I'm so glad to have found this video! I'm a new web developer (long-time designer) and I actually detest searching for the right font. There are just too many and I never know which is the right one. These are certainly great starting points!

I had forgotten how good Flux was. Excellent advice delivered in a Mancunian accent. Love it!

Nothing wrong with pure Helvetica. Font that has stood the test of time

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[oscarrabasse]

This is exactly the video I needed for tomorrow, thanks for the help !!

I'm a noob when it comes to fonts but vids like these with examples and explanation really help. Good stuff. I have a feeling I'll be exploring all these free fonts for quite a while

Yesterday I spent 4h on Google fonts alone! Exploring, digging, browsing, experimenting. Found some really fun and interesting fonts. Typography is certainly growing on me, and started exploring typography-led web design. Some of these examples really help solidify my interest and fresh approach. Great content as always. 🤘🏻

Instrument Serif is absolute class 👌

Could you clarify whether you're referring to titles or body in this video?

[orcadiadesign]

Thanks Matt! I've used Outfit for my business website so I'm glad you think that's a good choice :-) I will add the other recommended fonts to my toolbox too!

I love the Cooper Hewitt one but when i download the OTF files, and when i open illustrator, some of the "font weight" are not working... Do you know why ? :/

PS : I'm working on windows

[OneBrokeBloke]

Is Hedvig for headings only? Cus it seems to have no weights to work with, nor italics. That feels like it would halt you a lot

[askshahawy]

Fantastic video, very informative and helpful. can you please share the domain of the first website you mentioned? The Brac website.

[DesignDen]

How are you able to find sites that are using the fonts? Is there are place that has this repository? Like fonts in use

[guapshonen]

More of these please. Awesome dude ! ❤

I respectfully disagree with the premise of this video. Yes, you may be able to get away with 6 fonts or so, but that's a bare minimum. Educating yourself in the field of typography and gain a knowledge of what's possible with type and your design opportunities will grow and your portfolio strength will improve.

Nice font choices. I like the subtle differences in some of these compared to more 'traditional' serif or sans fonts. Thanks for a great video!

[BhawinJagad]

Can you add the barc* website link please?

[chamugas]

Hi. Can you tell me what is the name of the font extension you used? Thanks
