you love free fonts and i love free fonts but what are the top 10 places to find those free fonts
online listen carefully to today's list because some of these websites have interesting features
that you need to know about and yes you will know some of these websites but i highly doubt you know
every single one on today's list and the first one is called font struct now this is a really
interesting thing indeed because it's a free font creation tool that you can use to make your own
fonts and then upload them onto the website now you can view what people have been making in the
gallery section and then check the licensing next to the font downloads there are some real gems to
be found on this website completely for free the next place is a website most of us love and that's
behance if you go ahead and search free font in behance you will be met with a huge amount of
results as seen here not only are a lot of these free fonts free for commercial use there is a lot
of inspiration because the projects are often shown in a very well made and designed manner
it's kind of like eye candy for us designers and that's a lot like this font here
randy typeface but of course always check each project to see if it is free for commercial use
next up is website number three and this is the website that i first started downloading fonts
way back about 10 years ago now on the font the best thing to do is to click the themes and then
search whichever kind of style you want to go for so for example sans serif
you then search the settings to click 200 fonts and then also 100 free in the drop down menu
so this will only show you free for commercial use fonts and there are a lot of gems to find
on the font so enjoy next up is font fabric the developers of this website have really got a great
eye for design have taken a lot of care to create a visually appealing website again always check
for font licenses and see what freebies you can download on this website because there are a lot
of decent downloads that's for sure font fabric is another one that not many people know about
number five is another old favorite of mine and that is font squirrel when scrolling through
font square you should be aware that the small icons below each of the font name do indicate
the license agreements it basically tells you where you can use them where you can't
you want to see the commercial use icon being highlighted when downloading your choices and
that's the one with the desktop monitor on the left but yeah lots to be found on font square
the free font website in at number six is one thousand and one fonts which i'm pretty sure
at this point they have more than a thousand and one fonts to download there are a lot of
font categories at the top which i feel is the best way to browse this website for free fonts
if you look above the download button next to each font it shows the license agreement you
want to see public domain and not to see purchase license icons below the download one again it just
requires that you're aware of what you're doing when you're shopping for these free fonts website
number seven is called font space now this website doesn't have a huge library but what they do have
is an excellent feature that i think every font website needs and that is a commercial use button
you just simply click this one button and every font you see would be 100 free for commercial use
but like i said there isn't a huge amount of fonts to download but there are gems to be found
now here's one you likely have never heard of neo grey this site has a very refined selection
of fonts that are all beautifully displayed but yeah i do like these kitsch websites that spend a
lot of time on presentation and how they actually look and here you can find free for personal use
and also commercial use and often all you need to do is to donate to gain access to the ones
that aren't free so technically you can donate any amount of money you wish to unlock them
they also have other sections to the website such as logos and also cover design and i do like the
style of this website because the work is really neat to need the penultimate free font website
is the league of movable type this is an entirely open source font foundry which means three things
firstly it enables new fonts to be created by designers secondly it enables free font licensing
and thirdly people can educate themselves on how things are made in the font world by spending time
on this website it's an interesting idea and there are some gm's on here as well
even though the font library is pretty small and in at number 10 is of course google fonts
we all know how helpful google fonts has become to designers you can find thousands of
fonts waiting for you to be downloaded free for commercial use and the library is ever growing
so i partnered up with the international open academy to create a course on how to create
and run a successful graphic design business this course goes into a whole lot of detail on
how to do that and i offer some tips and some advice on how to get to where you want to be
as a graphic designer in this space setting up and running a business can be quite confusing
and some people get lost along the way so this course really outlines where you need to be
going and what you need to be doing step by step and there should be two links in the description
box below one is a standard link that reduces the course price down to 39 but also we have a
black friday and cyber monday promo link as well this second link will reduce the price
to nine dollars for any individual course on the academy and 59 for all horses with one year access
and finally 79 for all courses with a lifetime access it's a huge deal so give the links a click
and have a look around for yourself and until next time guys design your future today peace
your love helps me maintain
