Before Searching For Free Fonts Online, You Should Know Your Font Types

There are 2 fonts extensions widely used: OTF and TTF.

TTF stands for TrueType Font, a relatively older font, while OTF stands for OpenType Font, which was based in part on the TrueType standard.

Where Can I Find Free Fonts Online?

You can download both OTF and TTF formats from FontSquirrel. The platform also has paid ones that you can purchase. FontSquirrel also supports multiple languages!

Where Can I Get Premium Fonts From?

1. FontFont

You will find a high volume of quality typefaces that they have available for purchase. Everything is here, from clean sans-serifs to crazy display fonts.

On FontSpring you can purchase typefaces per-weight (as opposed to full-families only). This makes FontSpring a great choice for designers on a budget.

3. MyFonts

On MyFonts, with every font, you will find relevant images where the font is used and looks good. This gives an amazing insight on where you can use them, i.e. whether a particular font would look good as a heading or as a paragraph.

4. Veer

Not a big fan of Veer because their site interface makes finding the font you’re after a little more difficult than it has to be. However, Veer has a beautiful collection of over 12,000 typefaces that start at $10.
