least a consistent taste. If you’ve found just one typeface you loved from this project, it was worth it. 99 | 100 | A secondary goal of this project is to **give credit to the type designers.** Sometimes this isn’t as prominent as it should be on other sites. Give people credit (after all, it’s usually their only form of payment here)! 101 | 102 | ![”They always ask ’what font that’, never ’who font that’”](./img/whofontthat.jpg) 103 | 104 | ### Similar projects 105 | 106 | If you’d like to discover other typeface collections such as these, check out: 107 | 108 | - [Open Foundry](https://open-foundry.com) 109 | - [Beautiful Web Type](https://beautifulwebtype.com/) 110 | - [chriscoyier/coding-fonts](https://github.com/chriscoyier/coding-fonts) 111 | - [Fontsource](https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource) 112 | 113 | _Note: I’m not associated with any of the following_ 114 | 115 | ### How did you find all these typefaces? 116 | 117 | Various sources and newsletters, including Twitter.
