These lists pick the best free Google Fonts for one job at a time, such as a resume, an elegant brand or a modern website. Each font is set in itself, so you can compare them as you scroll.
Font Lists by Project

- Best Fonts for a ResumeLato, Source Sans 3, Inter and other clear fonts for a resume.
- Elegant FontsPlayfair Display, Cormorant Garamond, Bodoni Moda and more refined serifs.

How We Choose the Fonts
Every font on these lists is free on Google Fonts, reads well on screens and comes in enough weights for headings and body text. We favour fonts that stay clear at small sizes and leave out ones that only work as decoration.
If you already have a font in mind, the pairing guides show what goes with it, and the font profiles cover one typeface in depth.
