As frequent visitors (I know you’re out there!) to our blog know, I have a particular fondness for fonts. I think having a large collection of fonts can spice up your worksheets, newsletters, etc. In my Lovefonts segments, I like to share that love for fonts and help you add to your burgeoning collections so you too can create awesome print material! As I always say, the more fonts you have, the more ways you can show love!
Lovefonts: Linden Hill
From the League of Moveable Type, a great place for free, high quality fonts, comes a very nice font called Linden Hill. According to the site, Linden Hill is:
a digital version of Frederic Goudy’s Deepdene. The package includes roman and italic.
Now, I won’t pretend to understand the history of making a digital version from Deepdene. What I do know is this is a very nice classic looking font. It can be used for more formal letters home, reports, newsletters where you want to have a more serious conversation with the recipient. What I like about it is that you can use in a many areas unlike some fonts where they are limited in where you can use them

This is my favourite font, though linespacing in italics is incorrect and messes with layout, and there’s no boldface. It’s a copy of Goudy’s Deepdene OSF and in the same general ball park as Berkely Old Style, if that helps anyone looking for more of this vibe.
