I have to say I'm really impressed with Google fonts. I've just been building a new site and I'm using Tenor Sans for the headlines, looks quite a bit like the New Yorker headline typeface. It's just paired with arial/sans but looks good. I also use Plantin (not a webfont) in various graphics, so it's a classical serif look for the most part.
The best part about Google fonts is the lack of need to worry about licensing etc and really easy to use (even I managed it).I think typography on the web is finally getting to a place where sites can look good, and individual at last

i've installed the entire google font set (300+)
It's nice to be doing web layouts without having to worry about what fonts you're using.not sure all the girly handwriting ones are that useful at the moment.

Plug-in isn’t sexy BUT god damn is it functional (Wordpress-based): https://useanyfont.com/.
My entire life is legit now BUT I still use illegal fonts (FoNtZ?) and I will never stop AND the above plug-in accommodates them perfectly.
