Over the last seven years working as a pre press designer one request from clients has come up over and over again, “can we have our logo with this text (insert text provided by client) in a college looking font style”. Seriously, It is the number one requested font style at our print shop. As a designer you can spend so much time creating awesome looking concepts for an end of year school top, charity event, pretty much anything, only to have the concept knocked back for a super basic college football looking screen print. Having said that I have put together a tight collection of 25 of the best FREE college fonts to download. These fonts are the perfect accompaniment for college style designs, numbers, and personlised names for sporting tops. These are a guaranteed winner, let me know how you have incorporated these fonts into your designs.
These fonts are presented in no particular order:
