DaFont
DaFont is one of the most popular popular platform for downloading free fonts. Most of the fonts in the site only support personal use, but there are plenty of fonts that come with commercial licenses as well.

DaFont have a very good category system. Which lets you browse its fonts collection based on different themes like horror-themed fonts, video game fonts, valentine themed fonts, and much more. This offers designers an easy way to quickly find fonts for different types of projects.

This sites includes more than 10,000 fonts. The site features an often updated collection of high-quality fonts. Many of the fonts are available for commercial use.

You can also browse the fonts in 1001 Fonts according to font style, size, and even font weight to quickly find fonts that match your design projects.

Font Squirrel

Most of the fonts featured in Font Squirrel also comes with commercial licenses. To avoid complications, the site makes it quite easier for users to check the licenses for each font before downloading them.

Font Squirrel also features a set of useful tools, including a Webfont Generator for creating your own web fonts and a cool Font Identifier, which helps you detect and find fonts based on images.

Google Fonts
Google Fonts is one of the first sites that come up on top when searching for free fonts. This massive library features over 800 font families of various types, from sans serif to handwriting fonts, monospaced fonts, and more.

Google Fonts is widely used by web designers for faster and reliable font hosting. However, what most designers don’t know is that the fonts in Google Fonts are downloadable.

And the best part is all the fonts on Google Fonts are open-source. You can use them however you like.

This is an excellent free color tool. Pop in color and it creates matching color palettes (such as complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic or monochromatic colors schemes).
