5 Free Sans-Serif Fonts

January 21st, 2010 Design, Free Stuff David Pohlmeier

As a graphic designer I’m always on the lookout for free and cool fonts to use. Check out this collection that contains five of my favorite free sans-serif type faces. Clicking on the picture will navigate you to the download location.

Quicksand by Andrew Paglinawan – a free sans serf face with 7 weights – including a dashed version.

This strong, angular typeface is ideal for headings. It features 96 of the most commonly used glyphs (characters).

League Gothic is a revival of an old classic, and one of our favorite typefaces, Alternate Gothic No.1. It was originally designed by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders Company (ATF) in 1903. The company went bankrupt in 1993. And since the original typeface was created before 1923, the typeface is in the public domain.

Simple, clean typeface with 2 weights and a condensed version.

Note from the author
