Decent-looking free fonts

For free fonts that don't make you cringe, check out Font Squirrel. Their goal is to be the best resource for high-quality, commercial-use, free fonts. I'm imagining some guy over there sitting in front of his computer sifting through submissions to find the ones that make the cut. "Barf." "Eeew." "Nasty." "Respectable!" "Barf." If you've seen something lovely somewhere, submit it for the good of humanity.

Infatuated

I got a kick out of Pussycat, a free font available at dafont.com. It comes in Snickers (regular) and Sassy (italic). Though I detest the star on the uppercase "I." Easily remedied by typing a lowercase "i" instead. I used it on the Craft Social graphics (though I probably should have kerned it better. Shhh.)

Desktop wallpapers

When I sat down at my computer this morning, it was -15º F outside. I decided to put Iceland wallpaper on my computer to commemorate this, until I learned that the average winter temperature in Iceland is 31º F. Practically tropical. Heh. Oh well. Get these wallpapers and others here at PokedStudio.
