Quality fonts are expensive, and free fonts usually look like they belong on a 2004 Geocities page. Fontshare is the exception: 100+ professionally designed, free-to-use font families from the team behind the Indian Type Foundry. Every font comes with variable support, web font embedding, and commercial licensing included. It's basically Google Fonts but with typography that actually makes designers happy.
