I’d be really eager to dump my Adobe suite subscription for good, but a significant factor holding me back is how vast and high-quality their font library is. I’ve poked around a bit and found some resources like Open Foundry but beyond that, what I’ve found is relatively sparse.
Are there any good resources for finding open-source (or at least public domain or the like) fonts? Or are there any specific open-source fonts anyone has used before that they’d recommend?
I’ve been using homebrew as an OS agnostic package manager. It’s been surprisingly great on Linux btw! And when I went hunting for fonts, I found that homebrew has a huge collection of fonts available for easy install. I personally found the GitHub repo easier to explore. I can’t be sure that they’re all open source but I expect that a large number of them are
This is an awesome tip. As a web designer that also blocks third party everything, I like to bundle fonts as part of my assets instead of relying on a CDN.
