An Unexpected Font Resource: Pinterest

Most of the time, Pinterest is a happy mish-mash of clothing, wedding planning, gadgetry, home decor, and humor. But, as I recently discovered, there are also pinners sharing their favorite fonts–it’s a fairly well-hidden resource for not only the crafters and bloggers among us, but for us webdesigners, too!

Below is a selection of free fonts I’ve discovered through Pinterest thus far:

Browsing the Humor Section on Pinterest (Yes, It Exists)

Contrary to popular belief, Pinterest is not just a pictorial haven for wedding planning, DIY projects, crafts, and beauty tutorials. It also boasts a fairly robust humor section, which most casual users may not know about. People have pinned a variety of hilarious images from hundreds of websites–here is a small selection (read to the end for the “Piece de Resistance”):
