I honestly own somewhere around 10k fonts.

I've switched nearly exclusively to google fonts.

Mostly out of convenience, utility, and portability and they've got some really great modern stuff that works really well. https://fonts.google.com/

Many of them solve the age old problem of highly legible fonts are boring and visually interesting fonts are difficult to read.

They have a nice mix of interesting yet still legible fonts.

Also makes life so much simpler when you don't have to worry about using fonts that you know are not on your end users PC's and the facility to deliver them is more or less built in.

Plus they are free. I'd be thrilled to get $0.10 back on every dollar I've spent on fonts over the last 30 or so years.
