Good fonts are as important to me as quality photos and great food. I may have a mild obsession—my current font collection sits at 816—and I’m happy to share some of my favorite free fonts right now. Below you’ll find a curated list of versatile, well-designed typefaces that work beautifully for web and print projects.
Here are the fonts I’m enjoying right now:
1. bira // 2. blockography // 3. equal sans // 4. Grand Hotel // 5. Levitee
6. MankSans Medium // 7. Ness // 8. Nixie One // 9. Quickier // 10. Riddle
Plus: Harold’s Pips (a dingbat set — H = heart)
I’ve written about my love of fonts before in a short series called Confessions of a Fontaholic, and I plan to bring that series back in the new year. I’ll share the fonts I use on some of my favorite printables, tips for pairing typefaces, and practical ways to use fonts effectively in layouts.
If you’re unsure how to install fonts on your computer, there are clear tutorials available that walk through the process for different operating systems. Installing fonts is straightforward once you know where to place the files and how to activate them in your applications.
