Visually filter and compare this curated set of Google Fonts.

You won't need to understand any font terminology to use this tool because the fonts are categorized visually. Visual categories are more exact than terminology. For example, the terms “serif” and “sans-serif” are ambiguous because many fonts blend the visual characteristics of both. Filter the font list with the buttons at the far left. By default, the list shows one font-weight per family, but you can expand the weights for more filters. Star fonts to compare them more easily. Tap the name of any font for more information.

    I've been looking for new fonts to use for a new project, but there weren't any great tools for seeing how a particular serif font for headers would look with another sans font for paragraph text, so I built a tool that lets you compare, adjust, and tinker with the way you'd use a font in your specific project before downloading it/setting it up. This is only using the free Google fonts for now. If there are other open-source fonts I should add, let me know and I'll add them!
