The best font libraries for customizing your application

We know how important your app's visual identity is. Fonts play a crucial role in creating this identity - they help define the mood and style of your app, and are a key element in building your brand image. GoodBarber lets you add your own custom fonts directly from the back office. But you still need to find the right ones. Here's our selection of the best online font libraries to get you started.

Finding quality fonts doesn't have to cost a lot. Here's our selection of the best free font libraries:

Google Fonts The ultimate reference for free fonts. Google Fonts offers hundreds of open source font families, compatible with over 135 languages. You can sort fonts by popularity, style, weight or writing system, and preview your texts before downloading. All fonts are free to use, including for commercial projects.

Fontshare A free font platform developed by the Indian Type Foundry, focused on clean, modern and professional typography, perfectly suited to real projects. The library includes complete families with various weights, italics and variable versions. All fonts are free for personal and commercial use.

Font Squirrel The reference for 100% royalty-free fonts for commercial use. Every font available on the platform is accompanied by detailed license information, so there are no nasty surprises. A particularly useful tool if licensing is a priority for you.

DaFont One of the oldest and largest free font libraries on the Internet, offering tens of thousands of fonts in numerous categories: basic, script, techno, display, and many others. An excellent resource for decorative or thematic fonts.

UNCUT.wtf A catalog of contemporary fonts designed for designers who want beautiful typography without wasting time. The platform offers over 160 open source fonts - sans-serif, serif, monospace and display - all free for commercial use under the SIL Open Font license.

For those wishing to invest in truly distinctive typography, here are two premium references to consider:

Adobe Fonts Included in the Creative Cloud subscription, Adobe Fonts provides access to thousands of professional-quality fonts, ready for use in your web and native projects, with no additional licensing constraints.

MyFonts One of the largest font collections available for purchase, covering every style imaginable. MyFonts also offers WhatTheFont, a handy font identification tool.

Finding a good font is good. Knowing how to combine it with another is even better. In an application, you generally use at least two fonts: one for headings, one for body text. Choosing fonts that work harmoniously together isn't instinctive, especially without a design background. Here are two tools to help you do just that. For further information, you can also consult our Design System Typography and our Font atom documentation to understand how GoodBarber structures the typography in your applications.

Fontpair A simple, visual tool that suggests combinations of Google Fonts that work well together. Ideal if you're just starting out: you can see how each pairing looks before making your choice.

Fontjoy A pairing generator based on a neural network algorithm. It analyzes the visual properties of fonts to suggest harmonious pairings. You can lock a font you like and regenerate the others until you find the perfect combination.

You can integrate your custom font by clicking on the font selector in any editing menu, or from the menu :

Settings > Other settings > My fonts

You can import your fonts in the required formats (.woff2 for progressive web applications, .ttf or .otf for native applications). You can include up to ten custom fonts. Once added, these fonts will be available in all font selectors in your administration interface.
