This article is all about fonts. We’ve previously mentioned some very useful resources in a previous article. However, now we’ll focus exclusively on fonts. Why? Well, because we need them, and there are never too many resources from you can steal some inspiration.

Let’s dive in some amazing websites from where you can download free fonts for your current project!

1. Google Fonts

We talked before about Google Fonts in a previous article. However, we find it very useful, and worth mentioning again. Google Fonts is an amazing tool for a front end developer. But not necessarily, you can use it in any project you have. They provide amazing fonts and most noteworthy, they are displayed in such manner that you can find anything you want in a heartbeat. Best advantage? It’s free.

2. Font Squirrel

Font Squirrel is maybe one of the funniest name a font dedicated website can have. But their fonts are very professional! They are free, which mean you can use them for commercial use. However, they strongly suggest you verify the licence of the font you want to use. Moreover, they already verified the licences, but what’s sure is sure. Therefore, please double check! And read their terms before using.

You can access them here. Other advantages would be: you can download a guide for beginners, you have a font list where you can search your favourite, you can filter them and they offer alternatives for all languages you can think of! 

3. Dafont

Dafont is a great alternative. You download the font you want to use, install it and you’re good to go. They also have a pretty cool menu at the beginning of the page where you can choose the style. It starts from Fancy fonts, Foreign Look, Techno, Bitmap, Gothic, Basic and many more!

Therefore, it is really useful when you don’t know exactly what you want. Just think about what your project style is and give them a shot. The categories are well defined and you can find everything you need! Check them and tell us what you think! Oh, and they’re free.

4. Urban Fonts

2402 pages of fonts. Is this enough of a review? Well, moving aside from the obvious variety of fonts, they provide free fonts and premium fonts! Also, you have a pretty vast variety of categories for different styles you want to base your project on.

Moreover, you can also find there a section named “Free Dingbats” from where you can download some great icons. We can go even further to the “Deals” section. There you have some awesome packages containing different designs and fonts that might come handy. Definitely worth checking!

5. Handmade Fonts

Handmade Font is for your creative self. Let’s say you have a different type of project where you’d like to use some animations or even videos. Well, this website is your go-to! They provide a wide variety of fonts. First you have Handcrafted fonts, which are absolutely gorgeous.

Then you dive into animated fonts, which you can use in video materials. Finally, they provide materials from their collaborators so you never run out of options! The only inconvenience is that this is not a free resource. It can get a bit expensive. However, we’re sure you won’t regret buying them!

Bonus Tool!

FontDatabase

As a bonus, we like to give you tips about some great resources. Staying in the font family, Product Hunt provided a great tool for a designer. They call themselves “A designer’s right hand”. It’s called FontDatabase. This is when you kinda know what you want, but it’s not exactly that. Do you follow me? Best check out the website here.
