In my pursuit of purchasing a new typefaces, I never do so without paying a short visit to a foundry's freebie area. While most quality typefaces need to be paid for, sometimes, free typefaces find their way into my font collection, either because they're marvelously beautiful — or, because they allow for me to experiment.
Anyway, I have selected a few fonts (it is a good idea to read the license agreements for each of these releases) that I really like and have put on display below. At the very bottom of the article, you'll find the links to some of these foundries as they offer quite a few fluffy typefaces for free that I have not listed.

I really like dafont.com too. I think most of the fonts I use came from there.
