## How to choose font tools

1. Default to free for most use casesGoogle Fonts and Fontshare offer high-quality typefaces for free with commercial use. For most projects, free fonts meet the bar. Pay for commercial fonts (MyFonts, Type Network) when brand demands a specific exclusive face.
2. Adobe Fonts if you're on Creative CloudAdobe Fonts is included with Creative Cloud, large library, commercial license, automatic sync. For Creative Cloud subscribers, this is the rational default beyond Google Fonts.
3. Plan for performanceFont loading affects page speed. Self-host critical fonts, subset to what you use, preload key faces. Google Fonts CDN is convenient but adds external request; for performance-critical sites, self-hosting is faster.
