Font choice is a crucial detail that can make or break your web design.

From traditional serifs to creative scripts, choosing great font pairs is essential for every project. But with so many options out there, who can say which fonts are best suited to pack a visual punch?

To help determine some of the very best fonts for web design, we dug into the font choices of Webflow users over the past several years. We discovered 11 different fonts that hung out at the top of the charts year after year.

‍

Roboto (+ Condensed and Slab)

Roboto is an incredibly popular font choice for web designers, so it’s no surprise that basic, sans serif Roboto as well as the Condensed and Slab variations have been frontrunners for Webflow users for the past few years.

The Roboto font family offers a wide range of variation in weights, widths and styles — making it a versatile choice for website design. The condensed versions provide more space efficiency, while the slab versions provide a serif option to pair with the classic Roboto.

Roboto has excellent character support for many major writing systems, including Latin Extended (for all European languages), Cyrillic (Russian/Bulgarian/Ukrainian etc.), Greek and Hebrew alphabets amongst others, making it perfect for multilingual websites.

Libre Franklin

Libre Franklin is a modern and versatile web font that brings classic American typeface aesthetics to the internet. It’s a common choice for multilingual websites because it supports both Latin-based languages and non-Latin languages like Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic.

This digitally-optimized font was built with OpenType features like small caps, ligatures, fractions formatters, and other stylistic alternatives. This ensures that the font remains crisp and clear regardless of screen size or how far viewers are zoomed in or out. And with more than 700 glyphs and three different weights, Libre Franklin gives designers plenty of options for typographic design.

Raleway

Raleway is a san serif font with open letterforms that make it easy to read on screens. Thanks to the various weights, widths, and stylistic alternatives — including swashes, ligatures, fractions, old-style numerals, arrows, and circled letters — designers have a lot of options to work with when designing with this classic font.

Both Windows and Mac operating systems support Raleway. It’s also available on Google Fonts, making it one of the best fonts for web design because designers can access the font without having to worry about licensing or downloading any files. In Webflow, you can add Google Fonts directly to your project.

Inter

Inter was specifically designed for screens and user interfaces. Because it’s a variable font, Inter works especially well in responsive designs because it can easily adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions — ensuring that your content is always easy to read on all devices including small screens.

Inter features a range of stylistic alternatives which allow designers to add subtle nuances to their typography. And because Inter is an open-source project, designers have the option to customize it to suit their specific needs.

Source Sans Pro

Source Sans Pro is one of the best fonts for web design because it was specifically designed for maximum legibility and readability on the web. This sans serif font has clear and concise letterforms that make it skimmable. Generous spacing also helps Source Sans Pro stand out against busy backgrounds or images on webpages.

The character set of Source Sans Pro covers over 200 languages and variations like Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese — making it ideal for multi-language and international websites. Plus, this typeface has been designed with anti-aliasing technology — a technique used to improve the appearance of fonts on digital displays — which makes it look great even on low resolution screens.
