Free download fonts for 2D graphic design and game-dev

A harmoniously chosen font not only communicates information to the audience, but also visually complements the project. A mistake in font selection can spoil the impression and alienate the viewer from the product, be it a poster, a store or cafe sign, product packaging, a website or an application.

Intuitively selecting fonts for projects is a dream for beginners and an ordinary task for professional designers. In order to pass from the first category to the second one, it takes years of practice and study of typography, observation and theoretical knowledge of fonts.

Types of fonts

We've got the definitions and the terminology, but what fonts are there?

We have the following types:

Serif fonts

Serif fonts show strength, stability and seriousness. You can take a look at traditional fonts like News Gothic or Calibri to see for yourself. Their original form had simple and thick lines. As graphic design has evolved, these fonts have taken on a graceful, sophisticated look. If you want to convince the user of something, their use is really justified.

Handwritten fonts

Fonts for design did not come into being on their own. In fact, they are an imitation of handwritten text. A classic handwritten font has a refined look, and its letters go at a slant. Handwritten fonts look more eloquent and contain bold lettering within the typeface. They are perfect for some design and art project. Perhaps you can also use them to induce your customers to take action.

Decorative fonts

Decorative fonts in design are used to make text as prominent as possible. They are not suitable for writing the main content. Why? The fact that they are quite bulky. But they are ideal for highlighting some of the words and small headings.

Decorative fonts are present in all headsets. They are in sans serif fonts and in handwritten fonts. Their main feature is that they are vividly expressive. If you want to hear any specific example of these fonts, the first fonts that come to mind are Bauhaus and Windsor typefaces.

What's the best font to use?

We'll give you a little hint as to what font to use and in what project. So you can save yourself a really big amount of time.

Helvetica

Helvetica ranks again as the most popular font for application UI design. It is versatile and easy to read on websites, screens, and prints. It is considered a clean and neutral font that does not interfere and blends in easily with its surroundings. Helvetica is a safe font to use both when testing application UI design and when running a fully finished application.
