A Massive Thank You
We have to say a HUGE thank you to the creators of the fonts in this post. Creating a font is not an easy task. You can’t just throw up a few lines and curves to create 26 letters.
It involves dozens of special type characters, spacing adjustments, variations, capitals, lower case … then italics, bold and more. With a hefty dose of patience and attention to detail thrown in! So we are hugely grateful to the designers that provide these best free fonts for us to use.
A Reminder
Again, while we have aimed to only include the best free fonts that are free for personal and commercial use, you still need to check the font licences of each individual font for personal and commercial use.
All font licence information is listed on the font websites. Only upload fonts into Easil that you have full permission to use. “Free” doesn’t necessarily mean “Royalty Free” in terms of where you can use it. It just means that you don’t have to pay for the font.
Over to You
Are you in love with these best free fonts as much as we are? What are your favorite free fonts right now?
