Font Licenses
If you believe your copyright-protected work was posted on Free For Fonts without authorization, you may submit a copyright infringement notification. These requests should only be submitted by the copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
The license type of a font determines how you may use it.
Personal Use
Typically refers to any use that is not meant to generate profit, such as:
- Scrapbooking
- Graphic design for personal websites, blogs, etc.
- Flyers or invitations to friends and family
- Churches, charities, or non-profit organizations
- Making a T-shirt for yourself or friends at no charge
Commercial Use
For companies or individuals that may profit from the use of the font, such as:
- Flyer or poster for an event that charges admission
- Printing a T-shirt that you will be selling
- Text or graphics in a book
- Graphic design work (logo, business card, website)
- Any other situations where you are getting paid
In the majority of font licenses, the font designer or author still retains copyright, which means you are not allowed to sell the font itself or claim it as your own.
If you want to use a font for commercial purposes — such as in a logo design, advertisement, or product sold in the market — you will need to purchase a license or use a font that is licensed for commercial use.
