I had forgotten how good Flux was. Excellent advice delivered in a Mancunian accent. Love it!
@chamugas888

Nice collection, but none of these support cyrillic charachters.
@cerealbox412
I'm so glad to have found this video! I'm a new web developer (long-time designer) and I actually detest searching for the right font. There are just too many and I never know which is the right one. These are certainly great starting points!
@GA0001
? What should i be aware of for using this fonts on an Ebook ?
@goodtimeswerehad
Nice font choices. I like the subtle differences in some of these compared to more 'traditional' serif or sans fonts. Thanks for a great video!
@riccemorales9647
Thank you for this!
@theologyuniversity
thanks
@TalhaWaleeeed
Space mono has bad kurning
@rinzler749
1:59 can someone please tell what extension he used there?
@hynekhavelka7450
What is the first site with bdo grotesk pls?
@guapshonen
More of these please. Awesome dude ! ❤
@OneBrokeBloke
Is Hedvig for headings only? Cus it seems to have no weights to work with, nor italics. That feels like it would halt you a lot
@keysncoffee7733
I really appreciate the video. Thanks for sharing!
Instrument Serif is absolute class 👌
@DesignDen673
How are you able to find sites that are using the fonts? Is there are place that has this repository? Like fonts in use
@georgebuko2385
Yesterday I spent 4h on Google fonts alone! Exploring, digging, browsing, experimenting. Found some really fun and interesting fonts. Typography is certainly growing on me, and started exploring typography-led web design. Some of these examples really help solidify my interest and fresh approach. Great content as always. 🤘🏻
@oscarrabasse3737
This is exactly the video I needed for tomorrow, thanks for the help !!

If you witness a live increase in the like count like a comment
@uxmunzir395
what's the name of the extension
@theefficientdesigner
I respectfully disagree with the premise of this video. Yes, you may be able to get away with 6 fonts or so, but that's a bare minimum. Educating yourself in the field of typography and gain a knowledge of what's possible with type and your design opportunities will grow and your portfolio strength will improve.
@SnakesRaven
I'm a noob when it comes to fonts but vids like these with examples and explanation really help. Good stuff. I have a feeling I'll be exploring all these free fonts for quite a while
@JeremyMuradesign
I like the Mo Matt got a sherif kinda look, great fonts, Fontshare is a great site to get solid fonts.
@frostheda
What is the name of the extension that you use to recognize fonts in website
@orcadiadesign
Thanks Matt! I've used Outfit for my business website so I'm glad you think that's a good choice 🙂 I will add the other recommended fonts to my toolbox too!
@KOBE42__
Nothing wrong with pure Helvetica. Font that has stood the test of time
