The best Google Fonts are an extremely useful resource for designers. Why use Google Fonts? Because The are lots of them, covering all kinds of styles; they're free to download, and you can use them in both personal and commercial projects.

The biggest challenge is perhaps wading through them all to choose which to use. There are now over 1,700 font families in the Google Fonts library. It would take a long time to sift through them all. But we, and the designers that contribute to the site, have done just that. And we've picked out a selection of what we think are the best Google fonts to start with.
