    Really like Raleway by Matt McInercy above – really nice font – very elegant – and I look forward to using it somewhere.

    Here’s another resource that might help – there are loads of fonts on here that can be used for commercial purposes: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/

    (I’ve no affiliation with them at all, I just use them)

    Really liking the Code and Raleway fonts. I’ve only used @font-face once so I think I’ll check out Font Squirrel to see what they can offer.

    Most of them seem actually useful. There’s something nice about the corners in Prociono. I want to use it somewhere now.

    I also like Bebas and Raleway since they’re quite basic but still stylish.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Too bad several of the fonts are only A-Z.
    International web sites do need special characters and there are less options.

    Font squirrel is the best. But use with caution. font-face causes your text to ‘blink’, looks different on different browsers and should probably be avoided for body text

    It would be great to see a demo of them with @font-face!

    I’m not too sure about the licenses for all the fonts but I could not find the @font-face licensing for ‘ripe’ and ‘kilogram’. I do believe that a commercial license does not automatically allow @font-face embedding. The license needs to be stated explicitly.
