i'm going to show you free for commercial use font downloads that you can download
right now and there are actually 17 different fonts in five typefaces in today's video i'm
also going to show you how i think they might be used in a logo design situation
heading into 2021 so it is important that when you use fonts for a logo design project
that you have a license that is suitable for commercial use and so today's video is
going to help you with that situation as you may already know i streamline and optimize my design
projects with millinote and this is for ultimate functionality and time saving
and to learn more about miller notes and also the recent updates and how i make my
life so much more efficient and so much easier stay tuned to the very end of today's video
i'm starting things off with cumbersands a lovely sanitary of typeface that you can grab
totally for free in two different ways now these two weights are regular and bold and it couldn't
be more simple than that now this typeface is really quite neat and of course it comes in both
upper and lowercase lettering along with numerical values and so when you add in the glyphs and the
symbols you pretty much have the whole shabam but for logo designing how might you use this
font or this typeface sans serif fonts have various different connotations psychologically
speaking but in this instance i have quickly mocked up a tech company logo now sans serif
fonts kind of like a sense of trust or a kind of cutting-edge modernity now this works really well
for tech companies and also startups in 2021 and as you can see i've used some contrast here with
some bold and also thin versions of the letter forms and also i've mixed things up with the
tight kerning and also the wider coning below and this is what we call contrast in logo design folks
and the next typeface today is another sans-serif edition
and that is space grotesque now i really do love this font family and if you look at the
download page you will see a beautiful display of this typeface crafted out before your eyes
space grotesque is an open source project meaning that it's completely free to download for
commercial use and also it's open to be edited by just about anybody so when you download the
family you'll be given four different fonts as seen here light regular medium and bold as with
the previous typeface this one has upper and lowercase letterforms and also numerical values
now this typeface is very tech orientated in terms of how it looks because the appearance suggests a
kind of notion of programming or website design now i'm sure that a lowercase single word would
work really well in this font for a startup company specifically in the tech niche we
could also maybe go for something like this with the uppercase letter forms and also wide kerning
oh yeah and also don't think these logos are developed designs i'm literally making these
on the fly for today's video so let's move into a serif font today and that's going to be called ic
this typeface only comes in one weight but you will soon see that it is totally worth
the download it also however only comes in one case and that is uppercase letter forms
but when you type things out with cap locks on some characters are really unique as seen here on
the a and so here is an example of using a single word typographic logo and like i said you can see
how the a has a unique twist on that crossbar i think it does look really awesome in all fairness
this next typeface is quite unique and it is free well actually there is a free version of aquatico
but there are also paid versions of it as well but you can dictate how much you want to pay
i myself did go ahead and buy the whole font family actually but yeah you can of course
download the free version anyway aquatico comes in four different weights lights light oblique
regular and also regular oblique this is another typeface that is only presented in uppercase
characters and so it would make great use as the main logo type of a logo design so pairing
it up with a basic and somewhat thin sans-serif font does work pretty well as you can see here
the font is quite decorative for a sans-serif font and it comes across as quite sophisticated so this
would be great for fashion labels maybe makeup brands or high-end perfume or cologne brands
alio is a slab serif typeface and is completely free to download for commercial use
in six different ways those are lights light italic regular italic bold and bold italic elio
does come in both up and lowercase characters as well as those numerical values now this typeface
is very defined and it commands authority it's kind of serious in nature and can suggest class
or superiority again this might work well for things like fashion brands but i think
in a lowercase letter form it could also work for tech companies and startups too a lowercase
design would be more personal and more friendly as opposed to the uppercase slab serif solution
now as a graphic designer i do feel the need to have functionality and streamline planning
at my fingertips and that's why i've partnered with miller note for two years but it's also why
i use them for every single design project that i work on it's visual planning for us designers
and as a logo designer that's absolutely crucial but it's a lot more than just that as you can see
on screen i've invited a work partner onto this project board and they can leave comments and even
emoji reactions i can also do that too and this offers a teamwork functionality and also a client
to design a relationship dynamic with middle notes you can create lists mood boards notes typography
choices drag and drop imagery and so much more now it has become a staple of my design process
