Is this legit, free fonts?
Last night I was looking for a font. Called bounce from letterhead fonts.
I came across this site ??? and they are offering letterhead fonts for free.
These are expensive fonts how can they offer them for free?. There has to be a catch.
Has anyone had experience with this site.
Thanks in advance

no catch, but definitely not legit fonts. probably scanned, traced, and remade into fonts.

Charles Borges de Oliveira is a professional type/font designer and a member here at S101, who supports his family with the royalties from his font sales.
"Bounce" is one of his fonts. How do you feel about not paying him what he rightfully earned?

Hi Rex,
I don't care if he was Donald Trump. Stealing something that is not yours is stealing. No matter who you are.
(I am happy he is a member here and has a family) but that does not change the fact that theft is taking something that does not belong to you.
Right up there with stealing a song that you did not purchase.
The same if someone takes my design and makes a sign out of it without my permission. (Has happened before, and it sucks.)
I was asking is the site is paying for the fonts through advertisement. Hence is this site legit.
If it is not paying for the fonts I think these sites should be taken off of the Internet. Or taken to court for theft.
I am a big fan of letterhead fonts. Have quite a few that I purchased. I love the site do not want to see it go away. Sites like the one I mentioned if they are not legit will hert sites like letterhead fonts.
I am also a big fan of signfonts.com and DNA fonts. Which I have purchased from all of these sites.
I hope that answers your question.
How do you feel about taking something that is not yours?

I feel the same way JR's

****fonts.com, lol. Didn't expect them to be so upfront about it. Maybe stolenfonts.com or counterfeitfonts.com domains were taken.

I agree wholeheartedly, but how many people do you think are gonna go there, now that it's been made somewhat public and take them regardless of how we all feel about stealing ??


If there's a way to hide that link, I'd remove it, so we aren't party to having others help themselves.

It still shows up where S'Rex quoted you. He needs to delete it also.

also, even though you edited the text, the link is still correctly going to the site
