Lora Bold Font
Lora is a well-balanced contemporary serif with roots in calligraphy. It is a text typeface with moderate contrast well suited for body text.
A paragraph set in Lora will make a memorable appearance because of its brushed curves in contrast with driving serifs. The overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story, or an art essay.
Slabo 27px Font
Slabo is a collection of size-specific fonts for use in online advertising and other web uses. The collection currently includes this font, Slabo 27px, and Slabo 13px. Each font in the collection is fine-tuned for use at the pixel size in its name.
Arvo Font
Arvo is a geometric slab-serif typeface family suited for screen and print. The family includes 4 cuts: Roman, Italic, Roman Bold, Bold Italic. It is a libre font, first published in Google Fonts. The flavour of the font is rather mixed. It’s monolinear-ish, but has a tiny bit of contrast (which increases the legibility a little in Mac OS X.)
The name Arvo is a typical Estonian man’s name, but is not widely used today. In the Finnish language, Arvo means “number, value, worth.” Considering how much programming is involved in hinting, all these meanings are true.
Coustard Black Font
Coustard is a display and text serif webfont designed to be used freely across the internet by web browsers on desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices.
Coustard has been developed from a fork of Tienne, another font in the Google Font Directory, available under the SIL Open Font License which allows for remixing fonts.
Libre Franklin Font
Libre Franklin is an interpretation and expansion of the 1912 Morris Fuller Benton classic.
Rubik Font
Rubik is a sans serif font family with slightly rounded corners designed by Philipp Hubert and Sebastian Fischer at Hubert & Fischer as part of the Chrome Cube Lab project.
Rubik is a 5 weight family with Roman and Italic styles, that accompanies Rubik Mono One, a monospaced variation of the Black roman design.
Bodoni Moda Bold Font
Bodoni Moda is a no-compromises Bodoni family, built for the digital age. This font family includes a full range of weights, italics, an extended character set, OpenType features, and optical sizes, totalling 64 font files. It was made with love and will continue to improve with your support.
Halant Medium Font
Halant is a typeface family supporting the Devanagari and Latin scripts. This is an Open Source font family, first published by the Indian Type Foundry in 2014.
IBM Plex Serif Semi-bold Font
IBM Plex™ is an international typeface family designed by Mike Abbink, IBM BX&D, in collaboration with Bold Monday, an independent Dutch type foundry. Plex was designed to capture IBM’s spirit and history, and to illustrate the unique relationship between mankind and machine—a principal theme for IBM since the turn of the century. The result is a neutral, yet friendly Grotesque style typeface that includes a Sans, Sans Condensed, Mono, and Serif and has excellent legibility in print, web and mobile interfaces. Plex’s three designs work well independently, and even better together. Use the Sans as a contemporary compadre, the Serif for editorial storytelling, or the Mono to show code snippets. The unexpectedly expressive nature of the italics give you even more options for your designs.
Poppins Font
Geometric sans serif typefaces have been a popular design tool ever since these actors took to the world’s stage. Poppins is one of the new comers to this long tradition. With support for the Devanagari and Latin writing systems, it is an internationalist take on the genre.
Many of the Latin glyphs (such as the ampersand) are more constructed and rationalist than is typical. The Devanagari design is particularly new, and is the first ever Devanagari typeface with a range of weights in this genre. Just like the Latin, the Devanagari is based on pure geometry, particularly circles.
Each letterform is nearly monolinear, with optical corrections applied to stroke joints where necessary to maintain an even typographic color. The Devanagari base character height and the Latin ascender height are equal; Latin capital letters are shorter than the Devanagari characters, and the Latin x-height is set rather high.
