100 Free Fonts You Should Be Using

Fonts can be very tricky when designing for anyone. You can spend hours searching for that perfect font, and you may not even come across it at all!

Canva have done the hardwork for us and discovered 100 free fonts than anyone can start using! Take a look below at what I discovered; I have found some I like too and will try too.

Sans Serif

01. Alegreya Sans by Huerta Tipográfica

Features: humanist design (more organic, calligraphy-inspired, horizontal movement for easy reading); seven weights plus matching italics and small caps.

Great for: advanced typesetting; books and articles.

Find it at: Huerta Tipográfica; download the companion serif version at Font Squirrel.

02. Montserrat by Julieta Ulanovsky

Features: contemporary yet classic design inspired by early 20th-century signage in the Montserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires; recently updated with extra weights (but no italics).

Great for: almost anything; this versatile, clean-lined font is a nice alternative to pricey typefaces like Proxima Nova, Gotham, and Avenir.

Great for: adding a custom look or letter variations to text set in Montserrat.

04. Stilu by Genilson Santos
