Great post, I never thought about the connection that typefaces have with these brands until now.
I like the clean look of Fontin Sans and the Freelance Folder logo.
Keep the good posts coming.

These blogs used the fonts so well they’ve become infused with their very identities. I feel like i’d actually be capturing their souls if I use those fonts now!
