TRENDING FREE Fonts
ANTIC DIDONE – is an elegant font that is great for headlines and subheadlines. First designed for newspaper and magazine headlines, the large x-height in the characters makes it easy to read – especially on the web.
PRATA – If you’re looking for a good alternate to something like Playfair Display, check out Prata. It has a similar feel but it’s not quite as common.
POPPINS – Sans serif fonts are having a moment in 2024. If you’re looking for a clean font that is easy to read, Poppins is a great choice. It comes in a variety of weights and variations (bold, italic).
NANUM MUEONGIO– is another classic font with a similar feel to Cormorant Garamond. It’s a thinner font that looks beautiful as a headline or body copy.
Design Tools

PHOTOSHOP – For heavy editing on your laptop, this program has everything you’ll ever need in photo editing.
CANVA – Both free or pro (paid) versions are incredibly useful, but the pro version is so worth it. You can create any type of content you’ll ever dream up on Canva.
