You can find the license for each font in the attributes section on its page. Below is a general explanation of what each license allows and restricts.

Personal Use Only

This font is free for personal use. You may use it for non-commercial projects that do not generate income, such as personal design practice, school projects, invitations, gifts, or social media content for private use. Commercial use is not allowed unless the license file included in the download explicitly permits it.

Commercial Use

For commercial use of any font, always check the license file included in the download package (such as readme.txt, license.txt, or license.pdf).
If no license information is provided, commercial use is not allowed unless you receive written permission from the font author.
Fonts that are explicitly marked as Public Domain can be used for commercial purposes.

Commercial use may include:

  • Creating branding materials such as logos (for you or your clients)
  • Using the font in design work for websites, social media, and digital content
  • Creating artwork for products such as packaging, posters, clothing, or other commercial items

For large-volume projects, broadcasting, or embedding fonts in apps/websites, you may need an extended or separate license depending on the author’s terms. If the license terms are unclear, please contact the font author before using the font commercially.
