GoodWebFonts.com started as a resource for my web design work and students. The quickest way to connect them with good web fonts was to think “free.” All fonts tested were from Google web fonts and Fontsquirrel.
Times have changed. The number of fonts available at google web fonts seems to grow every day, and typekit offers a wide range of fonts for a reasonable yearly subscription plan.
So it’s time to expand this resource.
In order to post new font recommendations quickly, I’ve reworked the site as a wordpress blog.
Each font has it’s own web font specimen sheet so you can see how the font holds up at various sizes, styles, weights, and so on. Each specimen sheet opens in a new tab so you can view and compare multiple fonts.
I try and identify common information about each font: it’s classification, how many styles it has, and where I first found the font. I can’t promise that the number of styles and source will remain true as time goes by, so you might need to do a little follow-up research. But I hope you find some new fonts to love.
