Open-source fonts? (midwest.social)

I’d be really eager to dump my Adobe suite subscription for good, but a significant factor holding me back is how vast and high-quality their font library is. I’ve poked around a bit and found some resources like Open Foundry but beyond that, what I’ve found is relatively sparse.

Are there any good resources for finding open-source (or at least public domain or the like) fonts? Or are there any specific open-source fonts anyone has used before that they’d recommend?

So like...idk? But a hundred years back we used FontSquirrel and DaFont. To be honest, you can download a ton of Google Fonts. I am not sure how good they are for print, but for screen they're quite good.
