About

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.
