I’ve developed a frenzy for fonts during the recent past. In my blogging career, I’ve always tried to go an extra mile when it comes to make decision about the typography for my blog. I believe that fonts add value to your text. It helps readers to perceive information from the text. The correct choice of color, font and text size can prove to be vital for attracting your target audience.
Fontbundles is one of my all-time favorite font databases. A website which claims to provide to the best of fonts for designing at an incredible price. And trust me, you can hold them to that promise, and you would not be disappointed.
Their individual fonts are amazing. They are all worth each penny from pocket with all the doodle goodness — all those beautiful swashes, ligatures and alternate glyphs can easily make a Graphic Designer drool all over these fonts. Then there are bundles — this is where the magic begins. Each bundle they design is so carefully collated, with fonts that are somehow related to each other via their design purposes, and yet entirely different.

HOW TO INSTALL FONTS ON FONTBUNDLES
Installing a font is super easy on font bundles;
• When you download a font file, be it free or paid, it will arrive in your computer as a .zip file. Most computers will unzip when you double click on a .zip file. If your computer is a little dinosaur you might have to open a decompressing software first, I hope that isn’t the case!
• Once you have unzipped the file you will have a folder with the font in .ttf or .otf format or both. Some will also have a web font option. For print and digital designs, your best option is always .otf. If using the fonts on a website, the choose the web font.
• Install all the font file by double click on the files. They will open together, and you will have a button that says, “install font”, click that, and you’re done. Yes, it’s that easy!
