No matter what your personal style is, it’s imperative to have a wide selection of fonts in your design library. This will help ensure you always have the right font handy, regardless of the type of project you’re working on.
In most cases, traditional choices will be your best bet. Serif, sans-serif, script or decorative fonts will round out your design nicely and help you convey the right tone and message. But sometimes, you will need to step out of your comfort zone and use something that is a little more unusual.
In cases like those, chunky and 3D fonts could be just what you need. These fonts are perfect for branding projects for brands that want to stand out and be perceived as original and bold. Chunky and 3D fonts are also a great choice for t-shirt designs, posters, billboards, promo materials, and any other type of design project where you need to make an impact.
Keep in mind that these types of fonts can dominate the design so it’s best to use them alongside a simpler font and, of course, avoid using them in long sentences or paragraphs.
Given the number of fonts available online, finding the best chunky or 3D font for your project can take up a lot of your time that could be spent working on the project instead. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best chunky and 3D fonts from around the web. Feel free to download them and use them in your projects.

Variable fonts are perhaps the biggest thing to happen to web typography since the advent of web fonts. They are poised to add another layer of flexibility to the web designer’s toolbox. Because these fonts can contain numerous styles within a single file, they open up new possibilities in special effects and efficiency.
While the number of available variable font packages is growing, the selection isn’t huge just yet. And then there’s the whole issue regarding lack of support in older browsers. But those limitations aren’t going to last much longer. Thus, it’s a good idea to study up now.
We’ve collected some fantastic variable font examples to help demonstrate what is possible. Just note that, in order to actually see these examples in their full glory, you’ll need to use the latest version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera or Safari.

Running Free
Glyphs are kind of a big deal these days, with the likes of Font Awesome and Dashicons being in such wide use. In this example, a variable font with a single glyph of an emoji horse was used to create a nifty animation. Through the use of CSS font-variation-settings, the author was able to ensure an ultra-smooth effect.

Animate Your (Font) Weight
One of the big advantages of having the entirety of a font’s styles in one file is that you can transition between them in a snap. In this case, we see a highly-detailed and mesmerizing animation between different weights of the IBM Plex Sans font.
See the Pen Variable font animation by Michelle Barker
Interactive Art
Here’s an example of a variable font being used as part of a larger piece of online art. Instead of animating a single word or headline, this snippet mimics a poster – albeit an animated one. The transition from hollow characters to filled (and back again) is truly slick. The sequencing is spot on. Years ago, this might have taken hours of tedious work in Flash to accomplish.
See the Pen Variable Font Experiment No.2 by Mark Frömberg
Style Slider
Perhaps no snippet in this collection better demonstrates what a variable font is than this one. Use the sliders at the bottom of the screen to add custom weight, stretch and sizing to the Venn VF font. Notice the ease with which the settings changes are displayed.

Have It Your Way
At first glance, this example looks like a nicely-formatted poem. But there’s more than just a basic title and text here. Click on the “Jigger the First Stanza” and “Rejigger Title” buttons to the right and you’ll be in for a treat. Font styles change fluidly and instantaneously. And it’s a great demonstration of how individual characters can be targeted as well.

Goblin Market with Variable Fonts by Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier)
Highlights
In this example, various selections of text are highlighted in a paragraph. What’s especially neat about this technique is that it uses Intersection Observer to target text as it comes into view. The initial highlighting is actually just a slight color variance, but hover over that text to view an attention-grabbing animation.
See the Pen Variable font – Animated over (weight) by Villads Claes
The Full Effect
When you combine variable fonts, CSS3 and JavaScript, great things can happen. And you don’t need to look further than this example to see why. This attractive text has a delightful stretchy hover effect, which is cool on its own. But change the included settings panel and you’ll get an even more in-depth sense of what is possible.
See the Pen Variable Fonts | Compressa by Juan Fuentes
So Slinky
Let’s close things out with something quite unique. This snippet uses the WHOA variable font to create an incredible 3D effect that shifts the view of this outline text based on your cursor position. Again, this is something that, a few years ago, would require some serious animation software to achieve. Now, the different perspectives are built right into the font. From there, it’s a matter of using some clever coding to put it in motion.
See the Pen Slinky Text – WHOA Variable font demo by Jérôme Sprenger Sèvegrand
A New Era in Typography
With the use of variable fonts, web typography has become an even greater resource for creating a compelling UX. Thanks to their ability to instantly change styles and target specific characters through data splitting, a whole new level of special effects are possible.
As the examples above demonstrate, there is plenty of room for creativity. And what’s really exciting is that the fonts themselves have so many goodies baked right in.
That being said, we’re really just beginning to scratch the surface of what these fonts can do. It will be amazing to see what the future brings.

You may not give much thought to the font you currently use for coding. You are probably happy with the default monospaced font that comes with your favorite IDE and over time have become accustomed to it.
These fonts may be the best fonts for you, but are they actually good for general coding? I would never tell you which font is good (currently I am using Ubuntu Mono Regular) or bad, as there is no way to categorically measure it. It does come down to each coders preference. But there are certain fonts freely available that have been designed purely with programmers and coders in mind which you may like to consider.
With this post I just wanted to highlight some of the best free monospaced fonts that have been optimized for programming and to also offer some basic pointers for selecting a particular font.
So what should you be looking for in a good monospaced programming font? For starters, it has to be clear and highly readable, proportionally-spaced, and for obvious reasons, needs to come packaged with an extended character set with distinguishable glyphs. And perhaps more importantly than legibility, the ‘1’, ‘i’ & ‘l’ and ‘o’, ‘0’ & ‘O’ have to be clearly identifiable as different characters.

Are you struggling to find that particular typeface that matches your creative vision? Then you’ve come to the right place! We do know how difficult and time-consuming it can be to find good, high-quality fonts, so we’ve done the searching for you. With over 100 free fonts to choose from, we guarantee that you will find the one, if not the several, you need. These really are the fonts you’ve been looking for!
This collection focuses on those clean and distinctive fonts that will make a professional and highly legible impact on your designs, wether that be on the web or in print. So, there are no overly decorative styles, as we have covered hand-drawn fonts, brush fonts, sci-fi fonts, chunky fonts, gothic fonts, outline fonts, comic fonts, graffiti fonts, and all those other creative and quirky fonts we all love, before.
Without delving too much into typeface classification and to also help you find that perfect font you’ve been looking for much quicker, we’ve grouped the most popular categories for you: Free Serif Fonts, Free Sans Serif Fonts, Free Slab Serif Fonts, Free Geometric Fonts and Monospaced Fonts.
Font License
Just like with all free resources, you need to check the license of each font to make sure that you have the proper legal permission to use them. At the time of writing this article, all of the fonts were free to use, but we urge you to double-check that there haven’t been any recent modifications to the license.
If you’re looking for a guaranteed commercial license for your fonts, we recommend that you use Envato Elements and their professionally designed library fonts.
Free Serif Fonts
Serifs are defined by the small lines (or decorative features) that trail from the edges of each letter and number. As Serif fonts are considered to be easier to read, they’re typically used in print design as the characters are clearer and more distinctive, making it much easier for our brains to process.
Just like Slab Serifs (see further down), there are always exceptions to the rule. Most Serifs will work perfectly well as a title or headline on the web, and some, as you will see by the selection of free Serif fonts below, will even work beautifully as body text, but please do choose your web typography carefully.
