A free, simple one I like: https://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro (also available from Google and Adobe).

I have long hesitated to pay for fonts for personal, non commercial use. However a well designed font really can make a difference in the usability of a computer. I'm checking these out, I'm at the point where I would be willing to spend some serious cash for a font. Although to me, "serious cash" for a personal use item would be around $25, some of these cost upwards of $100.

Part of my hesitation is a lack of understanding how to analyze fonts and my preference. I've done some reading on typography and design, but any time I install a new font, the depth of my emotion goes as far as "this is nice" or "I liked the previous font more, I guess".



Although some say their trial fonts used for non-commercial works. most foundries doesn’t actually have a seperate license for NC usage. For instance Input have a free (as in free beer) non-commercial license but you have to pay for it if you want to use it in commercial stuff.

(btw, font licensing in general is a mess)
