Hi everyone, I've never purchased a premium font for myself, but I notice that sites I really like that use clean fonts like "Europa" "Proxima Nova" and "Futura." Are these part of Adobe and do I have to buy a membership to use these? I'm really just looking for a clean, friendly font for paragraph text. Just curious what others do when Google fonts isn't enough.
TypeKit usually has plenty of choices. I like using WhatFont chrome extension to identify fonts on blogs that I like.
If there's a specific font that I like, but it's a premium font, I'll use a site like Identifont to find similar alternatives.
Then I 'll select a free alternative from that list. I definitely agree that in the early days there are more important things to spend money on.
Yes, could use Typekit for this.
Another interesting option, because of their library, is Cloud Typography
You could convert fonts with an online generator like this one: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
However, it is technically not legal to do so. As an Indie Hacker, Google Fonts is perfectly fine with me. There are more important aspects to a startup that could use those funds.
