Google Fonts is no longer just a source of 5-6 overused typefaces like Poppins, Roboto, and Lora. It’s continually updated with a wide range of high-quality typefaces that anyone can use for a project, experiment with, or bring into that side project (nudge, nudge).
So, I’ve put together a selection of my favorite lesser-known Google Fonts to make your life easier. You can check it out on Figma Community, accompanied by some cool poster designs created using Karthik’s spirograph and Tejas’s concentric shapes plugins. Avinash helped a lot with his overflowing ideas.
