Helvetica and Arial are the most overused fonts on the web and
as with anything that gets
overused, it gets boring. Theyre also usually used as backup
fonts when a custom font
cant be shown. Thankfully there are hundreds of alternatives
available and some of the
best are free. Googles web font family has some awesome fonts
which are brilliant, and
better looking than Helvetica and Arial. Ive picked out five
fonts which are brilliant
alternatives and are free to use how you like.
Unfortunately Googles own user interface for its web fonts is
awful and doesnt show off

the fonts look pretty stale.
So I suggest actually trying them out in Photoshop or on a
website to see how they really
look in different circumstances.

Lato
Source Sans Pro
