Sans-Serif fonts are the most popular font types in graphic design right now. Sans-Serif fonts are minimalistic, simple and modern.
Fonts can range anywhere from $50 to $200 dollars, but some super nice companies make their fonts free. Here are the best five Sans-Serif fonts on the internet for free right now.
5. ACHERUS GROTESQUE- Available on fontsquirrel.com
“Acherus Grotesque is a rounded sans serif type family based on geometric forms. It comes in 16 styles, 8 uprights and matching italics.
Each weight includes extended language support, ligatures and more. Acherus Grotesque is incredibly useful for nearly any creative design.”
I love the rounded shapes on the letter forms of Acherus Grotesque. This font also comes with a full set of numbers and special characters, and they don’t look stupid. If you're a frequent free font user you know that sometimes designers seem to put no thought into numbers or special characters.
4. Oxanium- Available on Googlefonts.com
“Oxanium is a square, futuristic font family. It feels at home on the head-up display of a spaceship, or the scoreboard of a video game. Its intuitive strokes ensure legibility at small sizes and quick glances, while angled cuts add charisma to big headlines.”
This font is so fun, the letter forms being squared off really make this font look unique. This font gives off futuristic space vibes and would work really well in any project advertising a new ground breaking product, or anything to do with space really.
3. Lexend Exa- Available on Googlefonts.com
“Lexend is a collection of seven font families intended to improve reading proficiency. As prescription eyeglasses achieve proficiency for persons with short-sightedness, Lexend's families were developed using Shaver-Troup Formulations.”
This font is so easy to read, it would be great to use on posters because the font is easy to read from far away. I love the spacing on this font, it makes it unique.
2. RALEWAY- Available on Fontsquirrel.com
“Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface family. Initially designed by Matt McInerney as a single thin weight, it was expanded into a 9 weight family by Pablo Impallari and Rodrigo Fuenzalida in 2012 and iKerned by Igino Marini.
It is a display face and the download features both old style and lining numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired default character set”
I love the way the W lines intersect each other on this font. The numbers go really well with the letter forms which like I explained before can be tricky when using a free font.
1. HK Grotesk- Available On fontsquirrel.com
“HK Grotesk is a sans serif typeface inspired from the classical grotesques. The goal in designing HK Grotesk is to create a more friendly and distinguishable typeface that is suitable for small text. HK Grotesk may be used in personal and commercial projects.”
I love grotesque style Sans-Serif fonts. Sometimes it can be hard to find a font style that looks good small but HK Grotesk looks very good small. This font comes in 10 different weights, which is a lot for a free font.
Fonts can get expensive fast, luckily there are some good free options. Let me know what your favorite free fonts are in the comments below.
