This three-weight font type is brought to you by the folks at Fontfabric. Designer Svetoslav Simov, who is based in Sofia, Bulgaria, founded the independent type foundry back in 2008. Every week, a typeface is rolled out of production and is put up on the site to download absolutely free. Rex is one of those fonts, designed in three weights: light, bold and bold inline. It’s a caps font, but there is a difference between both caps and small caps, which can be seen in the examples on the website. It's available for both personal and commercial use.

86. Haymaker

Designer Trevor Baum created this vintage-inspired typeface. Proclaiming a love of bicycles, type and Jewish delis, Trevor wanted to create a font that was both rugged and refined, and we think he's got the balance spot on. The inspiration for the typography design came from the workmanship, lettering and baseball jerseys of the 1930s and 1940s. The font comes in uppercase, lowercase, numerals and also contains punctuation.

87. Carton

Here's another awesome find on Lost Type, the typography co-op that ensures its designers receive 100 per cent of the donations given for their fonts. This time, the typeface comes from talented Newcastle based graphic designer Nick McCosker. It only comes in upper case but we think that's all a typeface of this kind needs. It's immediately striking to the eye and will work really well with any titled-based designs; possibly less so in body text.

88. Josefin Sans & Slab

Santiago Orozco created this typeface, with the goal of making it geometric, elegant and kind of vintage - especially for titling. It's based on Rudolf Koch's Kabel (1927), Rudolf Wolf's Memphis (1930) and Paul Renner's Futura (1927). The x-height is half way from baseline to caps height, unlike any other modern typeface. Santiago wanted to do something different with the ampersand, so he made three and will include them in later versions of the Josefin Sans. It took Santiago around a month to draw the total of 373 glyphs.

89. Nevis

Nevis is another fantastic typeface brought to you by Ed Merritt of Ten by Twenty. The website description is spot on: "Nevis is a strong, angular typeface and is ideal for headings, text, buttons and everything in between. It's assertive and bold, but manages to retain a friendly tone, and looks especially good when used in all caps." The font can be used for both personal and commercial purposes but it cannot be redistributed or sold. Although you can download the font for free, Ten by Twenty say they always appreciate a donation, however small. If you can't do that, a link back to the site is hugely appreciated!

90. PLSTK

This font was created by Christian del Moral and Luis Armesilla. Both Madrid-based designers, Luis mainly focuses on motion and graphic design, but has a special interest in typography and lettering. Christian is heavily influenced by music and tends to illustrate in a child-like old school way. The designers are happy for you to use the font in any way that you wish. All they ask is that you send them an image of your work once you're done with it! Take a look at this awesome video the guys created to showcase PLSTK's capabilities.

91. Abraham Lincoln

There are no vampire hunters in sight, we're afraid; just an awesome font created by designer Frances MacLeod. Originally from Wichita, Kansas, Frances creates stunning typography and has worked with book covers, leaflets, posters and more.

She created this Abraham Lincoln font to resolve a constant search for a condensed serif. The promotional specimen featurrs the font in use and folds out to a poster of Abraham Lincoln's address to the 166th Ohio Regiment in 1864 on the reverse. You can see the examples on herpersonal website.

FORMAT: TTF

92. Fat Frank

Fat Frank is a fun typographic design from graphic designer, illustrator and typographer Jeff Schreiber. The font is a big-boned and funky font with all digits, some diacritical marks, most punctuation marks and money signs that matter. Jeff also states that those who use this in Photoshop should make sure that the kerning is set to 'Metrics' not 'Optical', otherwise the kerning doesn't work. You'll find it in the Character window. We think Fat Frank would look stunning on print design - especially titles. It may be a bit too chunky for normal body text.

FORMAT: TTF

93. Ostrich Sans

And finally, we have this superb typeface created by New Yorker Tyler Finck. Tyler has created a number of fonts and regularly allows designers to download them for free. He describes Ostrich Sans as an open source font family that he's very happy to offer for free from The League of Moveable Type. The typeface comes in six styles, including Sans Light, Sans Regular, Sans Bold and Sans Rounded. It only comes in caps but we think that it's the perfect font to make an instant impact.

100. Accent

Brazilian graphic designer Nelson Balaban is known for his outlandish style and fun approach to typography. Accent is just one example of his exemplary work that has been featured in many editorial and commercial campaigns. On first impression, Accent could look a tad on the hipster side but we love it and we think you should too. If you end up using the font, all Nelson asks is that you don't alter it, give credit where it's due and use it to create some "kick-ass work". Off you go then!

We at Creative Bloq love a blast from the past and this Henry font couldn't be more retro if it tried. Created by Polish graphic designerMarta Podkowi?ska, the font was named after Henry Ford and inspired by all things '60s. Marta mainly cites the fonts major influence from vintage cars, which can be seen in its glorious curvature. Although the font only comes in upper case, we think it would be perfect for headings and titles, and a great chance to test your design abilities.

107. Metropolis

It's no wonder this font has become so popular, thanks to its modern twist on a vintage style. Designed by Australian graphic designer Josip Kelava, Metropolis is influenced by the industrial movement of the 1920s. Kelava wanted to create his own Art Deco font without being too much of a copycat. The result was this bold and daring typeface, perfect for catching your user's eye. It only comes as capital letters, so it won't be relevant for set body text. It does however, look amazing on a poster or homepage!

FORMAT: OTF

108. Alphageometry

Since we've given you plenty of upper case fonts, we thought we'd delve a little deeper and focus on the little guys. Alphageometry is a set of simple yet effective decorative typefaces created by Canadian designerMarkie Darkie (aka Ferdinand Mark Basa.) Letterforms were designed using simple geometric shapes in a 10x10 square grid structure guide. Please note that the font is in vector format, which means each letterform will need to be hand set and composed. Who knew lower case letters could be so powerful?

FORMAT: EPS and Ai

109. GRN Burgy

Created by Italian designer Marco Goran Romano, GRN Burgy is a fun take on early American graffiti. Another big influence on the font is fast food culture, which is reiterated in the 'shiny' effects used. If you don't want to take yourself too seriously, have a go with GRN Burgy. The direct lines combined with extreme curves makes the font ooze creativity. GRN Burgy only comes in capital letters, so it's only really useful for titles and headings on homepages or posters.
