Free (Quality!) Font Resources

Below are 5 websites that offer stunning typefaces for free. I like typefaces that offer more than just one font in the family which allow for more flexibility when using them in a project. I just downloaded Quaver (included sans & serif versions), Ostrich (6 weights & styles) and Steelfish (7 free weights!) and hope to use them soon.
