# Fonts that I like to use frequently

While there are a lot of free fonts available on Google Fonts[^1], there are a few fonts that I think are special.


### 1. Epilogue
- [Epilogue on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Epilogue)
- Used by [Soopr](https://www.soopr.co)

### 2. DM Sans
If you like Circular Std (used by Spotify and Netflix), you will like DM Sans. I think it is the closest equivalent to Circular.
- [DM Sans on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/DM+Sans)
- Used by [my blog](https://www.abhinav.co) and [apicagent](https://www.apicagent.com)

### 3. Manrope
I like Proxima Nova.  While Manrope is not exactly similar to it, however, it surely gives me the same vibes.
- [Manrope on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Manrope)
- Used by [Humangous](https://humangous.co/)

### 4. Poppins
Poppins is a geometric font with a typical 'a' - very clean and beautiful.
- [Poppins on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins)
- Used by [APIC Blocks](https://www.apicblocks.com)

(APIC Blocks also uses [Cal Sans](https://github.com/calcom/font) by [cal.com](https://cal.com/) for headings - really goes well with Poppins.

### 5. Lexend
Lexend font was created to improve reading experience. Learn more on [lexend.com](https://www.lexend.com/)
- [Lexend on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lexend)
- Used by [Chhoti Si Kahani](https://chhotisikahani.com/) for English text

### 6. Outfit
Outfit has a typical 't' and in general a playful character. Yet, it comes out to be very readable.
- [Outfit on Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Outfit)
- Used by [APIC Ping](https://ping.apicblocks.com/)

## Other Fonts

A few other fonts that I like:
1. [Mukta](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Mukta) for Devanagari
2. [Hammersmith One](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Hammersmith+One) for headings
3. [Space Grotesk](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Grotesk)
4. [Inter](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter) (very good font, however, as a result also heavily used)

Also, a special mention to Monospace fonts that I frequently use:
1. [Roboto Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono)
2. [DM Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/DM+Mono)
3. [Space Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Mono)
4. [Courier Prime](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Courier+Prime) (better version of Courier and Courier New)
