First of all, the site looks very clean, and modern to me. Because of its well-structured, it really helps you choosing the right font easily. On the top part of the site, you can see all categories of fonts in alphabetical order. Mouse over the category text, you can get a preview of the font, it can really saves you a lot of time.

The large previews will be updated immediately.

If you still find it hard to use, you can use the tag cloud on the right hand side. The “Top 100 Fonts” is also very useful. It is an automatic list of the most downloaded fonts on Urbanfonts, so that you can have an idea of what other people like.
