Best Sans Serif Fonts in 2025
Explore a selection of the best sans serif fonts from the Groteskly Yours Studio type library—crafted to meet the needs of modern designers across branding, editorial, UI/UX, and beyond.
Choosing the best sans serif fonts is subjective, but one thing is clear—they’re everywhere. From digital interfaces to branding, these typefaces define modern design.
Sans serif fonts (also known as grotesques) are fonts that do not have serifs—those small projecting strokes at the ends of letters. Because of their lack of embellishments, sans fonts are seen as more readable and minimalist — virtually everything modern designers may need and want. The popularity is backed by statistics, with a recent survey from Monotype indicating that 52% of designers have used sans serif fonts over the past year.
At Groteskly Yours Studio, we know how to choose a sans serif font. Explore this list of our best sans serif fonts and font combinations from Groteskly Yours Studio type library.
