Way back in 1994, the dawn of the web era, Fonthead was born. The first font collection was created and then advertised alongside a free font that was posted to the now defunct(?) Info-Mac FTP servers. Two years later our first real website went up.

Our site has undergone a few revisions. The latest round was in the works for a very long time. I am quite glad to have the bulk of it behind me! Enjoy the trip down memory lane…

This post was inspired by this post at Veerle’s Blog.

A new book called Free Font Index is being published in January 2009 and will feature some of our free fonts. The author, Hans Lijklema, forwarded me some spreads from the book.

This makes me feel like I should get back to making some freeware. It has been a very long time since I last released a free font.
