The best free fonts can really add to your creative arsenal, offering a rich variety of types for all kinds of projects, from branding to graphic design and personal work. Of course, there are many not so great free fonts out there, and it takes a lot of time and effort to sift through different websites and platforms to find the kind of font you're looking for. We've done just that to make things easier for you, compiling an extensive list of the best free fonts you can find.

We've divided the free fonts below into eight categories to make it easier to find what you're looking for. You can use the quick links to jump straight to the style you're after, from serifs and san serifs to retro fonts and graffiti. The fonts listed are all available immediately without paying a penny (in some cases you might need to provide your email address). Just note that although many are free for both personal and commercial use, some are free fonts for personal use only. We've mentioned the conditions for each at the time of publication, but always double-check the terms because permissions can change.
