Good grief, I didn't fully realize how degraded MyFonts has become since Monotype got them. Popups, banner ads, animated nonsense, the works—just awful. Not that I'd seriously consider anything from there, since most if not all of the webfonts can only be rented—no pay-once licenses—but the site is just a trashfire at this point.
Thank god for indie designers/foundries and the amazing free/open-source typefaces out there. Sad to see a formerly good font vendor enshittified like everything else.
