I’m a poor student, can you send me the fonts you use on your site?

Um…I’m going to have to say no.

Not that I’m entirely unsympathetic, really, I’ve been there. But a typeface, no matter how ubiquitous, is a piece of intellectual property, the creation of which can take months or even years to realize. It is up to the type designer(s) to place a value on that time and you as a fellow designer should support their efforts with what they deem appropriate compensation.
