New Web Fonts Open Sans & Fjord Join the Scene

Web font enthusiasts have new options to explore. Open Sans, a humanist sans-serif, and Fjord, a sturdy serif, have joined the scene. Meanwhile, designers can find free fonts online, but licensing rules must be checked.

Open Sans, designed by Steve Matteson, excels in small sizes on web and mobile interfaces. Fjord, by Magnum Fonts, is robust and ideal for tiny print. Do Hyeon, a Latin and Korean split font, brings retro charm.

Choosing a web font involves considering readability, scalability, style, and personality. Ostrich Sans, with its long neck, and Josefin Sans, inspired by vintage Swedish design, offer unique styles. PT Sans, a Russian sans-serif, and M Plus 1p, a proportional font with seven weights, provide diverse options.

For mobile-friendly fonts, DM Sans, Poppins, and Quicksand stand out. Always verify licensing rules to avoid legal pitfalls when using free fonts.
