8 great fonts to use for your portfolio

At Creative Bloq we’re often asked: What font should I use for my portfolio? But it’s not the easiest question to answer. After all, a font doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it’s only one aspect of the overall design. 

What we can share, though, is some tried and tested fonts that we’ve often seen pro designers use on their portfolios, and point to some current examples of their use. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but more of a prompt to start you thinking about what kind of fonts you might use in your portfolio design, and how.
