Fonce Sans is an all-original sans serif typeface which I spent several months designing. Since August of 2005, I have been releasing screenshots and demos of the typeface to get feedback, and I believe I am at the point where I can release the face to everybody.
The typeface includes old style (hanging) numbers, a ton of english and non-english lettering, some additional symbols, complete punctuation, and more stuff I doubt anyone will need (but hey, it's there).
What did I change since the last release? X-height is adjusted a bit more, some numbers have slight tweaks, the weight on the question mark and some other glyphs has been adjusted, and I've added more symbols. No more updates unless I do major changes.
Download the Zip, inside which is an OTF file. OTF (open typeface) is cross-platform, so PC users shouldn't have trouble.
Recent Update: I've added better inherent kerning metrics to the typeface, adjusted some letterforms like m, n, a, b, d, c, e, o, h, i, j, y, x, s, t, l, g, p, q, and more. These updates are tiny but important, and based upon some suggestions from Doyald Young, Leah Hofmitz, and Chesley Nassaney. If you know who Doyald Young is you get a cookie. Anyway, I would suggest downloading the new version if you want to stick with what I feel is the best final look for the typeface. Oh, and thanks for all of the downloads, comments, favs, and thanks for the DD!

Fonce Sans Regular by $liquisoft will make you sexy, well groomed and desirable to members of the opposite sex. I promise. (Suggested by ^lemontea and Featured by +ekud)
Really nice font! Great for just about anything!
Youve done a really nice job and its great to see all the characters that so many people dont include these days!
thank you, thank you, thank you. fantastic work, and quite generous to offer it free of charge. I imagine that this font commercialy would have a heafty price tag. congrats!!
In all honesty, if I sold it through Linotype it'd probably cost $22 by itself.
I considered selling it, as you probably know, but ultimately I'd prefer people actually get to use it.

The Public is more Familiar with Bad Design than Good Design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer Bad Design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes Threatening, the Old Reassuring.

I found more that could be included, but as far as I can tell they're only used in Latin.

Next font will probably be a pixel (screen) font. Again, it'll be one that reads really well. After that, I suspect my next mission will be to cut a lighter weight of Fonce. Thinner typefaces always look so much more sophisticated.

Please, not a pixel font. Personally, I think they're now getting to the stage where they're a bit overused and yet, they can only be used in certain cases. They're not really an all round font which bugs me a little.
A lighter weight of Fonce would be great. I agree with you that they look more sophisticated for some reason, but perhaps that's just because we're so used to seeing the overuse of the infamous Helvetica Neue Ultra Light?
