Ask HN: What are your favorite free web typefaces?

I use Adobe Source Sans Pro on my company's website, and Google Open Sans is very popular too.

I'm very fond of Eben Sorkin's Merriweather & Merriweather Sans. The large x height make it a really nice and legible screen font.

Steve Matteson's Open Sans is another one that's become a bit of a go-to typeface for me.

Thanks for the link.

I was actually building a blog some time ago. One of the fonts that stuck with me was Vollkorn. It's a heavy serif typeface. While good for headlines, I wanted it for body text. It works best in bigger sizes (20px +) and it was hard to find a pairing.

I also like Oswald for headline or big titles.

Droid Sans and Open Sans are two of my favorites.
