[ikbelkirasan]

  We've scoured the web to present you with a fine and varied selection of free fonts. Including scripts, serifs, and a range of ligatures, these fonts will give you greater flexibility in your designs, and add to your arsenal of design tools.

Some of these free fonts can be used on your web projects, but check the terms. And if you're looking at a quick primer on using web fonts, we explain all here.

So, without further ado, join us as we present you with 10 of the best free fonts, which you can download and use today. Let us know how you get on!

01. Dense

 

Dense currently only comes in Regular but there'll be more weights to follow.

One of our favourite free fonts to recently surface, Dense is a versatile, elegant, geometric and compact sans-serif typeface. Three weights have been created thus far: thin, regular and bold. Created by by Canadian artist Charles Daoud, Regular is currently the only weight available, but Daoud has said that he'll update his Behance page with news on how to get the other weights in the near future.

FORMAT: TTF

 

02. Chrome Light

Chrome Light can be used for any type of personal work

 

Created by London-based graphic designer Artem Sukhinin, Chrome light is available in two variations, Chrome and Chrome Black, with a full set of letters, numbers and four punctuation marks. This is one of those free fonts that can be used for any type of graphic design - print, web, packaging and more.

FORMAT: TTF

 

03. Higher

 Higher comes in both TTF and OTF formats

 

Created by Portugal-based graphic designer Marissa Passos, free font Higher was made as a student project during her time at the University of Porto. The typeface contains a full set of uppercase characters and numbers 0-9. It's free for both personal and commercial use, and available in OTF and TTF formats.

Format: OTF and TTF

 

04. Look Up

Filiz Sahin creates another brilliant free font

New York based interactive designer and illustrator Filiz Sahin is quickly becoming known for her free fonts. Often experimenting with an array of different techniques, her fonts are as versatile as her own design style. Look Up is one of the most playful free fonts on our list, with a home-made feel, with little arrows at the edge of each letter.

Format: TTF

 

05. Woodwarrior

Woodwarrior is a typeface inspired by the north, and the contrast between modern man made structures and untouched nature shaped by wind and ice alone. Created by designer Anton Bohlin, Woodwarrior is one of those free fonts that's perfect for experimental headlines and eye-catching straps.

Format: TTF

 

06. Fenix

 

Graphic designer Fernando Diaz describes this entry to our free fonts as a "serif typeface designed for display and long texts, its foundations are based in calligraphy, with strong serifs and rough strokes. Its proportions seek to gain space in height and width. Fénix is elegant at large sizes and legible at the same time, with a lot of rhythm in small sizes."

FORMAT: OTF

 

07. Woodshop

Earlier this year, Pennsylvania-based graphic designer Nick Slater released this Woodshop typeface, which he generously offers as a free download. The slab font comes complete with a full set of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.

FORMAT: OTF

 

08. Quirky nots

Toronto based typographer Amit Jakhu created this fun and playfully unique typeface for his Typography 6 class. He released it as one of the hundreds of free fonts out there, because he wouldn't have further developed it after finishing college - and we couldn't thank him enough!

It was a huge learning curve for Jakhu and we think he's done a great job for a first timer. He's happy for you to modify it, share it and basically do whatever you want with it. It is fully available to use anywhere; no restrictions!

FORMAT: TTF

 

09. Vincent

Vincent was developed by graphic and product designer for NBC Universal Ben Suarez. Created at the end of last year, this vintage-inspired design was Suarez's first fully functioning typeface, and is a great addition to our free fonts.

"Vincent was intended to be used as a title font," explains Suarez. It was "named after my grandfather who drove a '76 Chrysler Cordoba and smoked out of an old wooden pipe. He was rad."

FORMAT: TTF

 

10. BoB

Inspired by the playful asethics of illustration, Burma-based typographer Zarni has created this cool and characterful font. This kind of typography is perfect for experimentation and will work wonders on posters and headlines.

Coming in capital and lower case letters, BoB also includes numerical symbols as well as a variety of punctuation marks. As free fonts go it has plenty of uses - just be sure to show Zarni some love.

FORMAT: TTF
