Having the perfect, well designed typeface is essential for any project. With so many free typefaces out there, how do you figure out where to start?
Start here. We have curated Our 5 Favorite Free Sans Serif Font Familes for Spring/Summer 2016 with links save you the time and hassle of having to figure it out. And they are…
- Source Sans Pro created by Paul D. Hunt: 12 Styles
- Roboto created by Christian Robertson: 18 Styles
- Lato created by Łukasz Dziedzic: 18 Styles
- Alegreya Sans created by Juan Pablo del Peral: 20 Styles

What we love about each of these font families is the range of styles available. Font family ‘styles’ are the variations in the thickness and stroke, such as bold, light, thin, italic, roman. These styles provide flexibility to any communication needs you may have. Check out an example of Source Sans Pro below. It was created by Paul D. Hunt over at Adobe and is available in 12 styles. QUICK TIP: When searching for a font family look for at least six styles, its a good sign that it will adapt to any hierarchical needs you may have.
