Modern Free Fonts to Download

Let’s face it, we need free fonts for our projects. Many of us are freelancers and we just can’t afford to buy font families at $150+ each. Thank goodness for free assets and designers that like to make a name for themselves by creating and providing free fonts for us to download. With that being said, my focus on free fonts this week is on modern fonts. Use these modern free fonts to give your designs a progressive feel while being elegant and completely legible. Here are 22 high quality modern free fonts.

Attenticaattentica New Free Fonts

Attentica is an unexpectedly good free font with a large presence. It’s tall, thin, and has just enough weight to get noticed.

Hammer is a really cool modern slab serif font that makes you instantly think tech. I love the slash in the zero, which makes it easy to identify  when someone is using the letter O and the number zero. I hate when a typeface makes it difficult to tell the difference!
