Fonts: Adobe Typekit (now free) also well known Google fonts. Avoid dafonts and similar to it like a plague.

Icons inspiration: the noun project.
Some designers share free resources on Behance as self-promotion. You can search there too.

Be aware of Dribbble and other platforms. While it's cool search for inspiration, a good designer follows users needs, not the hype or trends.

Lastly, for any real professional work I hire illustrators or other professional profiles to the job, and if there is no budget for that then quality stock resources.
