Free Fonts From Google

There are many sources of free fonts on the web, but if I was looking for fonts I'd go to Google. Their Google Fonts page has a large selection of different types of fonts and a well-thought-out interface that allows for searching, filtering, and browsing. 

Thanks to the excellent Recomendo newsletter for the heads up.

There are about 1,000 very classy fonts available for free on Google Fonts. These are fonts you would actually want to use in your book or on your website. Some are commissioned by Google and designed by world-class typographers, such as the font Roboto used in Google maps. Many of these fonts come as families with different weights, italic, bold, extra glyphs, etc
