After creating our first web pages, we inevitably reach a point where we need to change our typeface.

Today, I'm presenting 9 resources to help you go further in exploring these "web fonts."

Free Libraries

Google Fonts

Of course, the most well-known is Google Fonts, which provides a wide selection, all with very simple integration.

If you're just starting out in the world of web development, I recommend going with the simplest option: Google Fonts. Setting it up is really simple and quick.

A tip: You don't need THE perfect typography before launching a project, you can change it later!

Font Squirrel

Font Squirrel stands out because all the fonts offered allow commercial use; here, everything is free and usable for professional or personal projects.

Fontspace

There's a very wide range of typefaces on Fontspace, with many different styles, a good resource for inspiration, and the ability to try out rarely used variations.

1001fonts.com

Link to the website: https://www.1001fonts.com/

Similar to Fontspace, 1001fonts is a typeface library that, for the most part, requires only a personal-use license.

That is, for non-commercial purposes; however, it also has a section specifically dedicated to commercial uses.

Free Tools

Fontjoy

Link to the website: https://fontjoy.com

Perhaps you'd like to explore other possibilities, to try to find your favorite font duo.

Here's Fontjoy, an AI that helps you choose the best font combinations and test them in real time. Very handy for trying out fonts more quickly without going through the integration process and getting an instant preview.

WhatTheFont!

Do you have a reference image and want to find the font(s) used in it? Drag and drop your image into WhatTheFont and the tool will give you the complete list!

Font in Logo

Link to the website: https://www.fontinlogo.com/

If you don't have a reference image but you know a brand or company that uses a font you'd like to find, then Font in Logo will give you the answers to your questions, just with the brand's name!

What about you? Where do you go to find your fonts?
