Looking for a nice, somewhat fancy sans serif font?

Today as I was catching up with the Linux Mint Forums I saw a thread about the Mint Spirit fonts. I’m always on the lookout for a new font to use, and when I looked at the preview PDF (which is in French but that shouldn’t be a problem regardless of which languages you speak) I found a very nice font. The font is available in both the standard TrueType Collection (TTC) and  Opentype PS outlines (OTF) formats and they’re both in the single ZIP file you can download. One of the best parts? All of the fonts from Arkandis Digital Foundry (ADF) are free.

As soon as I saw how Mint Spirit font looks I thought I might have a new default font style to use on my system but after changing all of the font settings to use Mint Spirit I realize it may not be perfect for everything, but I love it for my window titlebars. I’ll just have to take some time and decide how many other classes of fonts on my Linux Mint Debian Edition + KDE system the font works for.

You can download Mint Spirit, as well as all of the  ADF fonts and preview PDF files, on the ADF Fonts page. Please note: The Mint Spirit font is a personal project of the designer and is neither supported nor sponsored by the Linux Mint team.
