If you are creating your first
design or website
or a seasoned pro,
do you look for fresh and new fonts?
In today's video, we will discuss
a few websites that I like to share.
If you are creating anything,
you need to read the readme.txt file
or the information on the font's usage.
For example, if the font says free for personal use,
that means you can use the font to make a birthday card.
If you decide to sell the birthday card to the public or online,
you can't use it
because it becomes commercial use.
One way around is contacting the creator and maybe
buy the font outright.
Or use free commercial ones.
This video will share both,
as some fonts are available for personal and commercial use.
