10 of My Favorite Free Fonts

Fonts. There are so many fonts out there, and it can be overwhelming. To the untrained eye, they may all look the same. You’ll have to check out my post, What the Font, to read up on the difference between the different types.

I lean heavily towards a love of san-serif fonts, but I also show some love to the serifs.

Today, I’m going to show you ten of my favorite fonts that are FREE for commercial use. According to developers.google.com/fonts, the fonts on fonts.google.com are released under open source licenses. You can use them for any of your commercial (covers, branding, teaser graphics) or non-commercial projects.
