===== Chaloult =====

//Category: Sans-serif//

A font commissioned by the Government of Québec for internal use. Technically not free and you have to ask them for a copy but you may be able to find it on the Internet Archive if you really need it. Useful for titles and text in general.

===== IBM VGA 8x16 =====

//Category: Monospaced, bitmap 8x16//

It's the font you usually get when you start your computer. Very nostalgic.

===== Michroma =====

//Category: Sans-serif//

This one is a rework of Eurostile/Microgramma, which was found everywhere from the Québec Nordiques logo to the door number plates in my middle school. Useful for a kind of retrofuturistic look.

//Category: Sans-serif//

A font commissioned by CBC/Radio-Canada for use on their various media. Also useful for titles and text in general.
