SamIf you're a web designer, you know that finding the right font can be crucial to the success of a project. The right font can add personality and style to your website, while the wrong font can make it look unprofessional or confusing. Fortunately, there are many websites out there that offer a wide variety of fonts that you can use for free. In this post, we'll take a look at some of the best websites for finding free fonts for your web design projects.
Before we start, I want to bring your attention to DoTenX, an open-source modern platform to build websites, applications, APIs and much more.

I finish the post by showing you how to add a Google font to your web page in DoTenX.
Go the the Page Settings > Head Code:
Copy the link of the font that Google font gives you and paste it in Head Code section and click Save.
Now you can simply type in the name of the new font (Inter in our example) and Add it. From now on, you can use this font everywhere in your page.
