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

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.
