Display Fonts That You Can Download & Use For Free
Anurati – A Free Futuristic Display Font
Well, this one is realy, really nice in our opinion. Anurati font was designed by Emmeran Richard based in Toulouse, France. In the matter of fact he also designed another great font – Blanka that you may have seen already. Accordingly to Emmeran this font was initially created for his own website. We’re not sure why he actually used it or not, but man, we’re so glad he released it to the public. Thank you so much for this. We were actually in look for contemporary, sans-serif and futuristic font like that a while for our side project and baaaam, we found Anurati. Getting to the point. Naturally as you know now you can download Anurati for free and use it both – for both personal and commercial projects. Enjoy!
And don’t hesitate to let Emmeran Richard know when you design something amazing with the font.
