The result was a lack of typographical creativity. With CSS3 however, some browsers started supporting @font-face which enabled designers to display custom fonts on their web page. As a result, many Web font services emerged including TypeKit, and eventually, [Google Web Fonts](https://google.com/fonts/). There are now well over 600 fonts supported in Google Web Fonts, and in today's [Web Design & Development Digest](https://www.websitemagazine.com/blog/design-development/default) we are featuring ten of the most popular fonts that can be found through that resource. Not only are they some of the most popular, but in our opinion, they are also some of the most usable. You'll also find listed below a chart indicating how many times the font was served by the Google Font API over the past few weeks/months. If you're using Google Web fonts, let us know which is your favorite. Website Magazine will provide a follow up to this post with a reference to that font and, if it is in use on your Web property, a link to that as well. Enjoy these fonts!   ### [OPEN SANS](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans) ![Open Sans Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/opensans-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=491&height=135&name=opensans-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Open Sans Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/opensans-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=637&height=170&name=opensans-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [OSWALD](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Oswald) ![Olwald Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/oswald-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=506&height=124&name=oswald-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Olwald Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/oswald-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=641&height=168&name=oswald-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [PT SANS](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/PT+Sans) ![PT Sans Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PTSans-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=517&height=125&name=PTSans-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![PT Sans Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ptsans-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=629&height=169&name=ptsans-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [YANONE KAFFEESATZ](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Yanone+Kaffeesatz) ![Yanone Kaffeesatz Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/YanoneKaffeesatz-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=490&height=127&name=YanoneKaffeesatz-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Yanone Kaffeesatz Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/YanoneKaffeesatz-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=640&height=174&name=YanoneKaffeesatz-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [ARVO](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Arvo) ![Arvo Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ArvoWebFont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=506&height=127&name=ArvoWebFont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Arvo Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Arvo-Web-Font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=645&height=167&name=Arvo-Web-Font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [LORA](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lora) ![Lora Web FOnt](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lora-web-font-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=483&height=127&name=lora-web-font-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Lora Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lora-web-font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=647&height=173&name=lora-web-font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [RALEWAY](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Raleway) ![Raleway Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/raleway-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=501&height=123&name=raleway-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Raleway Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/raleway-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=638&height=166&name=raleway-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [BITTER](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Bitter) ![Bitter Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bitter-web-font-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=489&height=127&name=bitter-web-font-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Bitter Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bitter-web-font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=637&height=159&name=bitter-web-font-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [CABIN](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cabin) ![Cabin Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Cabin-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=493&height=127&name=Cabin-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Cabin Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cabin-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=634&height=168&name=cabin-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ### [CUPRUM](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Cuprum) ![Cuprum Web Font](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cuprum-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=482&height=125&name=cuprum-webfont-1-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Cuprum Web Font Usage Stats](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cuprum-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=632&height=159&name=cuprum-webfont-2-2-1-1-1.jpg)   ![Peter Devereaux](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Peter_Devereaux.png) [Peter Devereaux](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-design/author/peter-devereaux) As the Editor-in-Chief of Website Magazine and President of Website Services, Peter has established himself as a prominent figure in the digital marketing industry.
