Fonts, also known as typefaces, which we use in all kinds of applications, allow us to add a touch of originality to our projects and software. It may be the case that we are web developers or programmers, or that we simply want to change the appearance of certain applications, for which these elements are very useful.
In most cases, when we load a program on the computer, we tend to establish a light or dark mode and customize its interface based on our needs. But sometimes we also have the possibility of changing its font, such as what happens in Microsoft’s powerful Windows operating system. In the same way, it can happen that we are designers or programmers and we are looking for a certain type of font that is somewhat more original for our projects.
At this point we must keep in mind that on the Internet we can find a huge number of fonts to use in these cases. As we mentioned before, we find some interesting platforms that offer us this content, both free and paid. However, perhaps one of the most interesting proposals in this sector is offered by the search giant itself, Google.
Specifically, we refer to the popular website called google fonts which we can access quickly and easily from our web browser. To begin with, all we have to do is go to the website in question in order to access all the enormous amount of content of this type that is proposed here.
How to use Google Fonts to download fonts
From the outset and as soon as we access this website that we are talking about, we find a series of sources that are clearly differentiated from each other.
At first we just have to scroll down the web of this Google portal to find a huge number of sources. We can easily download these typefaces by simply clicking on the sample that interests us in each case. In addition, next to the text example corresponding to each typeface, we find an assigned name.
It is also worth knowing that at the top of the web interface we find a powerful content search engine. In this way, if someone has sent us a font that interests them and that we can use in a personal project, for example, from the corresponding search box we can locate it quickly. At the same time we find a sliding bar to see the samples of the sources in greater or lesser size. Obviously here it is important that we distinguish them well and we can see their details to choose one or the other.
We will also have the possibility of establishing other filters to locate the sources that interest us faster, such as establishing a specific language. We also find different categories to further limit font searches. Once we click on the sample that interests us, in the new window that appears we already find a direct download button and download a compressed file with many sizes of that source.
