I love the open shapes and how the designer used the principle of closure to create this awesome typeface. I could definitely see this used in a logo or on neon signage, for its linear properties.

Hallo Sans

Hallos Sans: Best New Free Fonts

The formation of this typeface is excellent. The designer could have used straight lines in this font, but what works so well is the curvilinear structure of the overall typeface. I think it works so well because it is big and bold.

Margot by Adrià Gómez

Best New Free Fonts 2014: Margot

I like Margot, because of the subtleties of its structure. It doesn’t go so much for impact, but relies on subtle indentations and rounded corners to make it look great. Download Note* – The way this works is that you will be taken to a section that looks like you have to pay. then, you enter your email address and “0” as the amount and it will change to a download link and you can get Margot for free.
