PT Sans is another great typeface for body copy that we can use both in apps and websites. Of course it’s also free which is always nice and it’s not helvetica+ ;) I suggest you go ahead and download it from http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/PT-Sans right now.

I’m especially happy to see that we’re not limited to Helvetica Neue, Roboto and Segoe for our mobile designs with great free fonts like this one, Open Sans or Source Sans Pro around :)

Source Sans pro is a great Sans Serif font from Adobe, that has a wide range of languages and a very nice overall design. As helvetica (in it’s many forms) is a bit overused, it’s always great to look for alternatives. You can download the font for free at:

Airbag is a Radiohead inspired Slab Serif Typeface that fits perfectly into any poster or branding design. It’s also free so it’s a no brainer. Go get it now at Simon Stratford’s website.

This week we have another “body copy” font that can replace Helvetica Neue in at least a few of your designs: introducing Museo Sans 500. The whole typeface is not free, but the 500 and 500 italic versions are so if you’re into finding a way to freshen up your copy designs go ahead and download it now!

Open Sans is a font that stole my heart and my designs this year. It’s by far one of the most beautiful typefaces I’ve ever seen. And it’s perfectly crafted for both web and mobile. It really shines in the latter. The best part? It’s completely free and a part of google web fonts.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, download it:

This font has the best chance to finally kill off the much overused helvetica (jk;))

Here’s a very nice bold+thin free font called Code Pro. It looks very good on all kinds of modern-style web-designs and posters and for the $0 price is well worth grabbing right now!

PulsarJS is a very nice icon typeface that comes in really handy, and in most cases can fully replace vector icon packs. Sure not all of the icons are awesome, but most of them are very neatly done and work well in all resolutions. This is a no-brainer.

And yes, it’s free. You can get it here

Cantarell is another one of those fonts that you can simply fall in love with and use all over your designs. The awesome part? It’s completely free for both personal and commercial use, so in the sea of paid fonts this is another island of free&good. I suggest you Download the TTF of Cantarell  now!

Quicksand is a very nice, rounded, sans-serif typeface that works quite well for all kinds of large type. It also has a VERY NICE ampersand, that can be used to liven up a serif typeface.

You can download it for free here. Give the props to the designers too while you’re at it!

Wayfinding Sans is a beautiful font designed especially for all kinds of informational signs, but we think it can have a much wider application, as it’s simply a very good looking typeface.

You can get the demo (just the regular typeface) paying with a tweet or facebook post at:

Another great font from the nice people of Bulgaria (FontFabric). This one is a bit more stylish and comes in both medium and thin variations. Very good with posters and banners and since it’s free it’s practically a no-brainer!
