Frequently Asked Questions
Are free fonts safe to use in commercial projects?
Not automatically. "Free to download" and "free for commercial use" are different things: many free fonts are licensed for personal use only, meaning logos, client work, monetized videos and products for sale need a separate license. Fonts released under the SIL Open Font License — which covers nearly everything on Google Fonts — are the safest free option for commercial work.
How can I check a font's license before using it?
Look for the license file (usually license.txt or readme.txt) included in the download — it overrides any short label shown on a website. If the license is unclear, visit the type designer's own site to verify, and when in doubt, stick to verified sources like Google Fonts or Font Squirrel's commercial-use listings.
What counts as commercial use of a font?
Commercial use is broader than selling things. It includes client design work, business websites, branding and logos, social media posts for a business, packaging, and any project that generates revenue or promotes a business. A personal blog or school project usually qualifies as personal use.
Where should I install a font after downloading it?
On Windows, right-click the font file and choose Install to make it available in all programs; on macOS, double-click the file and add it through Font Book. For websites, webfont formats (WOFF or WOFF2) are loaded with an @font-face rule or a service like Google Fonts instead of installing anything locally.
