dead blog, just for liking stuff

What with bucket hats, bare midriffs, and flared jeans having been resurrected by some irresponsible necromancer with frosted tips, I figure there’s no better time to resurrect some of my favorite Y2K fonts. I typically only see the same three or four pop up in discussions on the subject, so maybe this will be helpful to nostalgic designers. Click though for links.

Golly! That post sure was popular. I’m happy to share some more.

How does this have so many notes?

I try to save resources when I come across them, just in case myself (or someone I know) ends up needing them, and this is one of those collections.

I have not tried all of these, so please let me know if there are any problems.
