Hello, I�m Mar�a from Uruguay, and I write because I have a problem and I think that you can help me. My teacher recommended me this forum. I�m in first year of Graphic Design and I have to make a project about the new sans typographies I know, and I want to use this:

Corpid, Spiegel, Parisien, Meta, Default Gohtic, Info, Albert

I chose them because they are my favorites, but I know that they are under licensee, and I cant pay for them. I want use them for an academic exercise, not for a commercial way, and I think that maybe you can send me them.
If you think that exist some typography whose isn�t in the list and it can contribute to the project, I be grateful that you send me too.
Thanks a lot for your help, and sorry for my English, because is very basic.
Kisses
Mar�a

Hi Maria,
Just contact the designers of these typefaces!
Explain your situation and I think most of them will send you the samples you need, no problem.

I'd suggest you add Fedra Sans to the list too...

Tell us more about your project, BTW, Maria.
It's hard to recommend something without knowing more about it.

Also, notice that Meta is almost 20 years old (it was originally designed in 1985, IIRC). Corpid, Spiegel and Parisine are more than 5 years old. They aren't so 'new'.

Maria, although you probably won't get people here just sending you the fonts*, many foundries will provide means for people who can't afford to buy all the fonts they admire - which is most people!

* At least I hope not! :-/ Good fonts like those take a lot of work to make and their authors want to make money from the effort, and are afraid copies of the fonts will start "drifting" to potential customers who will end up not buying them.

And I'd also be curious to find out more about the project itself.
