VISA FREE FONTS

�Ja, ja, ja!

I know�
Trust me, I'd rather buy them, the thing is I am totally broken (french graphic designer) for now.
I very much respect the work of typographs though.
But it's too expensive for me actually�
I am sorry, I just wanted to give it a try, in case somebody could help me. No problem

Do u think I can directly ask the Designers of these fonts if I can use them, telling them I am going to mention their name and/or foundries as well as font names?
Do you think I can do that, or that's totally ridiculous?

Hey, I have a similar question.. I'm doing this poster, and the client requested DIN 'or something similar'. I've tried DIN and it looks pretty sweet, but it's so incredibly overused right now to the point of being ridiculous.

It looks like I'll be using the uppercase letters only. Any suggestions? Oh, and I would be willing to make a purchase.

You totally have to try ClearviewOne (http://www.terminaldesign.com), it's really sweet
or Malm� (http://www.fountain.nu) <- FABULOUS.
I used to use Din a lot too, but only the uppercases, the lower cases are not that good, and yeah I agree it's totally over used. But check out these fonts, I just mentioned, the uppercases AND lowercases are just beautiful.
You're a happy man if u purchase them ;-)

I don't know if you philes have seen it already but doesn't [edited by moderator] look too similar (for not to say identical) to Spiekermann's ITC Officina Sans?

Ain't it somewhat illegal? But as long as this rip is up there we have to admit that it's still possible to find decent type from there...

I'll bare it on my mind -- sorry & thanks -- for those real free ones you mentioned above.
