About Free Font Designers

A free font catalog for designers who want to check the license before they download.

A catalog, not a foundry

We list free fonts by independent designers. We did not design them and we do not own them.

License first

Every font page shows the license label next to the download, before you get the files.

Designers stay credited

Each font links to its designer, their website, and their donation or commercial license page when they have one.

Where the fonts come from

The fonts on this site are free releases from independent type designers. The description on each font page is the designer’s own text from the release, shown as they wrote it, so you can read their notes on use, credits, and commercial licensing.

Many of these fonts are free for personal use only. When a designer sells a commercial license, the font page links to it.

What you can do here

Preview a font with your own words before you download it, check which characters it covers in the glyph view, and see which file formats are in the download.

Save fonts to come back to them later, and reopen your download history from your account. Staff Picks collects the fonts we have looked at more closely.

How license labels work

The label on a font page is a short summary such as “Free for personal use” or “100% free”. The license file inside the download, or the terms on the designer’s own site, is the one that applies. When they disagree, follow the designer.

Our license guide explains the common license types and what usually counts as commercial use.

Corrections and takedowns

If you made a font listed here and want your credits, links, or description changed, or want the listing removed, email hello@freefontdesigners.com with the font page link. We review every request and update or remove the listing.

Designers can also submit new fonts through the submit form.
