30 Elegant and Beautiful Free Fonts for Creative Designs

Font is one of the key elements in any design related project. As a freelancer, having a serious bunch of good and various fonts is a must-have. For this reason, I gathered 30 great and very clean fonts, ready to be added to your typography collection. From books, reports, print catalogs to brochures and posters, you can use them for any type of project you want!

Calluna Sans

Square Comic

Alt Alternative

Alternative is a three-weight typeface for logos and titles.

Dimitrina

Dimitrina was created with a simple premise: Can there exist a typeface which features a minimum of sharp angles? And a readable typeface, as well?

1470 Sorbone

This family was created inspired from the first font carved and cast in France, for the Sorbonne University’s printing workshop (Paris). The characters were drawn by Jean Heynlin, rector of the university – inspired from Pannartz’s – and in all probability was carved by Adolf Rusch.

Jesterday

Jesterday is a four weight – light, regular, medium and bold – type family that’s suitable for headlines but works great in informal body-copy as well.

Classic Blur

Classic Blur has maximum roundness — and is still legible. It can be used as an interesting workhorse in small text sizes. It makes eye-catching headlines in big display sizes.

Waterfall

Springsteel Serif

Like the sans-serif, it has unusual construction using curves on the outside and straight lines inside characters, giving it quite an expressive and warm feel. It contains small caps and old-style figures, as well as superior/inferior figures and common fractions and mathematical symbols. It supports Western plus Nordic, Eastern European and Turkish languages.

Seconda

Wait a second… Seconda. A sans serif with its own individuality. A typeface which combines character with legibility. A typeface which combines business with pleasure. Its moderate contrast and narrowing terminals give this typeface a gentle and sophisticated nature. Use it for books, reports, magazines, business letters – and relax. Use it for brochures, posters, signs, corporate identity projects – and enjoy.

Skyhook Mono

SkyhookMono is a carefully handcrafted monospaced typeface family. It is modern, sturdy and reduced to the max yet refined and classy. But we really love the fact that Skyhook Mono is very readable even in smaller sizes. It is designed and optimized to be printed so you should not be surprised when the results are even better than the screen appearance!

FR Hopper

FR Hopper is the biggest release of Faberfonts Foundry since its opening. The project started as a quest for cool and neutral thin sans capital forms and proportions more than a year ago. Till then lots of things have changed and have been added and the project has grown into a project as complex and prolonged as nothing else before here in the studio of Faberfonts.

Lintel

A modern san serif typeface with a pure clean line form. The idea has been to design a font with a proportioned and balanced structure that is applicable to a wide variety of uses. Details include 6 weights with italics, a full character set, manually edited kerning and Euro symbol.

ION C

ION C is a part of the ION superfamily, which consists of 3 families: condensed (ION A), normal (ION B) and wide (ION C), each having a compelling range of 10 weights.

Florin Sans

A clean, symmetrical and modern typeface. The font (previously named “Heimat Grotesk”) was developed by Florian Klauer for display and body copy application. What stands out about this font is it’s large x-height and constant line-weight. Nearly all letters bend with a continuous unfaltering style, giving the impression all letters are cast from the same mold.

Oval

Oval is a custom sans font which is applicable for any type of graphic design – web, print, motion graphics etc and perfect for t-shirts and other items.

Giro

Giro is an informal sans serif typeface.
Designed for an independent music label, it was part of the graduation project of designer Marcelo Magalhães.
This typeface can be used on logos and music poster design.

St Ryde

St Ryde is a humanistic sans-serif with a slight touch of a script typeface. The most significant aspect of the typeface is the combined sharp and round treatment of the stroke endings. The complete Ryde Family contains five weights including real matching italics, so you can choose from thin, light, regular, medium and bold.

Planer

A modern rounded typeface combining humanist elements with a strong geometric grid. The result is a font that can produce striking visuals at large scale and clean line legibility at text size.
Details include four weights, a complete character set, manually edited kerning and Euro symbol.

Haymer

Haymer stands at the apogee of legibility and clarity. Its design embodies symmetry, even stroke widths and a subtle rounded quality to give an instinctive appeal to the reader and to the designer. Haymer is modern yet characterful and is ideal for use as a text family, online and wherever instant easy readability is required.

Reklame Script

Reklame Script is a brush typefamily consisting of four weights. It was designed by Hannes von Döhren in 2010. This family is influenced by the handlettering of printed advertisements of the 1940s and 1950s. You can combine the four weights to gain a better emphasis – perfect for headlines, posters, and other display uses.

Circula

Circula is a simplified geometric display typeface based on circles.
It contains capitals and small capitals only (no lower case), basic symbols, superior and inferior numbers and common fractions. It supports Eastern European, Baltic and Turkish character sets.

Danger

Sketchetik

Sketchetik is a hand-drawn font in four styles: light, regular, bold and black.
It is recommended for use as display typeface.

InSign

Geometric font for paradoxical or short texts. Also maybe use for headlines, logos etc.

Otari

Otari is vibrant and contemporary, but serious and built to last.
Its character shines in display type, but doesn’t interfere at text sizes. Otari aims to capture the essence of Wellington, New Zealand in a single typeface. The contrast of a colorful art scene and the conservative colonial British aesthetic, which is still evident in the capital city, laid the groundwork for this design.

Cartwheel

Cartwheel, a super bold and playful display font designed by Tom Censani was inspired by the imperfect beauty of hand-lettered signs at theme parks and the bouncy cadence of text inside comic book bubbles.
Cartwheel is a fun attention-grabbing font.

Museo Slab

Museo Slab is robust slab serif with Museo’s friendliness. It is a perfect match for Museo Sans.

Scriber

A technical square-edged font influenced by modern architecture and computer aided design.

Hemingway

Hemingway designed by Alessandro Segalini was inspired by the prize winning novel The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Miller Hemingway.

Madalin Tudose

A web developer with a crush on SEO. Having my skin in the game of website development and digital marketing for more than 10 years already, you might consider me an expert. At least this is what people call me. Honestly, I HATE that term. I prefer to describe myself as a person who takes action and risks. I test every hypothesis, document every step of the process, and implement what works.
