Sans Serif Google Font Line Up
Summer is in full swing, and I’ve been inspired lately from clean, minimal and friendly san serif typefaces. San serifs are considered more modern than serifs, as they lack the strokes that distinguish a serif typeface. The use of the French word “sans,” which means “without.” I’ve always had a soft spot in my studio for a sleek, modern sans serif, and today I’m sharing 6 favorites that won’t break the bank, as they are all from Google fonts.
One thing to note about Google fonts is that they can easily be added to your website, Canva graphics, Adobe design programs, as well as if a client specifically works within Google Drive/Sheets/Presentations, as currently only Google fonts are allowed to be uploaded within programs like Google Slides.
One.
Poppins
Poppins has been in my rotation on a handful of projects now. It’s such a versatile font with multiple weights (9 different weights ranging from 100-900), clean feel and it’s very legible. A win-win in my books. I’ve used it from package design, website and collateral, as it fits well with a variety of other fonts.
two.
Sen
Sen offers a tidy, slightly unique yet approachable vibe, perfect for those who want to present minimally and modern online. I especially enjoy the Sen font in all caps, as it gives off a more high end, premium font style. Again, the Sen font comes in a variety of weights, allowing it to be very flexible with headlines, subheadings and paragraph styling.
three.
Krub
For those in the beauty space, wellness or want a slightly more unique and feminine font, Krub is a great option. Its soft corners give off a fresh, feminine vibe and looks great in lowercase and title case especially. Again, Krub has a variety of weights, but I prefer it on the lighter side.
four.
Fahkwang
Fahkwang is a gorgeous sans serif font that can be a show stopper for headings. The width of the letters add a modern, boutique vibe, allowing for this font to really take center stage. This google font is perfect for contemporary brands, wellness experts or creative design studios.
five.
Noto Sans
Noto Sans offers a neutral and accessible tone, with many weights and styles. And as an added bonus, this google font has a vast library for those who need multilingual support for their design projects. This sans serif font also looks great in italics, which can be tricky to do within sans serif fonts.
six.
Sora
I wanted to include a Google font that looks stunning when used at a heavier weight. Sora fits the bill, as I love how it looks at the medium weight–just bold enough to be a bit edge, but still fresh, modern and contemporary. I could see Sora working nicely for those in the tech space, an app-driven business or a restaurant.
