I hate sites that pretend to give you something for free and then end upo being commercial. I chose 3 fonts I liked on this site and every time it told me I coulod download itr for $10.
Even if I loved the font I wouldn't buy from them out of principle. They maybe should be called 1001cheapfonts.com and I maybe wouldn't get on my soapbox.

You are clicking the wrong ones.  they have a HUGE library of totally free fonts. I always go there for a new font...such a great variety.
