A skillfully chosen font will immediately upgrade your work, whether you’re a designer, artist, job seeker or blogger. 
Fonts are so crucial, there’s a whole field of study dedicated to them, and there are hundreds of thousands of fonts in existence! 
Best of all, many of these are free for personal and/or commercial use. 
Our guide highlights 100 of our favorite free fonts in the Sans Serif, Serif, Script and Decorative categories, including many just released in 2022. 
Why choose a new unique font?
The right font improves your work in a number of ways. It will:
aid readability
direct the reader’s focus
create and amplify a mood
compliment your visuals
compliment the medium (packaging, flyers, resumes, etc)
What font to choose?
The medium plays a key role in your font choice. Some fonts work better on product packaging or flyers than on resumes - and vice versa.
For each font, we've identified best use cases. But let your imagination run wild. Since all of these are free for personal use (and some for commercial use), you can test out a few to see how well they fit your project.  
So let's jump right in and have some fun with fonts!
