In this article, I will share my best fonts and teach you how you can find the best fonts for your design. Either you’re doing it for a client project or just for building a portfolio. So stay tuned till the end.

Basics of Font Selection

Some of the things I personally take in mind when selecting a font for my project is that the font should be:

1. Easy to read: The most essential function of a typeface is to get read; if it is hard to read, then the typeface is not useful.
2. Have at least 4 weight styles: The style’s weight matters if you’re building a big app with a single font, so always search for it.
3. Who you’re choosing the font for: If choosing for yourself free fonts are a good option but if for clients then paid fonts might be a considerable option.

Next, I’ll share some of the resources I use for my font selection.
