Fonts Arena runs a small curated free-font list alongside articles pitching free alternatives to well-known premium fonts, all ad-free.
The 'free alternative to X' angle is the actual differentiator - it's aimed at people who can't afford Gotham or Helvetica Now and want something visually close.
Useful specifically when a client wants the look of an expensive typeface without the budget for it.
There's no explicit license statement on the pages themselves, and 'free alternative' is a design-similarity claim, not a licensing one - check the actual license of each recommended font before using it commercially.
A curated collection of high-quality free fonts, with a focus on web typography.
