Ever wondered why some of your friends have mix CD cases that look much better than yours? A lot of it has to do with their fancy fonts.

Dafont.com is my personal favorite free font website. There are a lot of options and some of them are just silly, but among the plethora of over-embellished graffiti letters there are some real gems. Take an hour while enjoying some VH1 Celebreality to browse all the options and download your favorites and you’ll be whipping out snazzy invites in no time.

How to install your new font on your Mac:
Inside your Library folder is a folder called fonts. After you have downloaded the font you want, drag and drop the .TTF file into the font folder. The next time you open Word, Photoshop, or the like your new font(s) will appear as an option in your font menu.

How to install your new font on your PC:
Open the start menu, go to settings, then control panel, then the fonts directory; in the fonts directory go to the file menu and click “install new font.” Choose the font(s) you downloaded. The next time you open Word, Photoshop, or the like your new font(s) will appear as an option in your font menu.

Whatthefont.com lets you copy and paste a font you’re lovin’ and helps you to identify it–a great cross reference tool to use with dafont.com!

Dear Author omfgstyle.com !
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. Let’s discuss it.
