Introduction to Google Fonts

Introduction to Google Fonts

There are literally thousands of fonts to choose from but today I want to introduce you to Google Fonts. These are not only great looking fonts but are also freely available for download and use in both personal and commercial projects.

Fonts are a key element in the development of design and branding. The Google Fonts website allows you to easily filter and visualise different font pairings.

I recommend taking a minimalistic approach in font selection. Stick to 2 fonts if you can. Pick one for the Main Heading and the other for Paragraph text. It is always a good idea to note these down in your Brand Guidelines document for future reference.

Check out the video for a quick introduction to Google Fonts.
