Are you struggling to find that particular typeface that matches your creative vision? Then you’ve come to the right place!

We know that finding high-quality fonts can be a challenging and time-consuming task. That’s why we’ve taken care of the search for you. With a collection of over 100 free fonts, chosen specifically for designers and creatives, we are confident that you’ll find one, if not several, that meets your needs. These fonts are exactly what you’ve been searching for!

Designers tend to use a variety of fonts depending on the project’s purpose and style. Here are the most common types of fonts that designers like to use:

  • Serif fonts have small lines or flourishes at the ends of their letters, giving them a more traditional or classic look. They’re often used for print designs, including books, magazines, and newspapers.
  • Sans-serif fonts are clean, modern, and easy to read. They’re commonly used for digital designs, including websites and mobile apps.
  • Slab serif fonts have thick, block-like serifs at the ends of their letters, giving them a bold appearance. They’re used for display purposes like headlines, titles, and logos.
  • Geometric fonts feature clean, simple shapes based on geometric forms, and are commonly used for modern, minimalist designs.
  • Monospaced fonts have equal spacing between characters, making them ideal for coding, programming, and technical designs.

Ultimately, the choice of font depends on the project’s purpose and the designer’s creative vision. By choosing the right font, designers can create designs that are aesthetically pleasing, easy to read, engaging, and ideally suited for their intended audience.

This collection showcases clean and distinctive fonts that have been designed to give your designs a professional and highly legible look, whether in digital or print formats. Our selection also only features fonts that prioritize functionality over ornamentation, as we have already covered ornate styles in previous collections.


Serif Fonts

Serif fonts are defined by the small lines (or decorative features) that trail from the edges of each letter and number. As serif fonts are considered easier to read, they’re typically used in print design as the characters are clearer and more distinctive, making it much easier for our brains to process.

Like Slab Serifs (see further down), there are always exceptions to the rule. Most Serifs will work perfectly well as a title or headline on the web, and some, as you will see by the selection of erif fonts below, will even work beautifully as body text, but please do choose your web typography carefully.

Bitter HT Serif

Bitter HT is a modern take on slab serif typefaces.
