10 Serifs Worth Bookmarking: Free Google Fonts
No Adobe subscription? No problem.
Google Fonts is an excellent resource – fonts are easy to browse, preview, and download. Even better, every font is open-source and 100% free for commercial use; that means you can use them in any project, big or small, without worrying about licensing.
Some design programs (like Figma) even include Google Fonts by default, making them an effortless choice for designers.
I’m sharing some of my favourite serifs below; classic, timeless picks you can save to use later (without the stress of endless scrolling).
