    Its always hard when you are not working at a design firm to have access to wide range of fonts. Back in the days, people would take fonts from work as they were simply files but now they are used via server side font managers.

    I have about 30,000 fonts that I have collected over the years. I have paid about 45% of them. And that 45% is what I have paid for in last 10 years as obtaining fonts were getting easier.

    I would suggest investing in fontbook and use fontbook as your tool to illustrate what type faces work for a particular project. As I have, most people hoard fonts and never use anything else beyond, helvatica, arial, din, futura ....
